Own the on-device video pipeline, from RTSP camera ingest to delivery for on-device perception, local recording, and low-latency WebRTC live viewing in our apps, and make it hold up on real cameras and home networks (reconnects, late-joiner keyframes, timestamp drift, and consumer isolation). Incubated by the serial entrepreneur Kevin Hartz and Atomic, Sauron has raised an $18M seed round from leading venture capital firms and angel investors, including 8VC and Flock Safety CEO Garret Langley, to build the new perception system for the home.
