Frequently Asked Questions

ElectricEye is an AI-powered platform that turns your existing IP cameras into proactive, context-aware safety and security monitors. It analyzes video events in real-time to detect unsafe behavior, security threats, and aggressive incidents, then triggers alerts and deterrents.

Property managers, security integrators, HOAs, construction companies, logistics yards, non-profit organizations, community centers, and enterprises needing proactive monitoring to improve workplace safety, reduce theft, detect aggressive behavior, and decrease response times.

Traditional systems detect objects; ElectricEye uses behavioral analysis to detect behavior and context (e.g., suspicious loitering, unsafe forklift driving, unauthorized entry), making it more accurate and proactive.

ElectricEye uses computer vision to analyze short video clips from event triggers. It immediately analyzes clips to describe the activity, classify severity, and decide whether to notify, deter, or ignore.

Intruders in restricted areas, PPE compliance violations, unsafe forklift driving, spills and floor hazards, suspicious loitering, tailgating, theft and tampering, property damage, and aggressive or threatening behavior in community and workplace settings. Every event is classified into a category and rated by severity.

No proprietary hardware. ElectricEye works directly with any existing camera with a streaming API, such as Axis Networks, and integrates with open video management systems like Eagle Eye Networks.

Yes, ElectricEye integrates with open video management systems like Eagle Eye Networks and works directly with any camera that has a streaming API, such as Axis Networks.

It sends Slack, Microsoft Teams or email alerts with video clips, can activate deterrents (lights, sirens), or issue live audio talk-downs. All activity is logged and categorized by severity.

Yes. By analyzing context rather than just detecting objects, ElectricEye filters out harmless activity (debris, wildlife, headlights) while escalating genuine threats. In customer pilots, ElectricEye has produced 93% to 95% fewer false alerts than the motion-based alerting it replaced. For context, the ASU Center for Problem-Oriented Policing found that 94% to 98% of conventional burglar alarm calls are false.

ElectricEye offers two flexible pricing models: pooled event-based pricing, similar to how a SIEM works in cybersecurity, where you pay based on the number of events processed across your cameras; or simple monthly per-camera pricing starting at $5 per month per camera.

ElectricEye processes short clips in the cloud for analysis; storage depends on the customer's VMS. We do not continuously stream or store video beyond event clips.

Your cameras are recording, but they're not thinking. Traditional CCTV captures footage for after-the-fact review. By the time someone watches the clip, the forklift near-miss already happened or the cargo is already gone. ElectricEye turns those same cameras into proactive behavioral sensors that detect unsafe actions and security threats in real time, alerting your team before an incident becomes a recordable injury or a six-figure theft loss. No new hardware required, just smarter analysis on the cameras you already own.

You don't have to. ElectricEye is designed to layer on top of your existing IP cameras and video management system. No proprietary hardware, no onsite servers, no forklift (pun intended) upgrade. Pricing starts at $5 per camera per month, making it a fraction of the cost of a single OSHA penalty ($16,550 to $165,514 per violation) or one cargo theft event (averaging $202,000+). Most distribution centers see positive ROI within the first 90 days of deployment.

Guards are essential, but even the best team can't watch every camera feed simultaneously, especially during skeleton-crew overnight shifts when vulnerability peaks between 1 AM and 4 AM. ElectricEye doesn't replace your guards; it makes them dramatically more effective by flagging dock-door loitering, trailer tampering, perimeter breaches, and suspicious behavior the moment it happens. Instead of relying on periodic patrols and hoping someone catches a monitor alert, your team gets real-time, AI-verified notifications with video clips so they can respond to genuine threats instantly, while filtering out the 95% of false alerts that cause alarm fatigue.

We built ElectricEye for exactly this conversation. Start with a free 4-camera pilot and measure the results yourself. Our warehouse customers typically see metrics like: 68% reduction in OSHA-recordable incidents within 90 days, 95% fewer false security alerts, and measurable drops in workers' comp claims (averaging $47,316 per incident). We provide a detailed ROI dashboard so you can present hard numbers to leadership, not just promises. The pilot is zero-commitment: if the data doesn't make the case, you walk away with no cost.

Covering one guard post 24 hours a day takes 8,760 hours a year. At the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics median wage for security guards ($18.29 an hour, May 2025), that is about $160,000 a year in wages alone, before overtime, benefits or agency fees. ElectricEye starts at $5 per camera per month, so 50 cameras cost about $3,000 a year. ElectricEye does not replace guards; it tells them where to go.

At Sage Valley HOA, where mailboxes were being robbed several times a week, ElectricEye working with Eagle Eye Networks cameras took break-ins to zero: a 100% decrease, with 60+ days without incidents across 7 locations. Guillaume Dumas, IT Assistant Director - Infrastructure, said the neighborhood "has had safe mail delivery for months."

Yes. On existing warehouse cameras, ElectricEye flags forklift and pedestrian near-misses, people in forklift lanes, unsafe driving, and missing hard hats and high-visibility vests, each with a video clip sent to the supervisor. Smaller PPE such as glasses and gloves depends on camera distance and resolution.

All four use AI on existing cameras for workplace safety. ElectricEye also runs after-hours security on the same cameras (loitering, trailer tampering, intrusion, with talk-downs and sirens), needs no on-site hardware because it is fully cloud-based, and publishes a starting price of $5 per camera per month. Based on their public websites as of October 2026, Voxel, Intenseye and Protex AI focus on safety and operations and do not advertise after-hours security.

Far fewer than with motion alerts. Across all ElectricEye deployments from September 29 to October 6, 2026, cameras sent 78,244 events; ElectricEye analyzed 3,208 in depth and escalated 51 as high severity. One two-camera site produced 44,293 events that week and received 1 alert. You choose which severities go to Slack, Microsoft Teams or email.
