Unveiled by Interface Systems at NRF PROTECT 2025, the Virtual Perimeter Guard is designed to help retailers, restaurants, and other commercial businesses reduce crime and improve outdoor security.
Virtual Perimeter Guard combines AI-enabled cameras with live intervention from Interface’s U.S.-based security experts. The solution provides businesses with a proactive and scalable approach to outdoor security. It 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 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’s team can directly engage with intruders in real time and coordinate with law enforcement when necessary. All incidents are recorded and securely archived, providing customers with video-verified evidence to support investigations and insurance claims.
The system’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’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 key capabilities at NRF PROTECT 2025, Booth #1717.
