Private wireless pioneer Betacom and its partners Axis Communications and Evolon Technology announced yesterday a new AI-powered perimeter surveillance solution, Betacom PSS, that delivers 24/7/365 physical threat detection for airports, warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Betacom PSS uses Axis cameras equipped with Evolon AI-based image detection, all running on Betacom’s managed private 4G/5G network. According to the company, the system is designed to respond in significantly less time and at a greatly reduced cost than legacy wired and public wireless solutions.
Betacom PSS is designed to extend a customer’s surveillance systems in areas where traditional solutions are cost-prohibitive to install and operate. The solution also offers unlimited data usage for video transmission at no additional cost in an effort to eliminate millions of dollars in data fees. The solution’s AI-driven capabilities distinguish between types of threats so that on-site security teams are only dispatched when real threats are identified. The Betacom PSS solution can be integrated into existing surveillance and central control systems.
Betacom partnered with Axis and Evolon to create the PSS solution that Betacom deploys and operates. Axis fixed thermal and PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras are deployed together to provide high performance optical image contrast to maximize accuracy in threat detection. The Axis open platform with its ability to have in-camera applications like Evolon reside on the edge helps to provide an optimal system by reducing bandwidth, latency and infrastructure costs. The option to power Axis cameras using solar power or uninterrupted power supplies increases deployment flexibility and eliminates the need for on-grid power, according to the company.
