Nauti's Take
For a small team, the first test is the escalation logic: Which events actually trigger human intervention, how fast do agents respond, and how often are harmless visitors flagged? Before subscribing, verify retention periods, facial-recognition settings, opt-out controls, and regional availability, because the recurring fee and remote human access define the real trade-off.
