Dragonfruit AI launches Frontier Cloud VMS with video analytics for multi-location enterprises

Dragonfruit AI, the most advanced AI analytics platform solutions company, has announced the release of Dragonfruit Frontier, a new Cloud VMS with AI analytics included.

Frontier delivers a fully integrated experience, combining consumer-grade usability with enterprise-grade capability. Finally, the industry can have Silicon Valley smarts without the rip-and-replace demands.

Advanced AI analytics platform

“Most traditional VMSs haven’t kept pace with AI advances and only offer bolt-on solutions for video analytics,” said Amit Kumar, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Dragonfruit AI.

Dragonfruit is the first integrated solution for forward-looking multi-location enterprises"

He adds, “Dragonfruit is the first integrated solution for forward-looking multi-location enterprises, offering everything from video monitoring to advanced AI, all in one package.”

Frontier, Cloud VMS with AI analytics

Frontier is designed for multi-location enterprises that can't deploy expensive GPU hardware across all their sites (for on-premise AI), and don't 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 US$ 1,000/location/year.

Works with existing camera infrastructure

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 Techwin, Axis and Bosch, with support also included for any ONVIF camera, RTSP feed or analogue camera (with encoders).

Dragonfruit AI’s industry-renowned installation experience lets users just unbox the Base Station, connect it to Ethernet and Power, and configure remotely from a browser, thereby reducing installation time and cost for large-scale enterprises.

The state-of-the-art Base Station is built on the Apple M1 platform, another industry first, providing the most advanced OS and the most cost effective GPU performance.

The Frontier VMS includes advanced features like video walls, access control integration and true real-time alerts (reducing false alarms by 95%). Integrated analytics, such as the Investigations App provides video search, video summaries, redaction and LPR.

The Occupancy App

The Occupancy App includes counting, heat maps, occupancy and real-time dashboards. Advanced AI capabilities include Liquid Spill detection, Slip & Fall detection, OSHA compliance and Safety Equipment detection.

Base Station hardware, licences for 20 cameras, and storage is included in the price that starts at just US$ 1,000/location/year. All additional analytics are available on-demand, so customers only pay for what they need, when they need it.

Integrating flexible computer vision capabilities

“We’re excited to partner with Dragonfruit – with Frontier, customers benefit from the streamlined integration of a Coud VMS with AI analytics. Integrating flexible computer vision capabilities like slip/fall detection and safety compliance with a video management system fulfills our customers’ need to deploy effective new technology that is easy to use,” said Eric Yunag, Vice President (VP) of Technology & Innovation at Convergint Technologies, one of Dragonfruit's key integrator partners.

Tom Meehan, Chief Strategy & Information Security Officer (CSO / CISO), CONTROLTEK USA, adds “Throughout my career, I have had the chance to work with many innovative organisations and Dragonfruit AI is one that I am most excited about. The only petabyte-scale integrated AI video analytics solution available, Dragonfruit AI brings the next generation of video AI with true computer vision analytics and machine learning for retail.”

Ron Cluff, a Multi-Franchise Owner at The Joint Chiropractic and a happy Frontier user notes, “As a franchise owner with multiple locations, being able to centrally manage the video across all my stores from my phone is critical. Dragonfruit provides me that global visibility, without the expensive price tag.”
