Enhancing Security Operations with AI: Why U.S. Security Agencies Should Transition from Manual Guarding

Security agencies across the U.S. predominantly rely on manual guarding services to protect assets and ensure safety. While effective to some extent, this traditional model falls short in addressing modern security challenges, especially in environments prone to evolving threats. A significant gap exists in adopting AI-based video analytics, which can substantially enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase competitiveness.

The Pitfalls of Relying Solely on Manual Guarding

Manual guarding is labor-intensive, expensive, and prone to human error. Agencies that remain tied to traditional methods face challenges such as:

1. Limited Scalability: Large-scale operations require extensive manpower, inflating operational costs.
2. Human Error and Fatigue: Guards may miss critical events due to fatigue or distraction, leading to undetected security breaches.
3. High Costs: Employing guards accounts for up to 70% of security budgets, making it the single largest expense.
4. Delayed Responses: Detecting threats often relies on guards reviewing footage after an event, slowing response times.

The Value Proposition of Deepsight AI Labs

Deepsight’s video analytics platform addresses these challenges head-on, empowering agencies to modernize and compete effectively.

Cost Savings

• Real-time alerts improve incident response times by over 40% compared to manual processes.

Improved Accuracy

• Behavioral analytics reduce false alarms by up to 80%, ensuring security teams focus on genuine threats.
• Weapon detection capabilities identify guns or knives with 95% accuracy, minimizing risks in high-traffic areas.

Real-World Impact of U.S. Crime Trends

Key Crime Insights (2022-2023):

1. Property Crimes:
2. Violent Crimes:
3. Organized Retail Crime:
4. Workplace Misconduct:

How DeepSight AI Labs Pvt Ltd can solve these issues:

• Human Intrusion Detection: Detects unauthorized personnel in restricted areas in real-time.
• Weapon Detection: Recognizes firearms or knives immediately, enabling rapid intervention.
• Behavioral Analytics: Flags unusual activities like loitering, crowd formation, or aggression.

The Hidden Cost of Avoiding AI

Security firms relying solely on manual guarding risk falling behind competitors for several reasons:

1. Escalating Costs:
2. Reduced Client Retention:
3. Lost Market Share:

Case Study: The Cost of Manual Guarding

Scenario: A commercial property with 20 guards costing $500,000 annually.

• AI Solution: Deploying Deepsight’s platform costs $120,000 annually, reducing guard dependency to 5.
• Result: Annual savings of $300,000+ while improving security outcomes.

Conclusion: Why AI is the Future of Security

Manual guarding alone is no longer sufficient to meet today’s security demands. Integrating AI-based video analytics enables agencies to enhance security outcomes, reduce costs, and deliver superior client satisfaction.

By leveraging real-time analytics, agencies can detect and respond to threats such as human intrusion, weapons, and unusual behaviors faster and more efficiently than ever.
