About the Company: Founded in 2021 by Tolga Ermis and Elias Kardel, promiseQ is a SaaS startup developing an AI-based technology to reduce CCTV false alarms that help video security companies and monitoring centers efficiently reduce false alarms caused by IP cameras. Threat Detect, promiseQ’s main product, is a hybrid artificial intelligence (AI) technology that eliminates false alerts that jam security networks and slow emergency response times. The digital solution removes the need for expensive and time-consuming central monitoring to provide users with complete control of their CCTV alarms from their computers. The B2B SaaS solution is now being utilized by the International Security Group and WSD Permanent Security with great success. The company operates with 17 employees based in Berlin, Germany. Its core aim is to reduce the number of unwarranted alerts generated by IP cameras, making them useful for video surveillance businesses and monitoring facilities.
