What is the difference between a security project and a quotation?
A quotation says what the material costs; a project says what has to be protected, from what, where each element goes and why there. The document almost everyone who calls us has received before is two sides of paper: a list of materials with quantities, a price at the end and a page of logos. From that paper you cannot know what is visible from that camera at eleven at night, or who receives the alert at four in the morning, or what carries on working when the power goes.
The difference does not show on commissioning day, and that is what makes it expensive. Everything works: the images arrive, the doors open, the alarm sounds when it is tested. A gap does not throw an error. It shows two years later, when somebody's face has to be pulled out of a recording and it turns out that camera was never good enough for that.
You recognise a project by the fact that it can be argued over before anything is bought. If a document does not let you disagree with a specific decision —this height, this field of view, this backup time—, then there are no decisions inside it.

See it working.
A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
