What SURF does

SURF operates as Surfsight, a video telematics product line and brand owned by Lytx, Inc., a US-incorporated corporation. The original SURF entity was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Yoqne`am `illit, Israel, with a headcount of 11-50 employees. Surfsight sells an AI-driven video safety platform that combines the Surfsight AI-Series dash cameras, asset trackers, and the Surfsight Cloud platform for fleet device management, all built on the proprietary MV+AI (Machine Vision + Artificial Intelligence) technology trained on the largest driver behavior dataset of its kind. The product detects risky driving behavior in real time (distracted driving, lane departure, following distance, and other ADAS features), provides in-cab driver alerts, and supports incident reconstruction through live and recorded video.

Surfsight operates as a B2B2B business, distributing its solution exclusively through a global reseller network of telematics service providers, insurance partners, and fleet technology companies that embed Surfsight video safety into their own product portfolios via an open API suite and the Lytx Integration Network. End customers operate across verticals including Construction, Transit, Distribution, Utilities, Field Services, Trucking and Local, and Retail fleets. Pricing is quote-based for resellers with annual billing cadence; no public price list is disclosed.

The revenue model combines hardware sales (dash cams and asset trackers) with recurring cloud/subscription services for device management, video storage, and AI analytics, supplemented by channel-driven partner enablement revenue. Strategic integrations include the Lytx+ co-branded solution with Geotab, the Lytx Vision Platform for custom partner integrations, and an insurance partner program positioning Surfsight as a risk-reduction tool for commercial fleet policyholders. The company is recognized as #1 in Video Telematics by ABI Research (2026) and 2025 Global Company of the Year by Frost & Sullivan.

Direct peers

• VBrick Systems: Enterprise video streaming and communications platform with transcoding and distribution capabilities. Overlaps with SURF on the video communications/streaming infrastructure layer.
• VITEC (a Vitec Group company): Provider of video encoding, decoding, and IPTV/streaming hardware and software for broadcast and enterprise. Comparable to SURF's video/communications infrastructure and codec technology.
• AudioCodes: Israel-based provider of voice, video, and unified communications solutions for enterprises and service providers. Directly comparable as a fellow Israeli vendor of multimedia communications and codec/bridging technology across IP networks.
• Radvision (now part of Avaya): Historical Israeli video conferencing and SIP/multimedia communications vendor, now within Avaya. Overlaps with SURF on video/voice protocol bridging and unified communications infrastructure.
• Vidyo (Enghouse Systems): Video conferencing and embedded video communications platform with codec-aware adaptive video layering. Comparable in providing video communications infrastructure that integrates with broader enterprise platforms.
• Poly (formerly Polycom): Long-standing vendor of voice and video collaboration endpoints and infrastructure. Comparable multimedia communications offering across enterprise networks, including codec-based video systems.

Broad incumbents
