Our take
Video intelligence is the process of analyzing real-time video footage with AI-driven computer vision to diagnose and solve problems. Whilst most businesses could benefit from such technology, it usually requires the expensive and disruptive installation of specialized camera equipment, and when combined with its complexity of use, this deters many potential users.
Spot AI develops an AI-driven video intelligence platform for businesses, offering software integrations for existing cameras and free-to-use high-resolution cameras. The platform allows all relevant parties to access videos securely and investigate them through AI-driven computer vision, preventing the need for time-consuming manual investigations and back-and-forth access dilemmas.
The largest challenge the company faces is the expensive nature of video intelligence, but Spot AI provides its technology either through integration with existing cameras or by providing its high-definition cameras for free. Along with offering 24/7 cloud storage to unlimited users with automated privacy compliance, these approaches show potential for the company to boost accessibility to video intelligence whilst making the technology easier to use, more effective, and less expensive. Substantial funding comes off the back of Spot AI's position as the fastest growing video intelligence company, with 17 industries under its belt.
