As AI continues to evolve, the most successful surveillance operations will be those that not only reduce nuisance alerts, but also derive meaningful business intelligence from video data.

SMART Security Solutions held an online roundtable with a few surveillance experts to explore the intersection of surveillance and AI, gaining insights into the market and how control rooms are evolving.

DeepAlert has appointed Howard Harrison as chief executive officer. DeepAlert’s founder and CEO of the past six years, Dr Jasper Horrell, will transition into a newly created role as chief innovation officer.

Security professionals and business leaders are invited to revolutionise their offsite monitoring operations at the DeepAlert Product Road Show, taking place on 16 – 17 September 2025, at the Schoemanspark Golf Club, Bloemfontein.

SMART Security Solutionsasked DeepAlert for some insight into how AI is transforming video surveillance, even to the extent of it being taught to protect the privacy of those in the cameras’ view.

In February this year, SMART Security Solutions travelled to Cape Town to experience the unbelievable experience of a city where potholes are fixed, and traffic lights work; and to host the Cape Town SMART Estate Security Conference 2025.

To ensure the safety and success of the colony, DeepAlert sponsored the software used on the cameras to send alerts on the presence of both people and wild animals in or around the penguins' protected area.

Traditional surveillance methods are increasingly inadequate in today’s security landscape. For security companies, integrating AI-powered CCTV with cloud computing offers a transformative solution that enhances security and delivers significant cost savings.
