Blogs AI Integration in Surveillance: Upgrading Legacy Systems Artificial intelligence (AI) is redefining the future of surveillance, making systems smarter, faster, and more responsive. From real-time threat detection to reducing false alarms, AI integration offers some transformative advantages. Yet a common misconception persists: that legacy surveillance systems can’t support AI. In reality, many existing installations can…
Blogs The Hidden Costs of False Alarms: Why Virtual Guards Are the Solution The cost of false alarms impacts everyone, from business owners to public safety organizations, particularly those relying on traditional, outdated security systems. Whether caused by faulty motion detectors, aging glass break sensors, or even simple human error, these false activations waste valuable time…
Blogs Weapons Detection Technology: Beyond Guns and Firearms AI-powered weapon detection software is rapidly reshaping the way security teams protect public spaces. With artificial intelligence (AI), modern surveillance systems can detect guns and help stop potential threats. But that’s only part of the solution. Today’s threats are more complex, fast-moving, and diverse. From schools and airports…
Blogs New Police Technology 2025: The Future of Law Enforcement Law enforcement is stepping into a high-tech future, driven by artificial intelligence (AI). In 2025, cutting-edge tools like AI-powered analytics and facial recognition software will continue to transform crime prevention. Real-time data analysis, object detection, and predictive models already save lives by identifying potential risks in…
Blogs AI Surveillance Technology: Going Too Far for Public Safety? Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a concept of science fiction to a cornerstone of modern life. AI surveillance technology—once confined to the pages of dystopian novels—has reshaped public safety protocols. Real-time threat detection, faster incident response, and reduced crime rates are just a few advantages….
Blogs In 2022, nearly 1 in 5 workplace deaths in the United States were tragically linked to the construction industry, with slips, trips, and falls accounting for 38.4% of these fatalities. This stark statistic highlights a critical, often underestimated danger in our places of work. In the UK, during 2022-2023, 32% of non-fatal workplace injuries were…
Blogs Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries across the globe, and the security sector is no exception. As criminal activities grow more complex, AI security solutions have become essential for security teams, enabling them to not only respond but also anticipate and neutralize threats before they occur. This represents a significant shift from traditional security methods.
Blogs In today’s fast-paced world, security isn’t just a concern – it’s a constant challenge. Businesses and property owners need solutions that go beyond mere reaction; they need ones that anticipate threats before they even emerge. Remote guarding, also known as virtual guarding, stands at the forefront of this new era of security, leveraging advanced technology to detect and deter potential criminal activity before it has a chance to unfold.
Case Studies This case study illustrates how Sirix, in partnership with Actuate, is setting new standards in security monitoring, tailored to the specific needs of car dealerships.
Blogs In today’s world and in recent years, ensuring safety in public spaces has become a top priority. Real-time crowd detection is critical for identifying and responding to potential safety threats like gun violence, stampedes, or overcrowding. Actuate’s AI-based crowd detection system is designed to help keep people safe by providing real-time insights into the flow and density of crowds. By using Actuate’s AI-enabled monitoring system, building managers and security personnel can quickly and accurately analyze crowd movements and take immediate action to ensure safety.
Blogs As artificial intelligence continues to advance, there is growing concern over the ethical implications of AI-enabled video surveillance, particularly concerning privacy and bias. A 2019 American Civil Liberties Union report warns that such technology may compromise our civil liberties in dangerous ways. However, ethical considerations do not necessarily have to come at the expense of safety.
Blogs We are now at the forefront of a new age in security technology, specifically in the sphere of mobile video surveillance. Remote surveillance is quietly transforming security, as drastically as the Internet did around 30 years ago. Actuate’s cloud-based AI surveillance software provides cheaper, more effective threat detection than on-premise solutions, saving bandwidth costs and improving security hardware reliability.
