curity professionals with technology to actively
check on a remote area multiple times a day to
detect security breaches or other issues. "
Magos Systems provides ground-based radar
systems that detect perimeter breaches. By
combining Magos MASS software and artificial
intelligence, its radars are able to accurately classify
objects and filter out animals, trees and other
items that can cause nuisance alarms.
The company primarily serves utilities, airports,
solar farms, data centers, parking lots, correctional
facilities, stadiums and other facilities
with a large perimeter.
" Magos radars are always part of a larger security
system that are directly connected with the
video surveillance system. As part of the security
ecosystem, we can track and classify targets and
communicate that information for enhanced
alarm management capabilities, " Zussman says.
Magos Systems recently partnered with
Nightingale Security to provide a fully autonomous
radar-activated drone solution.
Nightingale's Blackbird drone is capable of
flying in sustained winds up to 45 mph. It collects
video with both a visual and thermal sensor,
which it can stream to multiple users simultaneously.
The Nightingale solution integrates with
a facility's existing VMS, alarm sensor and alert
systems, the company says.
New Jersey-based LandSkyAI provides automated
land and sky robotics, and it strives to
make user implementation simple. It primarily
serves healthcare and public safety sectors, as well
as events and college and corporate campuses.
Its Land Guard & Sky Guard: Virtual Guarding
package offers customers a patrol and emergency
response solution that is fully automated
via aerial or ground robotics. " One can expect
a system to do preplanned patrols, respond to
third-party alarms onsite, or have one of our operators
take control, " Shild says.
The company's Crowd Intelligence option is
a portable solution that features tethered drones
that provide an " eye in the sky " at events. Its Vision
AI software can process thousands of images
in real-time and identifies familiar patterns.
Integrators can use robotics to offer additional
value to their customers in several areas: labor
shortages, situational awareness and liability,
Shild says.
" Customers have the potential for liability
issues when they are sending out humans to respond
to an alarm as the first contact who can, in
turn, be injured when responding. Additionally,
securitysales.com
customers can be held liable if they do not properly
secure their site to keep employees, tenants
or visitors safe, " he says.
Robotic technology is most effective when
integrated with a video surveillance system, as
aerial or ground robots are essentially moving
cameras.
" A camera on a robotic system is able to easily
integrate into video management systems to
allow security teams to have the feeds streaming
directly to their main screens, as well as storing
video on the recording servers, " Shild says. " Instead
of relying on cameras with limited viewing
angles or responding to an alarm without context,
security will have a clear picture of what's
going on thanks to our force multipliers. "
In addition, integrated software can enable
intelligent alerts, which can be fed to the VMS.
" Beyond video, our systems can be integrated
into other third-party alarm sensors, such as in
the access control system, to have the robots intelligently
respond to alerts, " Shild says.
Easy Aerial is a U.S. manufacturer and provider
of drones for commercial, government and
military applications.
Its " drone-in-a-box " system can be deployed
anywhere for applications such as perimeter and
border security, event monitoring, emergency
incidents and industrial inspection, without a
human operator.
" Our system is fully autonomous, " says Tuvi
Cohen, the company's vice president of programs.
" Once you set it up, it flies itself, charges
itself, and triggers itself. "
Once the drone's mission is complete, it returns
to its ground control station.
Easy Aerial's Raptor UAV is tethered to a continuous
power source but can drop the cable and
fly free to track its target. It can be deployed from
a stationary position, such as on a rooftop, or
from a moving vehicle. Its top speed is 60 mph.
In addition, Easy Aerial products integrate
with a number of third-party technologies like a
loudspeaker and projector or a thermal camera.
" Huge facilities understand that when you
have an intruder or need to secure a perimeter,
a security team cannot move fast enough but a
drone can deploy in 30 seconds, " Cohen says.
Drones ensure that first responders do not enter
a scene blindly. They are tools that enhance
people because CCTV and cameras are not always
enough.
" You want to have the best tool to mitigate the
risk before it becomes a risk, " he says.
