Coram AI
by Coram AI
AI physical security platform that adds natural-language video search and alerts to existing IP cameras
Coram AI is a physical security platform that adds AI video search, threat detection, access control and emergency workflows to IP cameras a customer already owns. It is for school districts, healthcare systems, manufacturers and multi-site operators that want modern video analytics without replacing their cameras.
Coram AI is a physical security platform that adds AI video search, detection and alerting to IP cameras a customer already owns. Co-founders Ashesh Jain, who led autonomy at Lyft, and Peter Ondruska, who led AI research at Lyft and later at Toyota's Woven division, apply autonomous-vehicle experience to the installed camera base in schools, warehouses and workplaces. The system pairs an on-site Coram Point appliance, bought outright, with the Coram Cloud dashboard. Spot AI, a competitor reviewing Coram's documentation, reports that it discovers ONVIF cameras automatically and imports RTSP streams in bulk. Operators search footage and write custom alerts in plain English, and receive detections for firearms, falls, PPE violations, tailgating, forced doors and license plates. Deep Investigation agents analyze video, access events and visitor activity across sites and time periods to produce incident reports. The product line now has five parts: Video Security, Access Control, Emergency Management, Guest Management and Video Alarms. Video Alarms launched October 20, 2026 in all 50 US states and Washington, DC. A trained reviewer at an unnamed dispatch partner verifies each trespass detection before contacts are called, and 911 dispatch is opt-in and off by default. In June 2026 Coram raised a $35M Series B co-led by Ansa Capital and Battery Ventures, bringing total funding to $66M, and said revenue had grown fourfold since its Series A. Coram says more than 1,500 organizations in North America use the platform, including 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, Hershey's Ice Cream and World YMCA. G2 showed 4.9 out of 5 from 210 reviews on November 9, 2026, with complaints about software freezes, mobile playback lag and facial recognition false positives.

Key Features
- ✓Natural-language video search
Lets operators find people, vehicles and events by typing plain English, which replaces manual scrubbing through recorded footage.
- ✓Deep Investigation agents
Autonomous agents analyze video, access events and visitor records across sites to compile incident reports, which Coram says cuts hours or weeks to minutes.
- ✓Custom plain-English alerts
Users define new detections across cameras and sites in plain English without waiting for a vendor to train a model.
- ✓Video Alarms
Trained reviewers verify AI trespass detections before calling contacts, with automatic 911 dispatch available as an opt-in setting per alarm.
- ✓Unified access and emergency tools
Connects door access, panic buttons, visitor management and reunification to video events in a single operating dashboard.
- ✓Works with existing IP cameras
Runs through an on-site Coram Point appliance with existing IP cameras, which avoids replacing a working camera estate.
Capabilities
Use Cases
- •School emergency response
A district links panic buttons, firearm detection and reunification tools so staff can trigger response from one system during an incident.
- •Warehouse safety monitoring
A manufacturer detects PPE violations, falls and dock delays on existing cameras and sends alerts to site supervisors.
- •Multi-site incident investigation
A security team asks Deep Investigation agents to trace an event across cameras, doors and visitor logs and produce a report.
- •After-hours trespass alarms
A retailer arms compatible cameras on an overnight schedule so verified trespass events reach designated contacts and, if enabled, 911 dispatch.
Ideal For
Best For
- ✓Multi-site organizations that want AI video search on cameras they already own
- ✓School districts combining video, panic buttons and reunification in one system
- ✓Manufacturers and warehouses monitoring PPE violations, falls and dock delays
- ✓After-hours trespass monitoring with human verification before contacts are called
Not Ideal For
- ✗Buyers with large Milestone or Genetec estates who need deep certified plugins, since RFP.wiki rates integration coverage there as thinner and advises verification
- ✗Organizations that restrict face recognition by policy or local law should scope that feature out before purchase, given reported false positives
- ✗Procurement teams that require published per-camera pricing, because Coram sells by quote on multi-year licenses
