Probably not. In fact, most customers end up saving money compared to traditional security setups — once you factor in hardware, maintenance, and labor. Plus, there's no upfront capital cost and no long-term contracts. Let's crunch the numbers:

Option 1: Traditional NVR Setup
Hardware upfront: $700 + tax
SD card replacements, firmware updates, manual checks: $500/quarter = $2,000/year
10-year cost: $700 + ($2,000 × 10) = $20,700

Option 2: Human Security Guard
$17 per hour × 8 hrs a day × 5 days a week = $680 a week
With benefits, downtime, and HR overhead: ~$60,000/year

Option 3: ArcadianAI + Ranger (Cloud-Native AI Security Guard)
$99/month = $1,188/year
10-year cost: $11,880
