What is Argos Systems?
Argos Systems is a Paris-based AI video-analytics company, founded in 2024, that detects theft and intrusion in real time on a business's existing IP cameras. Instead of facial recognition, it analyzes behavior — movement, posture and the interaction between hands and objects — with all processing running on-premises at the edge in under 200ms, GDPR-compliant by design. It offers four detection products: warehouse goods theft, parcel-locker vandalism, cash-register theft and retail shoplifting.
We build intelligence that protects reality.
Argos Systems was founded on a simple premise: physical security hasn't changed in decades, but the threats have.
We believe that the future of safety isn't more cameras—it's smarter ones. We are a team of AI researchers and security veterans dedicated to solving the noise problem in surveillance.
Our mission is to create spaces that are autonomously safe, allowing human operators to focus on response rather than monitoring.
Argos analyzes behavior, not identity. Instead of facial recognition, our neural networks read movement, posture, and the interaction between people and objects — the physics of an incident as it unfolds. This is effective against first-time offenders and GDPR-compliant by design.
Everything runs at the edge. Video is processed locally, on-premises, on your existing IP and RTSP cameras — no cloud dependency, no footage leaving the site, sub-second alerts. Deployment starts with a single pilot site and scales to an entire fleet, without replacing a single camera.
We are based in Paris and deploy across Europe alongside industry operators, hardening our models against real-world requirements sector by sector. Security should be autonomous, private, and provable — that is the standard we build to.
