Video analytics software price, per camera and per month
- Published, no sales call
- No card to run the demo
- Annual billing is 20 percent lower
Count your cameras. The tier follows from that number, and everything else is a detail.
Annual billing takes 20 percent off every tier. There is no setup fee, no per event charge, no per user charge inside the tier, and no hardware to buy.

Enterprise
Unlimited cameras and sites, a custom retention policy, SIEM and syslog delivery, an on-premise connector, a custom MSA, purchase order and invoice billing, and a named contact with an SLA. Priced against your camera count, and quoted in writing.
There is no free plan, by design. A free tier of a security product is a tier that gets deployed and then forgotten, and we would rather sell you the smallest paid tier and have you notice whether it works. The demo on the homepage is ungated and complete.

Watch says no four times. It is a real tier for a real four camera site, and dressing that up would only cost you a refund later. What Watch does include is the same detection and the same classification as every tier above it.
Put your own camera count in. The arithmetic is the whole argument.
Enterprise camera platforms are positioned publicly at roughly $100 per camera per month, plus hardware, on a multi-year term, after a sales call. We have not seen your quote and we are not claiming to know it. What we can do is put the published positioning next to a published price, let you set the camera count, and let you check both.
The estimator picks the cheapest tier that covers the count you set, so it also answers the only question the table above leaves open: which tier is yours. Above 60 cameras it stops doing arithmetic, because that is where we quote too.
The part that is not arithmetic: an enterprise platform replaces your cameras and carries the hardware warranty. If that is what you need, buy that. This is for the site where the cameras are fine and the software is not.
A fuller comparison, naming real products and real public prices, is in the best video analytics software roundup.
1 to 120 on the slider, more in the field.
A second site is what moves a small camera count up a tier.
The two lower rows are that market's published positioning, not a quote we have seen, and the hardware row is a one time cost rather than a recurring one. Put your own quote in its place: the point of publishing our number is that you only have to find one of the two.
What people ask about the price itself.
01
Is there a free plan?
No. Every tier is paid. The demo on the homepage is free, ungated and complete: it runs the real detection in your browser and classifies the events it finds, with no account and no limit. What we do not offer is a free production tier, because a security tool nobody pays for is a security tool nobody checks.
02
Do I pay per event or per alert?
No. The price is per tier, and the tier is defined by cameras and sites. Events, alerts, zones within your tier, and API calls are not metered.
03
What happens if I go over my camera count?
You move to the next tier. Nothing stops working first and nothing is billed by surprise, because the camera count is something you set, not something we discover.
04
Can I pay annually by invoice?
Annual invoicing and purchase orders are on Multi-Site and Enterprise. Watch and Operate are card only, which keeps them self serve.
05
Is there a contract?
Monthly plans are monthly. Annual plans are a year, at 20 percent less. Enterprise terms are whatever the MSA says, negotiated in writing.
06
What do I actually get on the day I sign up?
The console, the moment the card goes through: cameras up to your tier, exclude zones, the classified event timeline and alerts, and the billing portal to change tier or cancel. Signing up confirms your email with a 6 digit code, and nothing is charged until you pick a tier.
