Prism Skylabs

Prism Skylabs was a cloud-based visual monitoring and video analytics company that turned surveillance and IP-camera feeds from physical retail and commercial spaces into searchable, time-lapse imagery and business intelligence. Backed by a16z and Draper Nexus, it was acquired by Cisco in 2016 and folded into the Cisco Meraki smart-camera (MV) computer-vision line; the standalone company is defunct. The prismskylabs.com domain now 301-redirects to prism.com, an unrelated domain-licensing/holding page, and no live Prism Skylabs developer portal, API documentation, or API specifications exist to enrich. This profile is retained as an a16z portfolio identity record.

Prism Skylabs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Computer Vision, Video Analytics, Physical Security, and Retail Analytics.
