Coram AI

AI-powered video surveillance with natural-language search

Overview

Coram AI provides an AI-powered video surveillance platform that works with existing IP cameras, delivering real-time alerts for events such as firearm detection, vehicle and people detection, and unauthorized access. It operates as a cloud-based subscription service, with an optional on-premises NVR appliance called Coram Point for local processing. The system uses natural language search to let users find specific incidents quickly by querying footage in plain language. Unlike specialized, camera-only solutions, Coram AI is hardware-agnostic and can be deployed across multiple sectors (education, healthcare, manufacturing, public safety) without a full hardware overhaul, and it combines cloud and on-prem options to fit different security needs. Its goal is to turn standard security cameras into proactive, intelligent systems that improve security and business operations by identifying and reporting complex events efficiently.
