Aditya Prabhu- A unified, customizable, cloud-based dashboard is ideal for central access control, placing all core functions at the user’s fingertips. Our approach is to make the system completely brand-agnostic, allowing any existing systems or protocols to be monitored and managed centrally. Full integration with a single dashboard interface, coupled with granular access based on organizational hierarchy, empowers facility managers and IT heads to make real-time, data-backed decisions while significantly reducing manual effort and operational overhead.

IT Voice- Video surveillance, baggage scanners, metal detectors—security is evolving rapidly. How are your solutions incorporating AI, facial recognition, or behavioural analytics?

Aditya Prabhu- When it comes to security solutions, facial recognition has become far more accurate and context-aware through AI models. It allows for faster identification with minimal false positives. Additionally, behavioral analytics helps map suspicious movement or activity patterns, allowing organizations to take a more proactive, rather than reactive, approach to security.

Secutech has already successfully implemented AI-powered surveillance solutions under the DigiPravesh project. We understand that security is one domain where sophistication and impregnability are non-negotiable. Therefore, by integrating AI, we enable real-time threat detection, anomaly alerts, and continuous system monitoring.

IT Voice- How do you balance physical security with digital automation while maintaining system scalability and flexibility?
