Verifyfaces

About the offering

Verifyfaces is a face matching platform that integrates with existing IP camera and CCTV systems to transform reactive surveillance into proactive security with automated alerts, analytics, and reporting. The company claims to be the world's first face matching platform integrated with 911 services and positions itself as breaking the cost barrier that has historically limited enterprise-grade facial recognition to large government and institutional clients. The company is pre-revenue, with its first commercial deployment through Eagle Eye Networks commencing in February 2026.The ProblemEnterprise-level facial recognition and biometric security has historically required customized network design for each site, large on-site server capacity or cloud operations, and sometimes proprietary cameras. These systems are built and priced for government and institutional clients with extensive ongoing contractual arrangements, making them cost-prohibitive for the majority of small and medium enterprises. The result is an oligopoly where meaningful security technology is inaccessible to most organizations, leaving communities, schools, retail establishments, and smaller institutions without proactive security capabilities.The SolutionVerifyfaces integrates with existing CCTV and IP camera systems, eliminating the need for specialized IT infrastructure and proprietary hardware. The platform transforms reactive camera systems requiring constant human monitoring into proactive solutions with automated email and SMS alerts, analytics, reporting, and integration options. The company claims its edge-based architecture is scalable beyond the limitations of cloud or AI systems, and that the underlying algorithm has been tried and tested in the field for 40+ years. The platform costs up to 80% less than competing solutions. Applications include locating missing persons, enforcing restraining orders, reducing child trafficking, reducing gun violence, and monitoring public safety. The company is the first technology of its kind to be integrated with 911 services.Business ModelVerifyfaces operates a B2B SaaS model sold through an outsourced reseller network.
