Announces $10MM in funding, issuance of Split AI Patent (US 11265591) and industry-first deployment of Apple M1 platform

Dragonfruit has announced Dragonfruit Frontier, a new Cloud VMS with AI Analytics included. Frontier delivers a fully integrated experience, combining consumer-grade usability with enterprise-grade capability.

“Most traditional VMSs haven’t kept pace with AI advances, and only offer bolt-on solutions for video analytics”, said Amit Kumar, Founder and CEO.

“Dragonfruit is the first integrated solution for forward-looking multi-location enterprises, offering everything from video monitoring to advanced AI, all in one package. Finally, the industry can have Silicon Valley smarts without the rip-and-replace demands.”

Frontier is designed for multi-location enterprises that are not able to deploy expensive GPU hardware across all their sites (for On-prem AI), and do not have enough upload bandwidth for Cloud-based AI. Dragonfruit’s patented Split AI (US 11265591) helps scale even advanced AI, like Liquid Spill Detection, to hundreds of such locations while keeping bandwidth requirements low ? even at 4G speeds. Pricing starts at just $1,000/location/year.

Frontier works with existing camera infrastructure and provides monitoring, occupancy management and forensic investigations across all geographies from a single pane of glass. Camera partners include Hanwha, Axis and Bosch, with support also included for any ONVIF camera, RTSP feed or Analog camera (with encoders).
