# Blocao · product overview
|
||||
|
||||
## Pitch
|
||||
|
||||
Blocao is a sovereign edge AI platform for video forensics. Cameras stream to on-site compute (the Cell), where Frigate detects events and an enricher produces embeddings. An operator console at `http://blocao-router.local/` lets investigators query the system in natural language and play back evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration is GitOps. Network is segmented (VLANs + firewall). Multi-site deployments use a hub on EU sovereign infrastructure. Nothing on US clouds.
|
||||
|
||||
## What you get
|
||||
|
||||
- **Operator console** with SYNOPSIS landing view (SCADA-style live diagram), CAMS panel, FRIGATE config, MQTT panel, GITOPS panel, HEALTH panel, FORENSICS query.
|
||||
- **First-boot wizard** for installer (region, site identity, WAN, camera VLAN, hub, operator).
|
||||
- **Camera onboarding** with auto-discovery (DHCP + ARP + ONVIF + RTSP probe), default-credential detection, security checklist, force-password-rotation.
|
||||
- **Frigate integration** with detection events on MQTT.
|
||||
- **Evidence playback** with clip + correlated metadata + pin-to-case.
|
||||
- **Multi-site fleet management** via the hub.
|
||||
|
||||
## Differentiators
|
||||
|
||||
| Vs | Blocao differentiator |

|
||||
## Pricing model (placeholder)
|
||||
|
||||
- Hardware: pass-through cost + integration margin.
|
||||
- Console + edge AI stack: free.
|
||||
- Hub access: per-site monthly subscription (€20-50 range).
|
||||
- Support contract: optional, tiered.
|
||||
- Custom AI models: project-based.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sales motion
|
||||
|
||||
Land via:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pilot install**: 1 router + 1 Cell + ~4 cameras at customer's site. Free first month.
|
||||
2. **30-day eval**: customer uses it on real cameras alongside (or replacing) what they have.
|
||||
3. **Conversion**: hardware + first-year subscription + support starter.
|
||||
|
||||
Expansion via:
|
||||
|
||||
- More cameras/Cells at the same site.
|
||||
- Adding sites (multi-site fleet).
|
||||
- Adding products (transcript forensics).
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
|
||||
In design. Mockups complete for all key views. Sprint backlog ready. First Sprint 0 starts when team is in place.
