Problem
Traditional security camera systems in K‑12 schools and healthcare facilities operate only as passive recorders, providing video after an incident has occurred. This reactive approach limits the ability of staff to intervene quickly, and reliance on cloud processing raises privacy concerns and adds ongoing costs.
Solution
RunScout.ai offers an on‑premise AI platform that converts existing security cameras into proactive safety tools. By processing video locally, the system generates real‑time alerts with concise 10‑second video clips that are instantly delivered to staff for rapid response. Because all analytics run on‑site, no footage leaves the building, ensuring privacy compliance. The solution integrates with current camera infrastructure, eliminating the need for costly hardware replacements, and delivers significant cost savings over traditional cloud‑based video analytics.
