Solink raises more than $100M to pull business data from security cameras with AI

What happened

Solink Corp., a company specializing in video intelligence, raised over $100 million in new funding. Founded in Ottawa in 2009 as a cloud video surveillance provider, Solink now applies artificial intelligence to extract business data from existing security camera footage. Their software targets retailers, restaurants, and warehouse operators who already have cameras installed and transforms video into actionable insights beyond simple security monitoring.

Why it matters

This funding round signals growing investor confidence in AI-powered analytics applied to physical spaces. Solink’s technology turns passive security systems into active business intelligence tools. Instead of just recording footage, cameras can now help operators detect operational inefficiencies, prevent theft, verify compliance, and improve customer service. This could pressure businesses to upgrade from traditional surveillance to intelligent video systems that deliver measurable ROI. For operators, this raises the bar on what surveillance infrastructure should deliver: business insight, not just security.

What to watch next

The next phase for Solink will likely focus on scaling its AI analytics platform across more industries and geographic markets. Watch for integration partnerships that embed Solink’s data streams into broader business intelligence and automation systems. Also monitor competitor responses in the video surveillance space, as more companies attempt to add AI layers that justify shifting spend from legacy video management to data-driven operations. Finally, the impact on privacy and data governance will be crucial as more organizations use AI to analyze visual data at scale.
