SecuriThings pricing: what to know before you buy

A fraction of the cost. All the control.

SecuriThings pricing is quote based: per device, a core product plus paid add-ons. What to ask, which costs sit off the quote, and how MentatNOC compares.

2026-08-25

SecuriThings does not publish prices. Its pricing page describes quotes based on the number of devices, built from a core visibility product with paid add-ons for operational management, cyber protection, and enterprise extension. That is the usual quote shape for physical security management software: a visibility core, then paid layers for the work you actually came to do. To budget accurately you need a sales conversation, and this page is about walking into that conversation, and the equivalent one with MentatNOC, knowing which questions produce a comparable number.

One disclosure up front: MentatNOC does not publish prices either, and this page is on MentatNOC’s site. Everything below about SecuriThings comes from its own published pages and integration documentation. Everything that cannot be known from published material is framed as a question to ask, not a fact.

How a SecuriThings quote is structured

The published structure is modular. A core product provides visibility, and the operational capabilities, the ones that act on devices rather than watch them, are priced as add-ons stacked on the core. The per-device rate depends on the conversation.

Modular pricing is not a criticism. It lets a buyer start small. It does mean the headline number and the number for the platform you actually intend to run can be far apart, so the questions that matter are:

  1. Which add-ons are required for firmware updates, credential rotation, and certificate management, since those are usually why a camera owner is shopping.
  2. What the all-in per-device rate is with every add-on you need, not the core alone.
  3. What happens to the rate at your device count next year, and at renewal.
  4. Whether onboarding or professional services are quoted separately.

The costs that sit off the quote

SecuriThings’ published integration documentation describes a Horizon Connector component that runs on a virtual machine inside your network, with reachability to the video management system, the cameras, and the Horizon cloud service. That VM does not appear on the vendor quote because it is yours: your team provides the compute, licenses and patches the operating system, backs it up, monitors it, and migrates it at every host refresh for the life of the deployment.

None of that is exotic work for an enterprise IT team, and none of it is free. When you build the comparison spreadsheet, give the VM a line: the infrastructure it sits on, and the fraction of an engineer who owns it. Then ask each vendor the same closing question, MentatNOC included: what will my team run, patch, and maintain to keep this platform working.

Two quote structures compared. The modular per-device structure stacks a core visibility product, an operational management add-on, and a cyber protection add-on, plus a virtual machine the customer team runs that sits off the quote entirely. The per camera per month structure is three tiers, Monitor, Manage which includes Monitor, and Enterprise which includes Manage, where one rate at one tier is the whole quote. what a quote is built from modular, per device core visibility product add-on: operational management add-on: cyber protection the VM your team runs, off quote per camera per month Monitor Manage, includes Monitor Enterprise, includes Manage one rate at one tier is the quote compare full stacks: every line item, plus everything you will run yourself
Structure is comparable even when numbers are private. Count the line items, then count the infrastructure each quote assumes you provide.

The cheaper than SecuriThings question

People search for cheaper than SecuriThings, so here is MentatNOC’s answer, stated plainly since neither company publishes numbers: for a camera fleet, MentatNOC comes in at a fraction of the cost. That is a vendor claim on a vendor site, and you should not take it on faith. It is also cheap to test. Both companies quote for free, so get both quotes for the same fleet at the capability level you actually need, add what you would run yourself in each case, and compare totals.

The structural reasons the claim holds are visible without any numbers. There is no add-on stack, since each MentatNOC tier includes everything below it. There is no VM on your network, so nothing joins your patch schedule or refresh budget. And the platform covers three camera vendors deeply instead of every device type broadly, which is a narrower engineering bill that a narrower price can carry.

How MentatNOC pricing works

MentatNOC is priced per camera per month, bought direct, across three tiers: Monitor watches the fleet, Manage runs it, and Enterprise proves it for audits. Each tier includes the one below, and a 24/7 human NOC service is available as an attach on any tier. The tier breakdown, feature by feature, is on the pricing page, and a live platform demo is the fastest way to see what a given tier actually does before asking for the quote.

Already have an integrator? Keep them. MentatNOC works with integrators and fits around how yours already runs your fleet, and looping them in early usually makes the rollout conversation shorter.

Getting to a real comparison

Quote-based pricing on both sides means the only honest comparison is the one you assemble yourself. Ask each vendor for the all-in rate at the capability level you need, at your camera count, with onboarding included. Add the standing cost of anything the deployment asks your team to run. Then divide by camera and by month so the two numbers share a unit. An afternoon of diligence settles what no vendor page, this one included, can settle for you.
