OneVid Lake

Video goes in. Memory comes out.

OneVid Lake watches every stream once and compiles what happened into a verified memory. The footage is retired only after the memory is proven to answer as the footage would.

A camera writes 21.6 GB a day. Most of it is never watched.

Illustration. Recall, invented answers and footage kept are the figures from our certified run on MEVA, a public multi-camera benchmark (28 Sep 2026). The training step shows the workflow; we have not yet measured label quality for robot training.

Video is stored, not remembered.

21.6 GB

written by one 1080p camera every day. A hundred cameras write 2 TB, kept just in case and almost never watched.

With today's video AI, every hour you keep costs four things that grow with the archive.

Storage

The archive grows every day, whether anyone looks at it or not.

Inference

Every investigation, model and agent pays to watch the same hours again.

Context

One hour of video is up to 4.3 million tokens. No model holds a day in one call.

Time

A model works through every hour in scope before it answers, and the answer still can't be audited.

Your footage gets watched once. After that, you ask the memory.

  1. 01

    Compile, don't store

    AI watches each stream once at ingest and writes down events, entities and observations, each linked to its keyframe, crop or clip.

  2. 02

    Answer from memory

    Chat, API, alerts and AI agents get answers from those records with citations. No vision model runs at question time. A missing detail is looked up once and written back.

  3. 03

    Verify before forgetting

    An independent verifier proves the memory alone still answers what the footage would, then signs a certificate. Only then is footage retired. Unsure means keep.

One memory for every camera, and every agent.

OneVid Lake follows people and vehicles across your cameras into a single record of what happened. Your robots, apps, analysts and models all read that one memory instead of re-watching video.

Illustration of a single site. Names, times and cameras are examples.

Built to be trusted with your footage.

Pay for perception once

Everyone else pays again on every question.

Cited answers, or "not observed"

Every answer links to the evidence. When nothing matches, it says so instead of guessing.

Certified deletion

Turns GDPR's "no longer necessary" into a feature, with a signed record of what was kept.

One GPU box

Runs on your premises or air-gapped. No footage leaves the site.

Certified run on MEVA, a public multi-camera benchmark, 28 Sep 2026; 8,442 automated tests pass. Ingest costs $0.50 to $1.00 per video-hour, paid once. Comparison prices are public list prices of Gemini, GPT, Claude and Twelve Labs, read 19 Oct 2026. Per-question cost and answer time are design targets until the head-to-head benchmark measures them.

For any organisation with cameras that is about to have AI agents.

VLM and robotics training

Evidence-linked events and clips become labelled training data, without re-watching archives.

AI agent and robotics platforms

A shared memory of the physical world, queried instead of replayed.

Critical infrastructure and site security

Evidence chains that survive deletion.

Defense and public safety

Mission video that never leaves the site, with custody and certified deletion.

Logistics and warehousing

Arrivals, dwell time, claims settled in minutes.

Smart cities and transport

Flows across hundreds of cameras, where storage is the main cost.

Construction and industrial inspection

Safety events, and what changed since last month.

Media and video archives

Decades of footage, searchable as facts.

We're looking for the first sites and partners.
