Video understanding for developers

Codec builds an SDK to understand video so developers can easily build applications that interface with the real world.

We offer a unified API to search through video, detect events, track objects, and more. To achieve this, we stitch together a lot of SOTA models and FFmpeg incantations in the most efficient way possible and run them on scalable infrastructure. We want to see more things built in the real world, and are trying to make it easy to connect the worlds of bits and atoms through vision. We are currently in private beta.

Is it live?Yes. You can start using it as soon as we give you access.
What's an example use case?Search over CCTV footage, monitor workflows, etc.
Pricing?We'll charge you $0.05 per minute of video processed + $100/mo.
SDK?In addition to our API, we build a set of tools to work with video.
What if my use case isn't supported?Talk to us and we'll make it for you.
