Frequently asked questions

How should I choose between Spot AI and an alternative?

Start with your camera estate: if cameras are already mounted, weigh camera agnostic platforms first, since hardware replacement is usually the largest cost line. Then read the 30 second verdict and at a glance table on the relevant comparison, and ask both vendors for itemized quotes separating software, hardware, installation, and storage.

Does Spot AI work with the cameras I already own?

Yes. Spot AI connects any IP camera that supports ONVIF or RTSP through its Intelligent Video Recorder, and bridges analog fleets through its Hybrid Cloud NVR, so most sites go live in days without replacing hardware.

What does every comparison on this page include?
