What is the Tec-Tel AI camera subscription?

A monthly software subscription that adds AI analytics to the security cameras your business already runs. You get smart detection, real-time alerts, and plain-language footage search without buying a whole new camera system. Tec-Tel handles the install within days of signup.

How much does it cost?

Plans are priced per camera, per month: AI Essentials from $23, AI Professional from $39, and AI Enterprise from $63 on annual billing. Month-to-month rates are $29, $49, and $79. The calculator on this page shows your exact run-rate at your camera count.

Do I need to buy new cameras?

Usually not. The analytics layer runs on most existing IP cameras. If some are too old to support it, the technician flags which ones at setup and you decide whether to replace them. No forced rip-and-replace.

How fast is the install?

Start today and a technician schedules the install within days. Because the AI runs on cameras you already own, most single sites go live the same week.

What if I have more than 20 cameras or multiple sites?

Over 20 cameras or a multi-site rollout is an enterprise install. Book a free consultation and the team scopes one standardized spec and one contract across your locations. Self-serve is built for single sites up to 20 cameras.

Can I cancel or change plans?

Yes. Change tiers or add cameras any time, with no long-term lock-in on self-serve plans. Annual billing locks the discounted rate for the year you prepay.

When does billing start?

Nothing is charged until your install is scheduled and your system goes live. You start the subscription, we confirm the install date, and billing begins when the analytics are running.

Is this different from the enterprise installs on the pricing page?

Yes. This subscription is self-serve software on your existing cameras. The enterprise track on the pricing page covers full $30K to $300K design-build installs with new hardware, cabling, and access control. Many operators start with the subscription and grow into a larger build.

§02 What it detects

Cameras that understand what they are looking at.

The analytics layer turns raw footage into events you can act on. Detections by tier:

→

People and vehicles Person, vehicle, and object detection that knows the difference between a delivery van and a prowler, so alerts mean something.

→

Line crossing and zones Draw a line or a zone and get alerted the moment someone crosses it. Loading docks, restricted rooms, after-hours floors.

→

License plates Read plates at gates, pumps, and lots. Turn a drive-off or an unwanted vehicle into a recoverable record.

→

Loitering and crowds Flag someone lingering where they should not, or a crowd forming where one should not be.

→

Tailgating Catch the second person slipping through a badged door so access control reflects who actually entered.

→

Slip, fall, and PPE Detect falls and missing protective gear for the liability clip and the safety record.

→

Register and POS exceptions Pair voids, refunds, and no-sales to the video so internal shrink stops hiding in normal transactions.

→

Plain-language search Find the moment by describing it. No scrubbing hours of footage to locate one incident.
