Comcast Smart Solutions announced expanded strategic relationships with Eagle Eye Networks, a global leader in cloud video surveillance with AI and analytics, and C2RO, a leader in Privacy-Aware AI-powered video analytics software, to provide customers with a new, broader set of AI video analytics solutions.
This collaboration expands Comcast Smart Solutions’ existing Video Analytics expertise while giving clients more flexibility to choose the right smart video solution.

Our goal is to provide broader access to video analytics and AI-powered technologies that can deliver the data, insights, and real-time alerts they need. This includes everything from consumer journeys and inventory shrinkage to traffic patterns and license plate reading—and that’s just the start.”
Comcast Business and Xfinity Communities customers – including municipalities, commercial and residential properties, retailers, fast-casual and quick-service restaurants (QSR), and more – can now leverage AI video analytics tools and cloud-based platforms from Eagle Eye Networks and C2RO. These technologies transform video footage into data-driven insights that can help businesses, retailers, and communities enhance security, optimize operations, improve service quality, and mitigate IT costs.
