When you clicked on this blog today you probably thought I was going to talk about data breaches or cyberattacks, but the joke's on you. That’s right, I refuse to beat that dead horse another week, the cyber-meltdown is taking time off. I’m talking about robots. Well artificial intelligence, drones, and robots to be precise! The next big thing in the security industry, allegedly. It’s hard not to see it everywhere with A.I. and machine learning algorithms built into data...

DALLAS – Drones have exploded in popularity and represent both a threat and an opportunity. Security Systems News recently talked with 911 Security CEO Robert Tabbara regarding the drone security market. Around the world drones have risen to perform every function from eviscerating tanks on the battlefield in Ukraine to delivering packages to our front doors effortlessly.

The role of robotics within security continues to increase, as the technology can act as a force multiplier, expand the scope and effectiveness of security around and within a perimeter, including everything from small to expansive areas. Drones, for example, have come a long way in just a couple of years, and are starting to be used in commercial and industrial senarios, as well as in and around home. With drone technology advancing at a fast rate, FAA regulations loosening, and more accessible...

With drone technology gaining traction within the security space, it only makes sense that the discussion includes anti-drone technology, as the issues of privacy and rules and regulations regarding flight restrictions must come into play. At this year's ISC West in April, for example, the show's inaugural Unmanned Security Expo—which has its own section of the show floor with a “flying cage” featuring ground-based robots and aerial drones in action—will also include an education...

LAS VEGAS—Drones and robots will have a notable presence at ISC West 2017 with the show's inaugural Unmanned Security Expo @ ISC West.Incorporating this new technology fits ISC West's development. “This is part of our regular process here at ISC. We always look at the show as a constantly evolving entity. We never want to deliver the exact same event year after year. We want to constantly be on the forefront with new technology and really reflecting the future of the industry,”...

DELRAY BEACH, Fla.—Attendees of TechSec Solutions 2017 started the first morning of the conference here with a look into one drone company, and how the technology could innovate the physical security market, making for cheaper, better and faster solutions.“There are two kinds of change. The first kind is 'incremental.' Like small waves on a shore, the impact of incremental changes are hard to measure at first but [they] add up over time. The second kind is 'major'—and, like a tidal...

YARMOUTH, Maine—More companies in the security space have been looking at drones; Alarm.com announced its drones at CES 2017 and Sunflower Labs recently outlined a structure for autonomous drones in the residential sector. Security Systems News readers shared their views of the technology in SSN's latest news poll.“Robotic Aerial Security (RAS) will enhance existing security postures with new capabilities like rapid response, efficient large area & perimeter patrol as well as providing...

TYSONS, Va.—Alarm.com announced at CES in January that it will develop drone applications for smart home and business security that work in tandem with the Qualcomm Snapdragon Flight Drone Platform, and with the company's newly developed Insights Engine, a multi-sensor learning capability that recognizes and proactively responds to unexpected activity around a property.Alarm.com's Insights Engine applies machine-learning algorithms to the growing data set generated by devices and sensors in...
