On the security side, KamiCloud offers enhanced smart security notifications and cloud video storage accessible anytime via subscription. Kami Pro Security provides an affordable, renter-friendly smart camera alarm system with 24/7 professional monitoring that's easy to self-install. Beyond their consumer and care products, Kami Vision licenses their Vision AI algorithms to enterprise partners, enabling custom use cases around object and action detection through cameras. The technology is purpose-built for accuracy in home and care environments, making it suitable for healthcare operators, families caring for aging relatives, and property managers seeking intelligent security. Kami Vision is ideal for senior living operators, home caregivers, and businesses looking for scalable, AI-driven safety monitoring.
