Air-gap-capable corrections AI vs a cloud-orchestrated enterprise platform
Vaidio (formerly IronYun, rebranded 2025) is a mature enterprise AI vision platform with 30+ analytics, deployed across smart cities and stadiums at very large scale — built on NVIDIA Metropolis and cloud-managed Fleet Command. Police.Live is purpose-built for facilities, fully on-premise and air-gap capable. Here is an honest, public-source comparison.
If you run smart cities, transit, stadiums, or large campuses and want maximum analytics breadth and forensic search at scale, Vaidio is a strong, proven platform. If you need an air-gap-capable, federal-procurement-ready corrections platform with no NDAA §889-prohibited components, Police.Live is the tighter fit.
Side-by-side, no fluff
Where Police.Live wins
Truly air-gap capable
Police.Live runs entirely on-premise and can operate fully air-gapped; cloud event reporting is optional. Vaidio is multi-deployment with named cloud products and is orchestrated by NVIDIA Fleet Command, a cloud-managed service.
Built for corrections, not retrofitted
Police.Live ships inmate self-harm and cell monitoring and restricted-area enforcement out of the box. Vaidio’s 30+ analytics are excellent for smart cities and stadiums, but it has no dedicated corrections product or named prison deployment.
Federal-procurement posture
Police.Live software contains no NDAA §889-prohibited components and ships with a CJIS compliance roadmap. Vaidio does not publish an NDAA §889 statement.
When Vaidio is the better choice
- You run a smart city, transit network, stadium, or large campus and want the broadest analytics catalog and forensic search.
- You need very large single-platform scale (tens of thousands of cameras) and broad VMS integrations.
- You are comfortable with NVIDIA Fleet Command’s cloud-managed orchestration and do not require air-gapped operation.

Common questions
Is Vaidio the same company as IronYun?
Yes. IronYun rebranded its AI vision platform as Vaidio in 2025. The company is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, and its platform is built on NVIDIA Metropolis and Fleet Command.
Can Vaidio run fully offline / air-gapped like Police.Live?
Vaidio is multi-deployment — on-premise, edge, cloud, and hybrid — with named cloud products and orchestration via NVIDIA Fleet Command, which is itself a cloud-managed service. Police.Live is designed for 100% on-premise operation, including fully air-gapped deployments.
Does Vaidio have a corrections or jail product?
No dedicated one. Vaidio markets to smart city, stadium, transit, and campus use cases; its capabilities can overlap with corrections needs, but it does not offer a purpose-built prison product or publish a named jail deployment. Police.Live is built specifically for stations, jails, and detention centers.
