Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about ElectricEye's Active Scene Intelligence™ platform, pricing, integration, and how our AI-powered video security solution can transform your security operations.

What is ElectricEye?

ElectricEye is an AI-powered video surveillance monitoring platform that turns existing IP cameras into proactive, context-aware security guards. It analyzes video events in real time to detect unsafe or suspicious behavior, and trigger deterrents like lights, sirens, and live talk-downs.

Who uses ElectricEye?

ElectricEye is designed for property managers, security integrators, HOAs, construction companies, logistics yards, and enterprises that need proactive video monitoring to reduce theft, liability, and response times.

How is ElectricEye different from traditional video analytics?

Traditional systems detect objects like people or vehicles. ElectricEye uses advanced behavioral analysis to detect behavior and context, such as suspicious loitering, unsafe forklift driving, or unauthorized entry. This makes it more accurate and proactive.

How does ElectricEye work?

ElectricEye uses computer vision to analyze short video clips generated by event triggers (motion, person, or vehicle detection). It immediately analyzes each clip to describe activity, classify severity (High vs Low), and decide whether to notify, deter, or ignore.

What kinds of behaviors can ElectricEye detect?

Examples include intruders in restricted areas, PPE compliance violations, unsafe forklift driving, suspicious loitering, tailgating at gates, and theft attempts at mailboxes, vehicles, or construction sites.

What hardware does ElectricEye require?

No proprietary hardware is needed. ElectricEye works with existing IP cameras and integrates through Eagle Eye Networks (EEN) or direct RTSP streams.

Does ElectricEye integrate with video management systems?

Yes. ElectricEye integrates with Eagle Eye Networks natively and works with other VMS platforms via cloud or RTSP/RTMP streams.

What happens when ElectricEye detects a threat?

ElectricEye can send SMS/email/Slack alerts with video clips, activate deterrents (flashing lights, sirens), or issue live audio talk-downs through IP speakers. All activity is logged and categorized by severity.

Can ElectricEye reduce false alarms?

Yes. By analyzing context, ElectricEye filters out harmless activity, such as residents walking on sidewalks or employees inside fence lines, while escalating genuine threats.

How is ElectricEye priced?

ElectricEye is sold as a subscription service through system integrator partners. Pricing is based on number of cameras and events processed, starting at about $60 per camera per month MSRP.

Does ElectricEye store customer video?

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

How do I get started with ElectricEye?

Book a demo or request a free trial on the electriceye.ai website or contact an ElectricEye reseller today. The system can be deployed at pilot sites (POCs) with up to 4 cameras per site, then scaled to larger deployments.

Why choose ElectricEye over security guards or monitoring centers?

ElectricEye provides 24/7 automated monitoring at a fraction of the cost of guards, with immediate deterrents and context-aware analysis. Monitoring centers can also integrate ElectricEye as a force multiplier.
