Robotic Assistance Devices Releases New Security Solution: SCOT™ Wally

The wall-mounted version of the Security Control and Observation Tower (SCOT™) provides increased visibility to organizations at a fraction of the cost

  • Jun 21, 2018

Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. announced today it has released its latest version of the Security Control and Observation Tower (SCOT™): Wally, a wall-mounted security solution that harnesses the power of AI to enhance an organization's situational awareness, communication abilities and control.

SCOT™ Wally provides organizations with 110 degrees of visibility and takes full advantage of the RAD Software Suite, which is a collection of integrated software applications hosted in Microsoft’s Azure Cloud services that allows immediate and mobile access to alerts and controls generated by SCOT™. Priced at two-thirds less than the original SCOT™ tower, SCOT™ Wally can be used in lobbies, parking structures, corporate campuses or exterior areas.

“SCOT™ Wally builds on the success of our original SCOT™ solution, providing a wall-mounted version for organizations looking to scale their security teams in a way that is good for the bottom line,” said Steve Reinharz, President and CEO, RAD. “This unique security solution can be paired with other original SCOT™ deployments or be used on its own.”

SCOT™ solutions, including SCOT™ Wally, are equipped with AI-centric technology that powers human detection analytics, featuring long-range detection at low false-alarm rates.

SCOT™ Wally will be demonstrated for the first time at the upcoming BOMA 2018 International Conference and Expo for the commercial real estate market, June 23-26, in San Antonio, Texas, alongside its partners at Allied Universal (Booth #704).

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
