About us
The team is dedicated to Surveillance Camera View Wellness.
We are commercializing Artificial Intelligence software we developed for Duke University (top 10 university in the USA)(1).
The software always & automatically verifies that your video evidence is available and of the highest quality, so you can rest assured you will have the video you need after an incident.
Organizations typically assign a person to review the video from each camera to manually identify cameras whose view may be unclear due to blur, block, tilt, glare, or low-light. The cameras can stop recording or not retain enough days of recordings. Hard-drives can fail and their clock could be incorrect. Finding these problems quickly in a large camera system is a challenging, time-consuming, and expensive task at best.
Our AI automates this process, saving time and providing peace of mind. We developed this technology at Duke University for their 2,000 cameras and have since grown to support many clients across different verticals.

has been deployed at Duke University since 2017 across 2,000+ cameras to protect:(1)

  • 16,000 students and 8,700 campus employees
  • 1,400 acres of property and 180 buildings
  • $8.5 billion endowment

Duke CIO, Tracy Futhey, spearheaded development of AI camera wellness verification​ software to

  • Automate that verification happens
  • Easily audit verification quality
  • Uncover silent failures automatically

Duke Chief of Police, John Dailey, and the Duke University Police Department use this AI automated process.

About thename
We named the company after Argus the watchful giant with 100 eyes from Greek Mythology. Argus, with so many eyes, would sleep only a few of the eyes at a time and was therefore a very effective watchman. So too, our software is always and carefully monitoring each of your cameras for any view problems so you can depend on them always being ready and recording useful footage.
The "i" is to indicate that our Argus uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to do its job.
We pronounceas "Argus" and keep the "i" silent.
