Manned security guarding has always been an essential part of robust security measures in a multitude of situations in Thailand, such as at events, in retail, in hospitality, at transportation hubs, etc. But as important as security guards are, there is still room for advances in technology to further enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of their work. In this blog, we will look at some ways of how AI is transforming traditional security guard services in Thailand.
CCTV is no longer simply a passive surveillance tool to help security guards monitor certain areas remotely. By integrating AI with CCTV, it can now be used to automatically analyze video feeds to identify unusual activities or potential threats without the need for human eyes-on. Using AI-powered facial recognition technology, the system can assist guards by identifying known criminals or unauthorized personnel quickly. As soon as the AI spots a threat or anomaly, it will instantly alert security personnel to investigate.
Again, the human element of many security solutions is important, but humans are susceptible to missing things no matter how well they are trained. This is where AI-powered devices can help. AI can actually predict security breaches by analyzing patterns and historical data. It is able to analyze human behavior to detect suspicious activities which may not be obvious to human security guards, and again, alerting the relevant personnel if needed.
Access control has traditionally been manpower intensive, observing people entering an area, checking papers and possessions if required. However, by integrating AI and facial recognition with access control systems to make them smart, means that security guards are able to manage and monitor entry points more effectively. For instance, the smart access control systems can quickly identify individuals on whitelists or blacklists simply through biometric calculations.
AI-powered analytics tools can help in planning and optimizing manned security guard patrol routes, ensuring the most efficient coverage of large areas.
In addition to more efficient resource management, AI-powered analytics tools can generate detailed reports on security incidents, helping with data-driven decision making. The AI can assist in analyzing past incidents to improve future security strategies.
AI is now being used to create virtual training simulations to help with the training and development of security guards, enhancing their skills and preparedness in a variety of scenarios which might be difficult to replicate in a real-world training environment. Using AI for training purposes also ensures security guards are continuously updated and up to speed on the latest threats.
Last but not least, integrating AI into security solutions, reduces the need for extensive manpower, without compromising on security effectiveness.
While the human element of a security solution is important, we can see that integrating AI not only increases the effectiveness and efficiency of the solution, it can also save on manpower costs. The combination of manned security guarding and AI is a powerful duo to create a comprehensive modern security solution.
