The past several years brought about a revolutionary change in technology, driven by advances in artificial intelligence. This technology has created new opportunities for every sector, while also causing anxiety for some. A new survey on the state of physical security from Pro-Vigil indicated that just 7% of respondents have adopted AI into their physical security strategy.
In 2025, security integrators should begin considering how to incorporate AI into their offerings for their clients. More clients are starting to look for video security solutions to protect their operations, infrastructure, and employees’ safety. As the impact of AI continues to grow and the ways we use technology evolves, security providers can show their customers that they’re ahead of the curve by offering them AI solutions.
Impact of AI on Video Security
Beyond ChatGPT and LLMs, AI has also revolutionized the efficacy and efficiency of physical security systems. AI has boosted threat detection to a degree that was previously impossible for humans. Security systems are increasingly employing AI to produce user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), which analyze user data and trends.
UEBA is a security approach that looks for unusual trends or behaviors in individuals and devices using AI and machine learning (ML) technology. Using UEBA, security professionals can identify potential threats and unusual behavior before an incident occurs.
This is critical because effective security breaches can have disastrous effects for the companies that integrators serve. This can include operational disruption, financial loss, and harm to a company’s brand. Bad actors are increasingly focusing on older security systems, leaving them more susceptible to attacks.
It takes minimal effort for a criminal to take advantage of outdated technologies, which frequently fail to recognize and stop threats or attacks. Modernizing your clients’ old systems or adopting cutting-edge technology is imperative, not only as a technical matter but also as a commercial strategy. No security integrator wants to be responsible or take the fall for a security incident.
Security Solutions and Sustainability
More and more of your clients are looking for video security solutions to monitor and manage their security. Video monitoring is crucial for all types of businesses, from large festival-style concerts to commercial building exteriors to in-store security camera networks.
But alongside this increased adoption, security integrators are facing increasing pressure to stay accountable, not just for safety but also for sustainability. Climate change poses new challenges for your clients as resources get more costly and limited. To manage and grow operations, suppliers need to face their energy demands and find sustainable, effective ways to run.
Having cutting-edge security solutions isn’t enough: companies need to consider their impact on the environment and their community. Modern solutions like high-capacity batteries and renewable solar panels offer excellent dependability and off-grid capability.
Some of these systems can even operate for seven to 10 days in the instance of a natural disaster or other incident when power is lost or limited power is available. Without being tied to the grid, these sustainable solutions can be used anywhere to deter crime, secure a location, control traffic, or keep an eye on safety.
With their visual intelligence and predictive capabilities, solar-powered security systems are also gaining popularity in the market. Renewable energy can provide superior, high-quality performance in a way that is environmentally sustainable. Offering sustainable solutions is another way that security integrators can show their customers that they’re a part of the cutting edge.
Video Surveillance-as-a-Service’s (VSaaS) Rise
Video Surveillance-as-a-Service (VSaaS) is also becoming more popular as it removes the need for costly onsite hardware and physical storage. Its cloud-based recording technology enables businesses to remotely store, manage, record, playback, and monitor video feeds through their secure platforms.
Given the rapid effects of climate change and the requirement for durable security camera systems, modern VSaaS providers have strengthened their technology to withstand even the most demanding environments, which gives greater peace of mind.
Thanks to developments in video analytics, state-of-the-art illumination technology, and reliable monitoring systems, VSaaS will continue to provide preventative solutions that immediately identify anomalies to discourage threats and risks.
Some VSaaS technologies go even farther, preventing mishaps by using red and blue lights and sirens that emit sounds from their equipment. Security professionals can track targets from video footage using AI and ML analytics, and they can utilize extremely advanced cameras to take full-color photos or videos during the day or night.
To stop threats from entering a business, solutions can include quick reaction features like sound warnings, real-time alerts, and deterrent flood lights.
Security integrators should be aware that businesses are looking for solutions with AI-ISPs that can adapt to evolving requirements with sophisticated self-learning capabilities. Offerings with intelligent VSaaS technology and threat detection capabilities will help companies protect their assets more effectively and efficiently.
The Future of Business Security and AI
The rise in popularity of AI is going to affect the video security landscape. Your clients will give priority to safety solutions that continuously monitor their assets and discourage threats in real time. However, in order to continue safeguarding themselves, they will need to rely on sustainable alternatives that use fewer resources. Integration firms need to prepare for this shift.
To better protect and defend an organization, its operations, and most crucially, its people, the business leaders whom you serve are going to rely on AI and sustainable solutions to optimize their video security in the coming years.
