Edge appliance
AI Box, Complete Edge System
The appliance is always purchased. You then choose how the analytics are licensed: perpetually with optional maintenance, or by subscription. Camera hardware, network hardware, and installation are not included.
Hardware Pricing
| System | Cameras | Price |
|---|---|---|
| AI Box Mini | up to 3 | $1,890 |
| AI Box Server | up to 25 | $10,900 |
| AI Box Server Pro | 25+ | Request a quote |
Includes the pre-imaged and configured unit, mounting hardware, local dashboard, remote setup session, and a 12-month hardware warranty. Extended warranty for years 2 and 3: $150 per year on the Mini, $870 on the Server. Camera hardware, network hardware, cabling, and installation are not included.
Software License Pricing
| Module | Subscription, per camera per month | Perpetual, per camera | Maintenance, per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safety Guard | $45 | $1,350 | $243 |
| Traffic Monitor | $39 | $1,170 | $211 |
| Retail Counter | $29 | $870 | $157 |
| DOOH Audience Meter | $25 | $750 | $135 |
Subscription is billed annually and includes model updates and support. Perpetual maintenance is 18% of licence value per year, optional, and covers model updates and support. A perpetual licence keeps working without maintenance but stops receiving updates.
Pricing Calculation Example
| Buy the software | Subscribe to the software | |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance | $1,890 | $1,890 |
| Software | $4,050 one time | $135 per month |
| First year | $5,940 | $3,510 |
| Each year after | $729 maintenance, optional | $1,620 |
| Five-year total | $8,856 | $10,470 |
Buying the software becomes cheaper in year five. Subscribing costs less to start and carries no capital commitment on the licences.

Questions
Pricing Questions
Are these prices final?
They are list prices. Volume, multi-site, and multi-year commitments are discounted at ARSA’s discretion. Configuration-dependent items such as air-gapped deployment, custom detection classes, and turnkey implementation are quoted after scoping.
Does the AI Box have a hardware price?
It does. The appliance is always purchased outright, so the price is published: $1,890 for the Mini and $10,900 for the Server. What varies is how the analytics are licensed on top of it, perpetually or by subscription. The appliance price includes the configured unit, mounting hardware, local dashboard, remote setup, and a 12-month warranty.
Which is cheaper over five years, buying the software or subscribing?
Buying the software. A 25-camera Safety Guard deployment on subscription costs $10,900 for the appliance plus $13,500 per year, reaching $78,400 over five years. Buying the licences instead costs $10,900 plus $33,750 once, plus optional maintenance at $6,075 per year, reaching $68,950. The crossover falls in year five. Subscription costs less to start and carries no capital commitment on the licences.
Is support included?
Under subscription, model updates and support are included for the term. Under a perpetual licence they come from the optional annual maintenance at 18% of licence value. A perpetual licence keeps working without maintenance, but it stops receiving model updates and carries no support commitment, which matters more than it sounds: detection accuracy drifts as a site changes.
Hardware warranty is separate from both. Twelve months is included with every appliance, extendable for years two and three.
Can I move from subscription to perpetual later?
Yes, and the appliance never has to be repurchased because you already own it. Subscription payments made in the first twelve months are creditable against a perpetual licence purchase for the same cameras.
How does the Face SDK free demo work?
Run one Docker command. Free for 14 days, limited to 100 enrolled identities and 50 API calls per hour. The demo requires an internet connection to validate its key. The licensed product does not, and runs fully offline.
Why is ARSA Sovereign priced as a system rather than as hardware?
Because it is a system. The price covers the appliance, the hardened operating system, the models, the workflow engine, the ERP connectors, and three years of support and model updates. Pricing the hardware separately would misrepresent what you receive and what we maintain.
Why does Safety Guard cost more than Retail Counter?
Modules are priced by the operational value they carry, not by compute cost. PPE and restricted-zone detection carries regulatory and injury-cost consequences that footfall counting does not, and the market prices those categories differently.
Can I buy the software without the AI Box?
Yes. The self-hosted software runs on any server with Docker and a CUDA-capable GPU. The AI Box exists for sites that do not have that infrastructure or do not want to maintain it.
Do you ship outside Indonesia?
Yes, for every product except the Self-Check Health Kiosk. Prices are international list in USD. Invoicing is available in USD and EUR. Duty, VAT, and customs clearance are the buyer’s responsibility.
Not Sure Which Fits?
A feasibility assessment produces an operational diagnosis, a technical feasibility judgement, and a cost model in two weeks.
