They can easily patrol the existing boundaries to identify potential trouble spots , detect humans and / or vehicles in an area where they should not be , and alert responsible staff of potential risks . Robotic guards can provide new levels of intelligence and insight into situations for a more informed response through integration with existing sensors and systems , such as video surveillance .
The S5 is the world ’ s first commercial outdoor security robot that can function in various terrain conditions : road , off-road , grass and gravel . The robot can operate in all types of weather conditions ( rain , snow , fog , smoke , etc .), with temperatures
ranging from -4F to 100F .
Locations that require strict and continuous perimeter security , such as military facilities , critical infrastructure sites , corporate campuses and educational facilities , are usually designed in a similar fashion and have similar characteristics : geographically large , expansive spaces .
Perimeter security can be difficult in environments where a wide amount of space containing vast numbers of people and vehicles needs to be secured at all times .
A limited amount of security personnel or a short , weak fence may not do the trick .

According to the Perimeter Security Market report , the video surveillance systems segment is estimated to lead the perimeter security market between 2017 and 2022 .
Video technology onboard these robotic systems opens new doors to use cases and extended protection , adding not only raw video data for constant surveillance , but also video analytics that can alert officials in a monitoring center of any suspicious behavior , movements or trespassing taking place .
Using this technology can signal to officials a problem and provide valuable next steps in an emerging incident .
Particularly at high-risk facilities , innovative solutions such as robotic security guards are needed . Security robots are designed to augment the capabilities of existing personnel and improve operational efficiencies through continuous perimeter intrusion detection .
