At the Axis Communications Behind the Lens: AI & Analytics Showcase in Fort Lauderdale, one message stood out clearly. AI in physical security is no longer experimental. It is operational, measurable, and actively shaping how organizations protect people, assets, and operations today and into 2026.
From foundational analytics to real-world use cases and a forward-looking 2026 product roadmap, this session reinforced exactly how Security 101 and Axis Communications together deliver intelligent, scalable, and ethically deployed security solutions.
“Here at Axis Communications, we place a high value on relationships and partnerships. One that we are extremely proud of is our long-standing partnership with Security 101. Recently, Security 101 held an event at our Fort Lauderdale Axis Experience Center. Together, we dove into a myriad of solutions and discussed the impact of AI and operational intelligence with an audience of over 60 attendees, not only for today but for the future as well. Jointly, our teams, coupled with the Axis Experience Centers, are a great representation of a famous Steve Jobs quote: ‘People don’t know what they want until you show it to them.’ Together, we can help organizations protect their assets while affording greater efficiencies and outcomes. Through a strong partnership, Security 101 and Axis Communications are truly innovating for a smarter, safer world.”John Callahan, Business Area Director, Southeast, Axis Communications |
Axis Scene Intelligence: The Foundation of Smarter Security Analytics
Real-World Use Cases Discussed
Perimeter Analytics at a Manufacturing Facility
One live example showed two individuals climbing a fence outside a manufacturing plant. The analytics detected human movement in a restricted perimeter zone, triggering immediate alerts before access was gained. Axis Communications products provide this type of perimeter security analytics to allow organizations to shift from reactive response to proactive threat prevention.
Retail Loss Prevention and Operational Insights
Retailers are using AXIS Object Analytics to monitor customer behavior at registers, analyze queue activity, and detect suspicious movements tied to theft on the sales floor. These insights not only support loss prevention, but also improve store operations and staffing efficiency.
Transportation Analytics: Bus and Intersection Detection
Another powerful demonstration showed AI capturing detailed attributes of a person wearing sunglasses on a bus traveling down a highway, recorded through an intersection camera. This level of precision shows how AI-based video analytics can enhance situational awareness across transportation and smart city environments.
Through Security 101’s integrated security design, these analytics become part of a unified system that connects video, access control, and monitoring into one actionable security platform.
Workplace Violence, Situational Assaults, and Wearable Camera Integration
A growing focus at the showcase was the rise in workplace violence and situational assaults, particularly across retail, healthcare, and cruise line operations.
Axis body worn camera solutions are now fully integrated with existing security systems, providing real-time monitoring, recorded evidence, and improved accountability.
One real-world cruise line scenario illustrated the importance of this technology. A guest requests room maintenance for a malfunctioning safe. Later, the guest claims an assault occurred during the service visit. With wearable camera footage securely integrated into the broader security ecosystem, organizations gain verifiable documentation, protection for employees, and clarity during investigations.
Security 101 ensures these solutions are not siloed tools but rather fully connected components of an enterprise-wide physical security strategy.
The 2025 Product Roadmap: Smarter, Faster, More Proactive
AXIS Communications’ 2026 product roadmap reinforces a clear direction for the industry. More intelligence at the edge. Faster analytics processing. Broader object classification. Deeper integrations across security ecosystems.
For Security 101 customers, this roadmap means:
- Faster threat detection
- More precise analytics
- Expanded safety and operational use cases
- Scalable deployments across enterprise environments
Where Analytics Meets Integration
What made the Behind the Lens showcase so impactful was not just the advancement of Axis analytics. It was how easily this technology becomes fully operational when integrated by Security 101. From perimeter security and retail analytics to transportation monitoring and body worn camera deployments, integration is where innovation becomes measurable protection.
AI-based video analytics is no longer a future concept. It is driving real-world security outcomes today and defining how organizations will protect their operations in 2025 and beyond.
