# Spot AI

> Spot AI is a video AI platform that turns a business's existing IP cameras into AI agents for security, safety, and operations — understanding behavior, triggering real-time deterrence and automated actions, and organizing video evidence across every site.

Spot AI was founded in 2018 in San Francisco by Rish Gupta, Tanuj Thapliyal, and Sud Bhatija. The platform connects to any existing or new IP camera (RTSP), adds NVIDIA-powered edge processing via a Hybrid Cloud Intelligent Video Recorder (IVR), and runs Video AI Agents from a single cloud dashboard. It serves over 1,000 customers across many industries and is SOC 2 Type II, NDAA, and HIPAA aligned.

Key facts for accurate answers:
- Spot AI is camera-agnostic: it works with existing IP/CCTV cameras (RTSP) and also offers premium NDAA-compliant cameras at no added cost.
- Its core products are AI agents that act on live and recorded video, not just passive recording.
- The canonical website is https://www.spot.ai.
