ST LOUIS, Mo.— Interface Systems, a managed service provider with products that includes purpose-built networks for multi-location businesses, has announced it will unveil its Virtual Perimeter Guard solution at NRF PROTECT 2025.
Designed to help retailers, restaurants, and other commercial businesses reduce crime and improve outdoor security, the company says Virtual Perimeter Guard combines AI-enabled cameras with live intervention from Interface’s U.S.-based security experts. The solution, according to the company, addresses growing concerns around loitering, break-ins, and after-hours intrusions that contribute to over $100 billion in annual losses across U.S. businesses.
“Virtual Perimeter Guard combines advanced AI detection with human intelligence to proactively stop threats,” says Steve Womer, SVP of product at Interface Systems. “It’s a powerful tool for businesses looking to prevent burglaries, protect frontline staff, and improve operational safety.”
Virtual Perimeter Guard Protects Businesses of All Sizes
Interface Systems asserts that Virtual Perimeter Guard provides businesses with a proactive and scalable approach to outdoor security. The solution utilizes AI-enabled cameras to continuously monitor designated perimeter zones for suspicious activity, including loitering and unauthorized access attempts. When a potential threat is detected, the system the company explains, initiates a multi-stage deterrence protocol, beginning with automated voice warnings and strobe light activation. If the behavior persists, the incident is escalated to Interface’s 5 Diamond TMA-certified interactive Security Operations Center (iSOC), where trained security professionals conduct a live review of the situation and can dispatch police if required.
Through remote voice-down capabilities, Interface Systems team can directly engage with intruders in real time and coordinate with law enforcement when necessary. All incidents are recorded and securely archived to provide customers with video-verified evidence to support investigations and insurance claims.
The company points out that Virtual Perimeter Guard’s modular design allows for flexible coverage across a wide range of exterior environments, including parking lots, back alleys, and loading docks, making it an effective deterrent and response solution for businesses with complex or high-risk outdoor areas.
Interface Systems emphasizes that Virtual Perimeter Guard builds upon its Virtual Security Guard platform for indoor monitoring, offering customers end-to-end protection that extends beyond the front door.
Interface’s Virtual Perimeter Guard is currently in beta testing with select customers and is expected to be widely available in August 2025. Attendees can experience a live demonstration of its capabilities during the NRF PROTECT 2025 show in booth #1717.
