Knightscope provides an autonomous security platform that combines AI‑driven patrol robots, stationary monitoring devices, and cloud‑based analytics to deliver continuous, real‑time perimeter protection for large campuses and facilities. Its mobile units (K5, K7) and fixed devices (K1 Hemisphere, Blue Light Towers) detect and classify threats, stream data to a central operations center, and integrate licensed human response agents for rapid incident handling.

Problem
Many public and private properties rely on limited human security personnel and static alarm systems, which can leave large areas unmonitored, respond slowly to incidents, and struggle to scale coverage cost‑effectively. This creates gaps in deterrence, detection, and emergency communication, especially in high‑traffic or remote locations.
Solution
Knightscope delivers an autonomous security force that combines AI‑driven robots, stationary monitoring devices, and cloud‑based analytics to provide continuous, real‑time perimeter protection. Mobile units such as the K5 and K7 robots patrol indoor and outdoor spaces autonomously, using lidar, ultrasonic sensors, GPS, and computer‑vision to detect, classify, and track threats. Fixed devices like the K1 Hemisphere and Blue Light Towers offer 24/7 surveillance, programmable watchlists, and instant emergency communication via wireless networks. All data are streamed to the Knightscope Security Operations Center, where AI analytics generate alerts, risk exposure reports, and actionable insights for security teams. The platform also integrates licensed human response agents through the acquired Event Risk service, enabling a coordinated, scalable security operation that deters incidents, detects threats, and facilitates rapid response.
Target Audience
Primary customers are property owners and operators of large campuses, parking structures, universities, commercial real estate, and public sector facilities that require continuous, scalable security coverage.
