What makes VOLT different from other AI security camera systems?

VOLT helps schools notice everyday moments like falls, fights and after-hours access, tracks them on a live 3D floor plan, and covers visible weapons too. By default, a VOLT reviewer checks alerts before your team is notified. It works with most IP cameras you already have.

What types of incidents can VOLT detect beyond weapons?

VOLT notices falls and people in distress, fights, loitering, after-hours access and perimeter activity, alongside visible weapons.

Does VOLT require significant hardware investment?

No. VOLT is designed to work with most IP cameras you already have, with cloud or on-premises deployment options.

Is VOLT pricing transparent?

VOLT is priced per connected camera stream. See volt.ai/pricing.

What is the best AI security camera software for K-12 schools?

Look for software built for schools that notices everyday moments first, works with existing cameras, avoids facial recognition and has a person review alerts. VOLT was designed for K-12 with those priorities.

What is the best AI security camera software for universities and colleges?

Universities need software that scales across many buildings, works with existing cameras and respects privacy. VOLT is used at institutions including the University of Illinois Chicago, Maryville University and UC Law San Francisco.

Does VOLT use facial recognition?

No, VOLT does not use facial recognition technology. The system tracks behaviors, clothing descriptions, and movement patterns rather than biometric data. This privacy-first approach addresses state regulations like Illinois privacy laws and has helped schools gain acceptance from parents, faculty, and the broader community. VOLT monitors activities in public spaces where cameras already exist without changing privacy expectations.

How long does it take to implement VOLT?

Most campuses go live within weeks, because VOLT runs on the cameras they already have.

What schools are using VOLT?

VOLT is used by K-12 schools and universities including Prescott High School (Arizona), Robinson Independent School District (Texas), Aspen Academy (Colorado), Indian Creek School (Maryland), the University of Illinois Chicago, Maryville University and UC Law San Francisco.

What Makes VOLT Different?

VOLT was designed specifically for schools and campuses, not adapted from general-purpose enterprise software.

Comprehensive Detection

VOLT helps your team notice everyday moments, like a fall, a fight starting or someone in a building after hours, and tracks them live on a 3D floor plan. Visible weapons are covered too, all in one platform.

Works With Your Existing Cameras

Unlike hardware-dependent solutions, VOLT integrates with your current camera infrastructure, eliminating costly replacements.

Privacy-First Approach

VOLT does not use facial recognition technology, addressing privacy concerns that matter in educational environments.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership

Software-only deployment means no expensive hardware investments or infrastructure overhauls.

Hear it from our customers

Prescott High School

"This is the first time where I really have been able to be out ahead of things that are happening. I'm not just using my cameras for investigation, I'm using them for immediate action and response which is pretty special."

Adam Neely, Principal

University of Chicago, Illinois

“Volt does what no one else is doing. The company, and the software, take security to a level far above what any other tool on the market provides.”

Demetrius Anderson, Technical and Intelligence Officer

Aspen Academy

"Hiring the equivalent of one full-time security employee to attempt to do even a fraction of what VOLT can, costs more than the Volt system. So when you think of it that way, it is a massive cost savings."

Lynda Sailor, Chief Financial & Operating Officer

Why Education Institutions Choose VOLT

Schools and universities have safety needs of their own. Most days the moments that matter are a fall, a fight or someone in a building after hours, and weapons are a rare but serious part of the picture.

Comprehensive Detection in One Platform

VOLT provides multiple detection capabilities within a single integrated system. Schools no longer need to piece together separate solutions for different security needs.

Detection Capabilities:

Falls and distress: Alerts when someone falls or appears in distress
Fights: Recognizes physical altercations as they begin
After-hours access: Monitors restricted areas and after-hours activity
Loitering: Notices lingering in sensitive locations
Visible weapons: Notices firearms and other weapons in view

Privacy-First Design

VOLT was built with educational privacy requirements in mind. The system does not use facial recognition technology, addressing concerns from parents, faculty, and privacy regulations.

The platform tracks behaviors and clothing descriptions rather than individual identities. This approach provides effective security monitoring while respecting the privacy expectations of school communities.

Cost-Effective Implementation

VOLT works with existing IP cameras, eliminating the need for expensive hardware replacements. Schools can transform their current security infrastructure without capital-intensive upgrades.

The software-only approach means faster deployment, lower upfront costs and predictable ongoing expenses. Many schools find that VOLT costs less than hiring one additional security staff member.

3D Facility Mapping

Security teams can track individuals across multiple camera views and understand exactly where incidents occur.

When an alert comes in, your team sees where it is on the floor plan and can follow movement through the facility as it happens.

Reviewed Alerts

By default, a VOLT reviewer at the Security Operations Center checks alerts before your team is notified. Having a person in the loop cuts alert noise, so your team acts on what matters.

Getting Started

VOLT runs on the cameras you already have, so most campuses go live in weeks with minimal changes to their infrastructure.

Pricing

VOLT is priced per connected camera stream, per month. See pricing.

How to Decide: Making the Right Choice for Your Campus

Selecting a security solution requires matching capabilities to your actual needs. Consider these questions when evaluating options:

Detection Requirements:

Do you need help with everyday moments like falls and fights, or only with weapons?
How important is detecting fights, unauthorized access, and loitering in your environment?

Infrastructure Considerations:

Can you use your existing cameras, or is hardware replacement acceptable?
What is your realistic timeline for deployment?

Privacy Requirements:

Does your community have concerns about facial recognition technology?
What privacy regulations apply to your institution?

Budget Realities:

What is your total cost tolerance, including hardware and ongoing licensing?
How does the solution compare to the cost of additional security personnel?
