Actuate, a leading provider of AI-powered video analytics solutions, announced a strategic partnership with WSD permanent security GmbH, a well-established German security services provider with decades of experience in guarding, remote monitoring, alarm response, and integrated security solutions.

This collaboration combines Actuate’s cutting-edge AI video analytics technology with WSD permanent security’s deep security operations expertise and broad regional presence, creating a powerful service offering that enables businesses across Germany to leverage intelligent, cloud-based surveillance without costly hardware upgrades.

Why This Partnership Matters

• Seamless integration of AI with traditional security services. Actuate’s software transforms any existing security camera into a “smart camera” capable of real-time threat detection, including intruder detection, gun detection, slip & fall, loitering, left objects, and more. 
• Enhanced security for WSD permanent security’s clients across diverse sectors. WSD permanent security’s broad service portfolio, including facilities protection, remote video monitoring, alarm response, and guarding, now combined with Actuate’s AI-based analytics, will enable clients to respond faster, reduce false alarms, and improve overall safety outcomes. 
• Scalable, cost-effective deployment. Because Actuate’s technology works with existing camera infrastructure and is cloud-based, WSD permanent security’s clients benefit from advanced detection capabilities without significant capital investment in new hardware. 
• Enhancing combined capabilities for the European security ecosystem. Actuate’s AI platform, paired with WSD permanent security’s established operational expertise, strengthens both companies’ ability to support complex, large-scale security deployments throughout Germany and beyond.

“Our vision at Actuate has always been to make security smarter, faster, and more accessible. By teaming up with WSD permanent security, a leader in German security services, we are excited to transform how businesses in Germany protect people and assets,” said Tolga Ermis, Head of Sales & Growth, Europe at Actuate.

With Actuate’s AI-powered analytics, we can now offer advanced, proactive security at scale,” said Mirko Jeschonek, Chief Technology & Information Officer (CTIO) at WSD permanent security.
