# EdgeTrace

> EdgeTrace is an AI video intelligence platform for public safety. It unifies an agency's existing camera network into one searchable system: describe what you are looking for in plain language, find it across every feed in seconds, and export court-ready evidence with chain-of-custody intact. Deployed fully on-premise; footage never leaves the agency's network. Deployed with the City of Pleasanton and the Pleasanton Police Department in California.

## Solutions

- [Vantage VMS](https://www.edgetrace.ai/solutions/vantage-vms): On-premise video management system with natural-language search, license plate recognition, real-time watchlists, court-ready investigations, and ONVIF/RTSP camera auto-discovery. Works with existing cameras; no proprietary hardware required.
- [Solutions overview](https://www.edgetrace.ai/solutions): How EdgeTrace deploys across real-time operations, investigations, and evidence workflows.
- [Compare VMS approaches](https://www.edgetrace.ai/compare): How AI-native VMS differs from legacy video management and cloud-bundled camera platforms.

## Industries
