Our Partner Ecosystem
Coram.ai is a next-generation AI video security platform built by a team with deep roots in the self-driving vehicle industry — bringing the most advanced computer vision and machine perception technology into physical security. Founded in 2022 and backed by Battery Ventures, 8VC, and Mosaic Ventures, Coram has quickly become one of the most innovative platforms in the security space, winning statewide contracts and serving Fortune 500 companies, school districts, and enterprise organizations nationwide.
What makes Coram.ai exceptional is its works-with-any-IP-camera architecture — no expensive hardware replacement required. Organizations layer Coram's cloud intelligence on top of their existing cameras and instantly unlock a full AI capability suite. Setup takes less than 10 minutes, requires no firewall changes or VPN configuration, and includes TLS encryption, SSO, and MFA for enterprise-grade security compliance. Coram is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA certified.
Find footage in seconds using plain English — "red sedan near the south gate" or "person in black hoodie at loading dock." It's ChatGPT built into your video system. No more scrubbing through hours of recordings manually.
Real-time alerts for weapons, firearms, slip-and-fall incidents, loitering, crowd overcrowding, and collision risk — powered by generative AI and large vision models. Create new custom alert types instantly using natural language.
Automatically track any person or vehicle across every camera in your facility. BestShot captures the clearest image of any detected individual — making identity-based searches fast, reliable, and legally defensible.
Add LPR to any IP camera instantly. Search footage by full or partial plate number, create watchlists for vehicles of interest, and automate gate control — all managed from the unified Coram dashboard.
Coram EMS enables panic button alerts, smart surveillance triggers, instant door management, and coordinated emergency response with live video feeds and built-in team chat — one platform for complete incident command.
Store video clips indefinitely with two clicks. Create multi-clip incident reports, collaborate with team members or external agencies, and share evidence securely from any browser or mobile device — no NVR downloads needed.
SMG leverages Coram.ai as our preferred AI video intelligence layer for clients who want to maximize the value of their existing camera infrastructure without a full system replacement. We configure AI alerts to each client's specific risk profile, integrate Coram with Brivo access control for a fully unified security view, and provide ongoing management and optimization across single-site and multi-location deployments.
Beyond its AI software platform, Coram offers a purpose-built line of NDAA-compliant IP security cameras designed to pair perfectly with the Coram AI platform. At 5MP resolution with water and vandal-resistant construction, Coram cameras are engineered for demanding commercial and industrial environments. The best part: cameras are included at no additional cost with a Coram software subscription, backed by a 100% hardware warranty — making enterprise-grade hardware accessible without large upfront capital investment.
Coram cameras pair with the Coram Point — a modern cloud video recorder (CVR) that replaces outdated NVR systems. Coram Point takes under 10 minutes to configure, requires zero firewall or VPN changes, and instantly makes all cameras accessible from any web browser or mobile device from anywhere in the world, with continuous 30–90 day recording and full AI feature support on every model.
An ultra-compact AI powerhouse built for small deployments, satellite locations, and demanding physical environments. Vibration and high-temperature resistant — ideal for industrial settings, vehicles, and remote installations where space and durability are critical.
The ideal solution for single-location deployments. Despite its compact footprint, the CP-S-1 includes a dedicated AI processor supporting the full Coram AI feature suite with zero capability compromise — same AI power as larger models, smaller package.
Built for enterprise-scale operations requiring maximum fault tolerance. Features RAID 5 storage redundancy (zero downtime on single drive failure), redundant network cards, redundant power supplies, and the latest Nvidia AI processors for cutting-edge AI performance across all cameras.
All Coram cameras meet National Defense Authorization Act compliance requirements — critical for government facilities, schools, and any organization with federal procurement standards or sensitive security obligations.
Built for real-world commercial and industrial environments. Rated for outdoor use and engineered to withstand harsh weather, physical tampering, and the kind of demanding conditions found on manufacturing floors, loading docks, and agricultural facilities.
Already have IP cameras installed? Coram Point connects with virtually any existing IP camera infrastructure — so you can keep working hardware, add Coram's own cameras where needed, and build a unified system without unnecessary replacement costs.
For new installations and system expansions, SMG recommends Coram camera hardware as the most cost-effective path to a fully AI-ready system. Since cameras are included with the software subscription, clients receive enterprise-grade hardware, AI intelligence, and cloud management under a single predictable subscription — no surprise hardware bills, no separate vendor relationships. SMG handles everything from camera placement design through Coram Point configuration and commissioning.
Brivo is the pioneer and global leader in cloud-based access control — the company that invented the category before cloud security was mainstream. Founded in 1999 and now serving organizations across every industry, Brivo's platform manages access for millions of users across hundreds of thousands of doors worldwide. With $92M in financing from SECOM in 2023, Brivo continues to invest in platform innovation, AI-driven anomaly detection, and deep third-party integrations.
Brivo's Security Suite is a unified cloud platform bringing together access control, video intelligence, visitor management, and intrusion detection under one roof. Its open API architecture supports hundreds of integrations — from HR systems and elevator controls to smart locks — including a native integration with Coram.ai for unified video and access event monitoring in a single dashboard. One enterprise client consolidated access, video, alarms, and HR into Brivo and saved $1.8 million in a single year.
Manage every door, gate, and entry point across all locations from any device, anywhere. Real-time visibility, automated access management, role-based permissions, and instant lockdown — all cloud-managed with zero on-premise servers required.
Replace keycards and fobs with smartphone-based access. Brivo Mobile Pass lets employees and residents open doors with their phone — nothing to lose or duplicate, with instant credential provisioning and revocation from any administrator device.
Integrated video surveillance paired with access control events in a unified view. Watch access events live, review recorded footage from any site, and leverage AI-based facial and person detection for comprehensive situational awareness across your entire portfolio.
Streamlined guest access with self-check-in, pre-registration, temporary credential issuance, and full audit trails — ideal for corporate lobbies, multifamily properties, and shared workspaces where controlled guest access is mission-critical.
Brivo's AI continuously monitors access patterns across your portfolio — flagging tailgating, after-hours access, credential sharing, and behavioral anomalies that human operators would never detect in real time across large, distributed deployments.
From a few doors at a single site to thousands of access points across a national portfolio — Brivo scales without limits. The Global View map-centric dashboard gives operators a live bird's-eye view of every location with drill-down to individual doors.
Brivo is SMG's primary access control platform for clients who need enterprise-grade access management with cloud flexibility. We design complete Brivo deployments from door hardware selection and mobile credential strategy through native integration with Coram.ai — creating a unified ecosystem where every access event is paired with video context. SMG brings extensive multi-site Brivo deployment experience across commercial, industrial, and agricultural environments.
