German Security Provider Adopts AI Video Analytics Platform

This strategic partnership integrates Actuate’s real-time threat detection software into WSD's permanent security’s nationwide monitoring operations.

Businesses across Germany will now have access to automated threat detection following a strategic partnership between WSD permanent security GmbH and AI developer Actuate.

The collaboration brings Actuate’s artificial intelligence software to WSD’s established security service portfolio, which includes guarding, remote monitoring and alarm response. The integration allows WSD to provide "smart" surveillance capabilities to clients without requiring the installation of new camera hardware.

Actuate’s platform uses AI to identify specific security risks in real time, such as intruders, weapons, loitering and slip-and-fall incidents. By utilizing a cloud-based system, the software integrates with existing digital infrastructure to analyze video feeds and alert security personnel to potential emergencies.

The move is intended to streamline security operations by reducing false alarms and accelerating response times for facilities protection. By leveraging a software-centric model, the partnership offers a scalable way for large-scale German enterprises to upgrade their safety protocols through proactive monitoring.

A8V MIND

Hexagon’s Geosystems presents a portable version of its Accur8vision detection system. A rugged all-in-one solution, the A8V MIND (Mobile Intrusion Detection) is designed to provide flexible protection of critical outdoor infrastructure and objects. Hexagon’s Accur8vision is a volumetric detection system that employs LiDAR technology to safeguard entire areas. Whenever it detects movement in a specified zone, it automatically differentiates a threat from a nonthreat, and immediately notifies security staff if necessary. Person detection is carried out within a radius of 80 meters from this device. Connected remotely via a portable computer device, it enables remote surveillance and does not depend on security staff patrolling the area.

Snap One has announced its popular Luma x20 family of surveillance products now offers even greater security and privacy for home and business owners across the globe by giving them full control over integrators’ system access to view live and recorded video.

This new feature is now available to all Luma x20 users globally. “The Luma x20 family of surveillance solutions provides excellent image and audio capture, and with the new customer handoff feature, it now offers absolute privacy for camera feeds and recordings,” Webb said. “With notifications and integrator access controlled through the powerful OvrC remote system management platform, it’s easy for integrators to give their clients full control of their footage and then to get temporary access from the client for any troubleshooting needs.”
