Ambient Foundation
Ambient Foundation is an AI-native video management system for security teams managing multiple sites and camera feeds. Ambient Intelligence monitors connected cameras continuously and surfaces relevant activity. Agentic Video Walls watch feeds and present a focus event every 60 seconds. Semantic Search lets operators search cameras and time in plain language for people, vehicles, or moments. Foundation adds video previews, live camera context, and floor-plan context to access events. It works with RTSP-enabled cameras or software and requires access to IP camera streams. Listed access-control integrations include Allegion, Genetec, Avigilon, Lenel S2, C-Cure 9000, Brivo, and Genea; listed camera brands include Axis, Hanwha, Bosch, Honeywell, Pelco, Sony, Teledyne FLIR, and Panasonic. Hybrid cloud and edge deployment provides a browser interface, with Android, iOS, and iPadOS mobile apps. Controls include role-based access, multi-site management, camera health monitoring, live viewing, playback, and evidence export. Ambient says it is SOC 2 Type II certified, encrypts data, and does not use facial recognition or collect personally identifiable video information. Pricing is on request.
