Vaidio City revolutionizes urban infrastructure management by embedding advanced Vision AI into existing camera systems. Unlike traditional solutions requiring costly sensor upgrades, this platform delivers smart traffic and pedestrian monitoring without new hardware. It integrates seamlessly with video management systems, traffic software, and public sector data platforms, enabling cities to optimize resources and make data-driven decisions. The platform’s ability to analyze traffic light states across multiple camera angles provides granular insights into traffic patterns, enhancing urban planning and safety.
The platform transforms standard cameras into intelligent sensors capable of tracking vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. By combining accurate counting capabilities with traffic light analysis, Vaidio City supports signal timing optimization and congestion reduction. Real-time visual heatmaps and alerts provide immediate insights into traffic density and critical events, enabling swift responses. Cities like Dubuque, Iowa, have leveraged these tools to reduce travel times and vehicle emissions while improving safety.
Vaidio City excels in real-time incident detection, identifying crashes, red-light violations, and jaywalking instantly. Its license plate recognition and forensic search capabilities streamline vehicle tracking and investigations. For instance, Dubuque’s deployment identified a wrong-way driver, enabling rapid police intervention. These features ensure cities can respond proactively to safety threats, minimizing risks and enhancing public security.
By leveraging existing infrastructure, Vaidio City reduces operational costs by up to 75%. The platform’s partnership with Milestone Systems in Dubuque demonstrates its cost-effectiveness, utilizing over 1,300 cameras to deliver actionable insights without manual analysis. “If we can improve traffic flow even by a minute or two on one of our main corridors, that adds up to a lot of time saved for citizens,” said Dave Ness, Traffic Engineer for the City of Dubuque. This approach maximizes taxpayer dollars and supports sustainable urban development.
Vaidio’s collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Milestone Systems underscores its commitment to smarter cities. “HPE, Vaidio and public CIOs across the country share a vision of creating smarter, safer, and more sustainable cities through the power of AI,” said Robin Braun, vice president for AI business development, Hybrid Cloud at HPE. These partnerships empower cities to harness AI for improved efficiency and quality of life.
Vaidio City sets a new standard for urban management, delivering actionable insights for traffic optimization and public safety. By unlocking the potential of existing cameras, it creates safer, smarter, and more efficient cities, aligning with Vaidio’s mission to advance real-time video analytics.
Vaidio transforms conventional video into a vital source of intelligence in applications spanning real-time monitoring and alerting, video search, and business intelligence. Vaidio’s uniquely resource-efficient solution is used widely to enhance public safety, protect assets, plan investments, and optimize operations—all with significantly lower total cost of ownership. Previously known as IronYun, the company is recognized by IDC as a 'Major Player' in video analytics. The Vaidio Platform won SIA New Product Showcase awards in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023 for Mobile Applications, Commercial Monitoring, Video Analytics, Loss Prevention and in 2024 and 2025 for Best New Product Overall. Vaidio is field-proven to maximize accuracy, performance and cost effectiveness across the industry's broadest array of analytics functions. The Vaidio Platform is deployed across cameras for government, healthcare, education, retail, transit, and enterprise customers worldwide. Vaidio is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, USA.
