Technology is playing a strong role in the development of the private security industry. Hi-tech surveillance systems, remote sensors, and biometric technologies usher in a new paradigm shift in the market strategy of private security players. With the advancements in technology such as electronic security services, integrated facility management, security architecture and engineering will see a great prominence in the time to come. Today, most of the clients require tech-enabled security services and so traditional style of paper reports have been replaced by the mobile devices and computer systems that provide real-time reporting. There are some evolving technologies in security industry that can leverage new-age security technology solutions.
Security Robots
The use of security robots for physical security and surveillance operations are expected to be one of the next big things in security industry. Robots are already been used in manufacturing industries for transporting special containers of several hundred kilograms and delivering supplies from store room to the manufacturing wards. The concept of security robots are now being used in the world, Knightscope K5, a security robot designed to patrol malls, campuses, and parking lots, replacing the need for human security guards.
Artificial Intelligence for Facial and Behavioral Recognition
Artificial intelligence is now widely used to do almost everything from predicting the weather to piloting autonomous cars and more. AI is now being applied to video surveillance systems that promise to prevent criminal activity by predicting prominent criminal offenses.
