Targets 80+ Million Security Camera Market with New Advanced Monitoring and Safety Technology
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.-July 16,2024–. Knightscope, Inc. (“Knightscope” or the “Company”), a leading innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies focused on public safety, announced today the launch of the Knightscope K1 Laser (“K1 Laser”) solution for physical security. The K1 Laser leverages lidar-based technology to detect people and objects, coupled with integrated perception software for enhanced situational awareness, to provide superior safety in locations where people live, work, study, and visit.
The K1 Laser device can be deployed on fixed infrastructure or in conjunction with Knightscope’s K1 portfolio of stationary technologies, which are suitable for parking lots and structures, building interiors, university campuses, transit stations, and more. Knightscope K1 Laser clients will have the ability to integrate the lidar perception software for security applications, enabling advanced detection and alerts backed by the Company’s Risk & Threat Exposure (“RTX”) team. The K1 Lasers operate effectively under adverse weather conditions, including low or no light, reliably delivering detailed information that traditional security cameras, numbering over 80 million in the U.S., cannot provide.
“Our Knightscope K1 Laser is designed to deliver exceptional value from lidar systems, providing high accuracy in detecting, classifying, and tracking people, vehicles, and objects,” said William Santana Li, Chairman and CEO, Knightscope, Inc. “Our products will also integrate with lidar-based perception software, which can reduce false alarms and missed events by as much as 95%, ensuring that we provide our clients with the highest levels of safety in covered areas with reliable monitoring and detections, particularly for perimeter security.”
The Company’s expanded stationary product line will complement its Autonomous Security Robots (ASR) business, which already utilizes lidar for navigation and object detection.
