Cossilys21

What Cossilys21 does

Cossilys21 operates in the market under the Foxstream brand and is a French specialist in computer-vision-based video analytics for perimeter security and people-flow management. The company develops and manufactures its products entirely in France, covering research, design, manufacturing, assembly, and support, and distributes through an established partner and installer network across multiple geographies including France, Spain, and the United States.

Its product portfolio is organized around three core security offerings — FoxVigi (a configurable server-based analytics platform), FoxIntruder (video analytics embedded directly within cameras), and FoxBox (an all-in-one packaged hardware-plus-software solution) — complemented by a flow-management suite comprising FoxCounter (people counting), FoxQMS (queue management), and FoxCloud (visitor analytics), plus specialized features for license plate recognition and prolonged-presence detection. The underlying technology applies proprietary computer vision and anomaly-detection algorithms to live video streams, enabling object classification (persons, vehicles, sustained presence), real-time alarm transmission to monitoring stations, and long-distance detection over several hundred meters using thermal sensors, with claimed detection reliability above 99% and near-zero false alarms.

The business model is indirect-channel B2B, selling to enterprise security buyers and integrators across transportation, industrial services, retail, automotive, and public-sector verticals through a documented distributor ecosystem, supplemented by digital demand generation via the corporate website, LinkedIn, and email newsletter. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled through a gated documentation and access-request flow. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent entity, or institutional investors.
