Custom computer vision that detects, tracks, and recognizes objects, people, faces, and license plates in live video — on the edge or in your cloud. Sub-200 ms inference, trained on your classes. First model in 5–7 weeks, from $8K. Our recognition reads 500,000+ vehicles a day in production.
If you have cameras or video streams and need software to understand what is in them — count it, track it, recognize it, flag it — we build the recognition models and the pipeline around them.
A cloud vision API (AWS Rekognition, Google Vision) is quick but generic, priced per image, and your footage leaves your network. An off-the-shelf VMS bundles fixed analytics. A custom model is trained on your classes, runs on the edge, and the cost per camera drops as you scale.
A cloud API is fine to validate an idea. When accuracy on your specific classes, on-device latency, or keeping footage in your network matters, the custom model wins at any number of cameras. Securing a site specifically? See computer vision for video surveillance.
Video recognition is a pipeline: see the frame, find the objects, follow them, recognize them, and decide what to do — fast enough to act on live video. Here is what we build.
RTSP, WebRTC, or file streams come in from your cameras, decoded and frame-sampled for the model.
YOLO26 or RT-DETR finds the objects in each frame — people, vehicles, products, PPE, whatever your classes are.
ByteTrack or DeepSORT keeps a stable ID on each object as it moves, so you can count, dwell-time, and follow it.
Face recognition (ArcFace/InsightFace), ANPR for plates, or a custom classifier identifies the specific entity, not just its category.
Zones, line-crossing, loitering, PPE-missing, count thresholds — the events that matter to your operation, defined by you.
Alerts, a live dashboard, or an API push to your systems, in real time, with the clip attached.
End to end, recognition lands in under 200 ms on an NVIDIA Jetson at the camera, or in your cloud — fast enough to flag a problem while it is still happening.
No single model is best at every task. We assemble the detector, tracker, and recognizer per job, train on your footage, and deploy where the latency has to be.
MindBox runs facial recognition at 99.5%+ with anti-spoofing, and ANPR reading 500,000+ vehicles a day across India at ~95%.
EyeBuild runs 4K recognition distinguishing humans from vehicles on solar-powered edge cameras, with automated alerts.
Live Eye processes 2,000+ interactions a day, cutting shrink up to 30% and drive-offs 40%, across 10,000+ locations.
V.A.L.T spans 2,500+ cameras for 770+ organizations and 50,000+ users — recording, observation, and analysis.
Detect missing hard hats, vests, or people in restricted zones, and alert before an incident.
Count footfall, measure dwell time, and map flow through a space, in real time.
A cloud vision API recognizes generic labels in someone else’s cloud. A custom model recognizes your classes, on your edge, with your footage staying put. Here is the split.

What is AI video recognition software?
Software that understands video: it detects objects in each frame, tracks them across frames, and recognizes specific entities such as a face, a license plate, a product, or an action, then triggers events or analytics. It turns raw camera feeds into data and alerts you can act on.
What can it recognize?
Objects and people (detection), the same object over time (tracking), and specific identities or categories (recognition): faces, license plates, vehicles, PPE, products, actions, and any custom class we train on your footage.
Which models do you use?
Detectors: YOLO26, YOLOv12, RT-DETR, RF-DETR, EfficientDet. Tracking: ByteTrack, DeepSORT. Face: ArcFace, InsightFace. Plus ANPR for plates and custom classifiers. We pick per task and retrain on your data.
How accurate is it?
It depends on the task and your footage, but our production systems hit 99.5%+ on facial recognition and ~95% on license-plate reading at 500,000+ vehicles a day. We prove accuracy on a sample of your footage before the build.
Can it run on the edge / on-device?
Yes. We deploy on NVIDIA Jetson Orin with Triton and TensorRT, or OpenVINO/ONNX, for sub-200 ms inference at the camera - including fully offline on cellular or solar-powered sites.
How fast is it?
Detection runs in tens of milliseconds per frame and the full pipeline lands under ~200 ms end to end, fast enough to flag an event while it is still happening.
Does our video have to leave our network?
No. We run recognition on the edge or in your own cloud, so footage and recognition data stay with you - unlike a cloud vision API that sends every frame to a third party.
Can it detect custom events, not just objects?
Yes. We build the rules on top of detection and tracking - zones, line-crossing, loitering, missing PPE, count thresholds, dwell time - whatever events matter to your operation.
Can you add recognition to our existing cameras or product?
Yes. We work with your RTSP or WebRTC streams and existing cameras, and deliver alerts, a dashboard, or an API into your systems - no rip-and-replace.
What does it cost and how long does it take?
A Pilot is ~5–7 weeks from $8K; a production system ~10–12 weeks from $16K; a scaled edge fleet ~14+ weeks from $32K. Edge hardware and cloud GPU are billed at cost.
