Building local-first AI security for existing cameras — looking for U.S. pilot partners
Hey everyone, My co-founders and I are building Nexovia Security Solutions .
We know AI security products already exist. The problem we saw is that a lot of them are built like enterprise systems: replace your cameras, pay per camera, pay licensing fees, rely heavily on cloud processing, and keep paying more as you scale.
We are trying to build the opposite. Nexovia Hive is a local-first AI security box that connects to the cameras a business already owns and turns them into a unified AI guard. The goal is to help businesses detect important events, send alerts, score risk, and generate incident summaries without forcing them to rip out their current camera setup.
Our current direction:
Local processing first, not cloud-dependent
Works with existing IP cameras
No per-camera licensing fees
No forced camera replacement
One box for multiple cameras
Real-time alerts and incident summaries
Built for small businesses, not just enterprise buyers
For pricing, we are currently at:
Around $1,000 to convert up to 4 cameras
Around $1,900 to convert up to 8 cameras
The point is not to lock businesses into another expensive monthly camera ecosystem. We want to make AI security more accessible for local businesses that already invested in cameras but still do not have anyone watching them 24/7.
Use cases we are testing:
Retail theft detection
Fall detection for care facilities
After-hours intrusion alerts
Construction site monitoring
Warehouse monitoring
Daily incident summaries and activity reports
We recently finished a startup program at SJSU and are now looking for U.S.-based businesses that already have cameras and would be open to piloting Nexovia.
Ideal pilot partners:
Retail stores
Auto shops / garages
Warehouses
Construction sites
Assisted living or care facilities
Any small business with cameras but no 24/7 monitoring
We are not pretending this is a finished enterprise product yet. We are looking for honest pilot feedback from real businesses: what alerts matter, what does not, what owners would actually pay for, and what would make this useful day to day.
If you own or operate a business with existing cameras and want to test a more affordable AI security layer, I’d love to connect. Also open to feedback from founders who have built B2B hardware/software products, sold into SMBs, or run early pilots.
