Pricing

One price. No surprises.

Per-store, not per-camera. Same price whether you have 1 camera or 64. The cost of building real video surveillance doesn't scale with camera count — the cost of running it doesn't either.

Frequently asked

Why per-store, not per-camera?

Because we built the platform once. Adding a 7th camera to your store doesn't cost us 75% more to run than 4 cameras. Per-camera pricing is a margin grab the legacy vendors invented in 2010 and never abandoned. We won't.

What happens to my video if I cancel?

Recordings live on the appliance in your store, not in our cloud. Cancel us and the box keeps recording — it just stops talking to the portal. You can pull recordings off via SMB / USB / RTSP at any time.

Can I use my existing cameras?

Yes, as long as they speak RTSP or ONVIF (>99% of IP cameras do, including Hikvision, Dahua, Amcrest, Reolink, Ubiquiti). We don't lock you to a specific brand.

What about offline / spotty internet?

The appliance records continuously regardless of internet. If the cloud goes away, you keep recording locally; reconnect and the portal syncs up. No frames lost. We test this in the field.

Do you offer NDAA-compliant cameras?

Yes — Axis, Verkada, Avigilon, and select Amcrest models. Tell us your use case (US government contract, hospital, school) and we'll spec a compliant kit.

Can I self-host the cloud portal too?

Enterprise customers can license a self-hosted deployment to run on their own Azure / AWS / on-prem environment. You'll lose our managed-update guarantee, but you own everything end-to-end. Email support@aliumtech.com to discuss.
