Security Patrol
Boost facility safety with autonomous patrols. 24/7 vigilance, instant threat detection, full reports—humans stay safe.
Why Automate Security Patrol?
24/7 Continuous Operation
No fatigue means steady vigilance on nights, weekends, holidays.
Cost Efficiency
Cut costs by supercharging human teams—one operator manages robot fleets.
Enhanced Sensing
Thermal/night vision catches intruders or hot spots eyes miss.
Reduced Risk
Robots probe alarms, leaks, suspects first—people out of danger.
Digital Trail
Logs every patrol with timed video/sensors for audits, claims.
Instant Alerts
Plugs into your VMS—threats trigger instant command alerts.
Intelligent Workflow Integration
Security Patrol turns mobile robots into smart sentinels. Kick off with mapping for a facility digital twin, then set waypoints and no-go zones via web.
Sensor fusion (LiDAR, RGB-D, thermal) navigates changes seamlessly; edge AI scans live video for people, doors, and anomalies.
Hit a threshold? Robot springs to life with blaring alarms, flashing strobes, and instant encrypted video to your security team for quick check and response.
Where It's Used
Warehousing & Logistics
Large footprint facilities with high-value inventory.
- Perimeter fence monitoring.
- After-hours inventory protection.
- Fire and smoke early detection.
Data Centers
High-security environments requiring strict access control.
- Server rack temperature monitoring (Thermal).
- Verification of secure door closures.
- Authorized personnel escorting.
Corporate Campuses
Open environments with mixed foot traffic.
- Parking lot surveillance and safety.
- Lobby and hallway patrols.
- Visible deterrence for unauthorized entry.
Critical Infrastructure
Power plants, water treatment, and chemical facilities.
- Inspection of hazardous areas.
- Gas leak detection (with added sensors).
- Gauge reading and visual inspection.

| Software Stack | Ubuntu 20.04/22.04, ROS 2 (Humble/Iron), Docker support. |
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last during continuous patrol?
Battery life depends on chassis—expect 8-12 hours. Autonomous docking sends it back to charge automatically below 20%.
What happens if the robot loses WiFi connection?
Edge-first design keeps it patrolling and recording locally, even offline. Signal back? Uploads data and alerts. Long outages? Program it to retreat to base.
Can the robot operate in total darkness?
Absolutely. LiDAR navigation shines in total darkness. Add thermal or IR-boosted cameras for clear footage.
Does the robot record audio?
Audio recording optional, off by default for GDPR compliance. Enable if your setup allows.
Can the robot open doors or use elevators?
No physical door handling, but integrates with access control APIs. Triggers smart doors or elevators remotely.
How secure is the data collected by the robot?
Security first: AES-256 for local data at rest, TLS 1.3 for streams, on-prem options keep it all in-house.
Is the robot weatherproof?
Chassis-specific: indoor IP20 to rugged outdoor IP65/IP67 that laughs off rain and snow. Share your setup for the best fit.
Can it detect gas or chemical leaks?
Sure, our modular design loves third-party gas sensors—we often add methane, CO, or VOC detectors for industrial spots.
What is the typical setup time?
For 50,000 sq ft, mapping and waypoints take 1-2 days. VMS integration and training add 2-3 more.
Can the robot replace human security guards entirely?
Imagine robots as force multipliers—they handle the dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs, letting human guards focus on strategic decisions and handling the tough stuff. It's a smart hybrid team.
