FAQ

💳 Pricing & Billing

Is this going to be more expensive than what I have now?

Probably not. In fact, most customers end up saving money compared to traditional security setups — once you factor in hardware, maintenance, and labor. Plus, there's no upfront capital cost and no long-term contracts. Let's crunch the numbers:

Option 1: Traditional NVR Setup
Hardware upfront: $700 + tax
SD card replacements, firmware updates, manual checks: $500/quarter = $2,000/year
10-year cost: $700 + ($2,000 × 10) = $20,700

Option 2: Human Security Guard
$17 per hour × 8 hrs a day × 5 days a week = $680 a week
With benefits, downtime, and HR overhead: ~$60,000/year

Option 3: ArcadianAI + Ranger (Cloud-Native AI Security Guard)
$99/month = $1,188/year
10-year cost: $11,880
Zero hardware failures. No sick days. 24/7 tireless AI coverage.

We built Ranger to be smarter, faster, and dramatically more cost-effective — without compromising safety. One-month free trial.

Are there hidden costs later?

None. You pay a monthly or annual subscription per camera. No surprise fees, license charges, or forced upgrades.

Can I try before I pay?

Yes. Start with a free trial — no credit card required.

Do I get a discount if I add more cameras or locations?

Absolutely. We offer volume-based pricing and multi-site discounts.

Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?

ArcadianAI is a SaaS platform like Netflix or Youtube (subscription-based). It evolves over time, just like your security needs.

🚧 Setup & Compatibility

Will this work with my existing cameras or do I need to replace them?

 It works with 3,000+ IP camera models. Chances are, you’re already compatible.

What if I use an NVR?

We can ingest streams from your NVR or directly from each camera. Either way, we’ve got you covered.

My internet is unreliable. Does that make this impossible?

Not at all. We offer an optional Edge Bridge device that buffers video locally and uploads intelligently.

 Can I install it myself or do I need a tech support?

Both options work. It's plug-and-play for most setups. But we also partner with local installers if you want help.

How long does installation take?

Most sites are online within 30 minutes. It’s that simple.
