# GuardianAI Pricing — Per-Camera Annual Subscription

> Honest, simple pricing for school districts and university security teams. No per-incident fees, no per-alert fees, no surprise upcharges. Typical range: $200–$600 per camera per year.

## How GuardianAI is priced
GuardianAI is sold as a **per-camera annual subscription**. One line item, one renewal date, one budget conversation per year. Pricing scales linearly with camera count — the same model watches a 30-camera elementary school and a 1,500-camera university campus.

Typical pricing falls in the **$200–$600 per camera per year** range. The variance is driven by three knobs:

- **Volume.** A 40-camera K-8 lands at the upper end; a 600-camera university at the lower end. Large-district contracts (5+ buildings) unlock per-camera discounts of 25–40%.
- **Appliance.** A single Jetson Orin Nano (8 GB) handles up to ~50 cameras and is included in the subscription. Larger sites use a server-grade GPU appliance (RTX 4000 Ada or equivalent) — different fixed cost, same per-camera fee.
- **Pilot vs. production.** Pilot programs (≤ 100 cameras, 6 months) are priced as a flat fee that converts into year-1 subscription credit if you move to full deployment.

## What's included in every subscription
- **On-prem GPU appliance.** Pre-imaged, drop-in box. No GPU rental, no cloud GPU bill.
- **Pose-based AI model.** The two-stage pipeline (YOLO11n-Pose + CTR-GCN) and all quarterly retraining updates.
- **Telegram alert delivery** for an unlimited number of staff recipients per school.
- **Web dashboard, incident log, analytics** — same product for every customer; no "enterprise tier" gate.
- **24/7 health monitoring** of every appliance + 4-hour SLA for hardware swap during the school year.
- **Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and DPIA template** on request, plus annual DPIA review for districts with 1,000+ students.

## What's explicitly NOT charged
- No per-incident fees. A school with 0 fights pays the same as a school with 100.
- No per-alert delivery fees. Telegram is free; we don't mark it up.
- No setup fees for buildings ≤ 100 cameras.
- No charge for false-alarm feedback or model retraining.

## Pilot pricing for K-12 districts
We run paid pilots, not free pilots. A standard pilot is **$8,000 for one building of up to 50 cameras for 6 months**, fully credited against year-1 subscription if the district expands. If after 6 months the SROs and admin team don't want to keep it, we pull the appliance and there's no further charge.

## How to get a real quote
A real quote needs three numbers: total camera count, number of buildings, and target start month. Send those to **hello@guardianai.tech** and you'll get a written quote, SOW, and DPA within one business day. For U.S. K-12 districts, we also include a one-page summary your attorney can compare against your existing CCTV vendor's contract.
