IndoAI

Edge appliance · retrofits any camera · 65+ models · India residency

IndoAI's on-site Edge Box ingests existing camera streams and runs 65+ models — PPE, fire, intrusion, ANPR, footfall and more — locally, with data kept in India and a natural-language advisor that produces an itemised bill of quantities. It's the broadest, most retrofit-friendly of the three, best where you want many analytics on the cameras you already own without a cloud dependency.

Agrex.ai

Edge analytics · manufacturing & QSR focus

Agrex.ai is an Indian edge-analytics vendor that markets hard into manufacturing safety and QSR operations, with strong vertical content. If your need is tightly vertical, it's worth evaluating. Compare its model breadth, retrofit flexibility and data-residency specifics directly against IndoAI for the same site.

ArcisAI

India-made · BIS & STQC certified cameras

ArcisAI leads on BIS and STQC-certified, made-in-India camera hardware — a compelling, compliant answer for government and public-sector tenders that mandate local, certified equipment. Its analytics breadth is more modest than a dedicated multi-model edge platform, so match features to your use cases.

Which should you choose?

Choose IndoAI when you want the widest analytics on existing cameras with data in India — the most common enterprise need. Choose Agrex.ai when a single manufacturing or QSR vertical dominates and its packaging fits. Choose ArcisAI when a tender mandates certified, made-in-India hardware above analytics depth. Many buyers pair certified cameras with an IndoAI edge box to get both.
