Description
A profitable, founder-owned software and data provider that records, archives and delivers public traffic camera video to personal injury law firms, insurance carriers, transportation operators and accident reconstruction professionals. Public agencies overwrite their camera feeds within days; the business records more than 23,000 cameras across over 30 states as they air and holds the footage in hot storage, so vetted clients can search an incident by location and time, preview it and download it within minutes. The archive cannot be assembled retroactively by any party that was not recording at the time. Revenue comes from an unlimited-search subscription, a managed investigation service, an enterprise API proven at tier-one volume, and a market-exclusivity licence.
Annualized FY2026 revenue is approximately $1.25 million, 94.8% of it subscription and contracted, with Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $403,000 (32.3% margin), delivered by three full-time employees with no sales organization and no funded debt.

Facilities & Assets
The Company operates remotely with no office, no commercial leases and no real estate obligations. Its core asset is a continuously recorded archive of public traffic camera video: more than 5 petabytes and approximately 60 million hours of footage across more than 3.4 million recorded incidents, captured from more than 23,000 active cameras across over 30 states and held in hot storage so every retained file is immediately streamable and downloadable. Infrastructure comprises a distributed network of Linux servers, cloud services with licences transferable on a transaction, and proprietary hardware in a third-party colocation facility. Other transferable assets include proprietary ingestion and normalization technology, a web platform and enterprise API, media agreements with five state Departments of Transportation, and a base of 225 clients. There are no capitalized fixed assets, depreciation or capital expenditure in any period presented.
Support & Training
The founders have structured the business for handover, each defining their availability and the timeline over which their role can be absorbed. The CEO role (partnerships, contract negotiation, development priorities, HR, marketing direction) transfers in about one month and can be absorbed by the COO or an external hire. The COO role (sales, customer service, branding, interface design, bookkeeping, project leadership) transfers in one to two months and can be absorbed by the CEO or an external hire. Platform engineering (network, colocated servers, server and database administration, development) needs three to four months and can over time be absorbed by an existing development contractor or an acquirer’s engineering team. Contracted development and investigation staff, marketing and operations agencies, and law and CPA firms on consulting terms support operations. Normalized replacement management cost is estimated at $216,000 per year.
Market & Competition
Demand rests on a structural evidence gap: state and municipal agencies operate traffic camera networks they do not archive and overwrite feeds within days, so objective video of a vehicle incident is almost never obtainable after the fact. Law firms, insurance carriers and fleet operators must establish liability in the days after an incident and have historically relied on eyewitness accounts. The archive cannot be assembled retroactively: a new entrant can record forward but cannot acquire a single hour of existing footage, and must fund hot storage for years before its archive has retrieval value. The conventional cold-archive approach returns a static screenshot and requires a manual retrieval, while hot storage lets clients stream and download in one session. Media agreements with five state transportation departments and free platform access for more than 100 law enforcement organizations reinforce the position, and the footage comes from long-accepted public road cameras.
Growth Opportunities
Subscriber growth at near-zero marginal cost: hosting scales with cameras recorded, not clients served, so a new subscription converts at roughly 96.7% gross margin; ten more unlimited-subscription clients would add ~$77,600 of revenue and ~$75,000 of gross profit.
AI accident detection: AI prescreening of roadway footage, in final testing, to lower manual screening labor and speed investigations.
Insurance distribution: a signed contract with a leading insurance data and analytics provider lets carriers connect through the existing API without carrier-by-carrier sales.
Enterprise pipeline: discussions across insurance, private security and public-sector investigation (no agreements signed to date).
Licensing and leads: the relaunched market-exclusivity licence and a qualified-leads channel running well below the volume the website generates.
