WaterView

What WaterView does

WaterView is a private Italian visual AI company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Turin, classified as a PMI innovativa (innovative SME). The company transforms existing surveillance camera networks into intelligent sensors, applying edge-native computer vision and deep learning to deliver real-time environmental, infrastructure, and safety analytics without requiring cloud connectivity or hardware replacement. Its proprietary DECK platform provides a universal camera grabber (RTSP/ONVIF/Genicam), native GDPR-compliant anonymization, load balancing, and integration with major VMS systems (Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center) and IoT protocols (MQTT, Kafka). On top of DECK, four specialized product suites address distinct verticals: CliCK for weather and environmental monitoring (flood, snow, visibility, smoke, present weather), TraCK for road asset management (pavement defects, traffic signs, vegetation, with an edge AI hardware kit using NVIDIA Orin), ShoCK for workplace safety (liquid leaks, tank levels, indoor fire/smoke), and CheCK for CCTV image quality assurance.

The company serves Italian critical infrastructure operators including ANAS (state roads), Terna (electricity transmission), Autostrade per l'Italia (highways), and INWIT (telecom towers), and pursues international growth through the Axis Communications Technology Integration Partnership and trade show presence across Europe and the Middle East. Revenue is generated through software subscriptions and licenses for the four product suites, professional services for custom application development and integration (DevOps/MLOps-based), and hardware sales via the TraCK kit. Distribution is sales-led via direct enterprise engagement, complemented by the Axis channel, technology partners (NVIDIA, Milestone, AWS, Eurotech), and the Lutech system integrator. Cumulative disclosed funding is approximately $1.8M across four rounds through 2019, headcount is 11–50, and the company is led by co-founders Paola Allamano (CEO), Paolo Cavagnero (CMO), and Alberto Croci (CRO) alongside a COO, CSO, and CTO.

Revenue model

1. Software Licenses and Subscriptions: WaterView generates revenue through software licenses for its visual AI analytics suites (CliCK, TraCK, CheCK, ShoCK). Analytics can be installed on edge AI devices, remote servers, or onboard Axis cameras, suggesting a subscription or license-based model.
2. Professional Services and Custom Development: WaterView offers consulting services including use case analysis, architecture design, custom application development, workflow integration, testing, commissioning, and continuous development using DevOps and MLOps approaches, plus software maintenance. This represents a professional services revenue stream for custom B2B and B2G projects.
3. Hardware Kits (TraCK): TraCK includes hardware components (edge AI server with NVIDIA Orin, storage, UPS, metal casing with IP55 rating) that are sold as part of the road monitoring solution, suggesting hardware sales as a supplementary revenue stream.

Core offering

WaterView develops and licenses edge-native visual AI software suites—CliCK, TraCK, ShoCK, and CheCK—powered by its proprietary DECK platform. These suites analyze video streams from existing surveillance cameras in real time to deliver weather/environmental intelligence, road asset monitoring, workplace safety, and CCTV health diagnostics for enterprise and government customers. The software runs on edge AI units, servers, or virtual machines, supports universal camera interfaces, and integrates with major VMS systems.

Product overview

WaterView is an Italian visual AI company founded in 2015 offering a modular platform-plus-products architecture. The core DECK platform provides edge AI capabilities, universal camera interfaces, and data exchange protocols. Built on this platform are four product suites: CliCK for weather/environmental monitoring, TraCK for road asset management, ShoCK for workplace safety, and CheCK for CCTV quality monitoring. These modular solutions share common infrastructure (MQTT/Kafka data exchange, edge processing, privacy-compliant anonymization) while addressing distinct market verticals including transport, smart cities, industrial safety, and infrastructure monitoring.
