Childcare corridor with CCTV camera
SIMIS.AI investor pitch - NABC v4

Same-day incident packs for childcare CCTV.

Find the clip. Draft the record. Keep children's video inside the centre.

Need

Mandatory CCTV did not solve incident response.

Centres have the footage, but still need a fast, private way to find the moment and prepare a clear answer.

Need

Find the exact moment.

Constraint

Child video stays inside the centre.

Validation

8 B2B interviews narrowed SIMIS to one urgent job.

Not generic monitoring: incident search and timestamped reporting for principals.

8

Interviews

Principals feel the pain. Owners pay for risk control.

1

Wedge

Find, understand, and document the incident.

3

Proof gates

Time saved, paid LOIs, repeatable deployment.

Approach

Use existing CCTV. Add local incident intelligence.

Connect RTSP feeds, process on-prem, surface only the moments principals need.

No rip-out

Works with current cameras.

No cloud habit

Video stays on-site.

Edge AI + existing CCTV

Wedge: connect feeds, surface incidents.

Self-learning incident layer

Loop: corrections reduce false alarms.

Existing CCTV

No rip-and-replace. Connect existing RTSP feeds.

Incident moment + draft follow-up.

Fall risk - review Playroom A · 10:42 AM · clip + draft report ready

Feedback: principal corrects event type.

Moat: site-specific learning reduces noise.

Benefits

Pilot KPI: footage hunt to same-day incident pack.

The pilot should benchmark SIMIS against each centre's manual baseline.

Clip

Event, date, camera, severity.

Record

Timestamped incident summary.

Response

Clearer parent conversation.

Buyer workflow

Win the moment after an incident.

The principal must establish facts while staff, parents, and children are waiting. The owner pays when the workflow reduces escalation risk.

1

Incident happens

Fall, rough handling, unusual crowding, or unexplained crying.

2

AI triages

Existing RTSP camera feed is processed locally on an edge device.

3

Principal reviews

Timestamp, camera, event type, confidence, and matching clips surfaced.

4

Report drafted

Time-stamped notes reduce hearsay and manual admin.

5

Trust protected

Parent communication becomes clearer without livestreaming children.

Competition

The real competitor is manual review.
