Smart Surveillance
Your AI Watchman. Never Blinks. Never Sleeps.
Your cameras record everything and tell you nothing. Footage only gets reviewed after something has already gone wrong. AI Cam watches it live instead — it judges every scene the way a guard would and messages you the moment something matters, on the cameras you already own.
In short
Traditional CCTV vs IO Snack AI Cam
See exactly what changes the day you switch — issue by issue.
How it works
Your cameras connect to a small device on site and are watched from that moment on — people, vehicles, fire, intrusion, loitering. The AI Watchman keeps its own watch on the whole scene as well, so a hazard that matches no rule is still caught. Your video stays on your premises.
Before anything reaches you it is written up in plain English and given a threat level from Critical to Routine, with false alarms filtered out. Built for reliability, so it keeps working without interruption.
Alert rules match each event against type, priority, camera, device and schedule. A rich visual alert reaches you by email and push notification — with cooldown windows so you are informed, never spammed.
Capability
The complete feature set, grouped by what it does for you.
Who it is for
Turn the cameras you already own into a watchful AI guard. Get a push notification with a photo the moment a person or vehicle enters your property — and nothing when it is just a passing cat.
Monitor entrances, lobbies and restricted areas with detection zones and business-hours alert rules. Operators watch live events while admins control settings and configuration.
Cover large perimeters with multiple local AI devices on one dashboard. Fire and smoke detection plus intrusion alerts protect high-value inventory around the clock.
Secure active construction sites and manage every location from a single unified hub. Loitering and intrusion detection guard equipment after hours, with role-based access for site teams.
Know when someone enters after closing, and keep the shop floor free of false alarms during trading hours. Zone off the till area and the stockroom door, and put staff on the known list so only unfamiliar faces raise a flag.
Watch entrances and restricted corridors without watching the people you already trust. Enrolled staff pass unnoticed while an unrecognised face at a side door raises an immediate alert with a photo.

| Additional Camera — Add one more camera to your account. Buy as many as you have cameras — a single local device can watch several at once, so extra cameras usually need no extra hardware. (buy as many as you need) | $3 |
| Cloud Clip Storage — Keep event clips in the cloud so footage survives the device being stolen or wiped. Includes 10GB with 90-day retention. Your device already records locally at no cost — this is the off-site copy. | $4 |
| Live Video Streaming — Watch any camera live from the same dashboard as your events — no separate manufacturer app, no port forwarding. Priced because live streams run through our relay and consume bandwidth. | $10 |

Before you ask
AI Cam is an AI-powered smart surveillance platform. Traditional CCTV simply records — you only find out about an incident when you review the tape afterwards. AI Cam adds intelligence: your cameras are watched in real time, real threats are picked out and independently checked, and each one is written up with a threat level. You get a rich visual alert the moment something matters, instead of hours of footage nobody is watching.
No. AI Cam works with the standard HD and IP cameras you already own — anything that provides an RTSP stream. Even if your cameras all run through a DVR or NVR recorder box, nothing gets rewired: the recorder keeps recording and showing on your TV, and AI Cam reads the channels you choose over your own network. You add one small local AI device (a mini-PC or Raspberry Pi class box) per site, and it does the detection. There is no rip-and-replace and no proprietary camera to buy.
Raw motion is never enough to alert you on its own — it has to be a real detection first, and you can draw detection zones so streets, skies and corridors are ignored entirely. Every event that gets through is then independently checked, given a threat level, and false positives are suppressed. Cooldown windows on alert rules then make sure the same event never spams you.
Detection covers people, vehicles, fire and smoke, intrusion, general motion and loitering. Events are then classified across sixteen types, which also include falls, crowds, zone breaches, packages, animals, weapons, bags, phones and screens. Beyond any fixed list, the AI Watchman judges the scene itself — so a danger nobody wrote a rule for is still reported. Each camera can have its own detection zones and its own detection on/off toggle, so coverage is tuned exactly to each location.
An alert rule answers a fixed question: is there a person, a vehicle, a fire? The AI Watchman asks an open one — is anything here wrong? It watches the way a night guard would and reports what it finds, including dangers nobody configured a rule for: someone who has fallen and is not moving, a fight, a weapon, a snake in the yard, a child alone near water, smoke already filling a room. You can give it standing instructions in plain English, such as "watch the kids near the pool" — those are duties added to its watch, never a filter on what else it may report. Findings are rated from low to critical and you set the level that reaches you, with a daily limit and a cooldown you choose so the cost stays predictable.
Alerts arrive by email and push notification with an event thumbnail and an AI-written description. You build alert rules around event type, priority, device, camera and schedule — including business-hours awareness — and the dashboard also gives immediate in-browser audio-visual warnings for critical events.
Yes. Whether you have two offices or fifty warehouses, multiple local AI devices report into one unified cloud dashboard. Device heartbeat monitoring shows you online / offline status across every site in real time.
Each company gets a completely isolated database — your events and clips are fully separated from every other customer. Your raw footage stays on your own premises and is never uploaded. Device communication is encrypted and authenticated over HTTPS, all data and credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256, and every action is recorded in an audit trail.
