Elite Adds AI-Based Software to Check
Camera Health

▶ LOS ANGELES - Elite Interactive Solutions, a provider of remote guarding services, has incorporated new software using AI
to monitor and detect surveillance camera complications beyond
simple connection issues. The AI software from Las Vegas-based
Ai-RGUS replaces time-consuming manual camera-view verification, alerting the Elite Interactive team to incorrect camera tilt,
blurry or blocked images, inadequate lighting and other device

Elite Interactive COO Michael Zatulov says the new software is
another example of the company's dedication to innovative technologies that enhance customer service and achieve false alarm
reduction. Elite Interactive is using the software on more than
5,000 cameras installed nationwide.
" Manually monitoring each camera is a logistical nightmare.
The Ai-RGUS software automatically checks each camera's health
at predetermined times and alerts our engineers to any issues
saving time, money and other resources. The integration is a major benefit to our clients as a camera problem can result in a crime
going undetected, " Zatulov says.
Elite Interactive uses remote guarding to help prevent active
shooters, vandalism, theft and loitering with real-time monitoring and priority response to enhance security and reduce costs.
The company's agents, located remotely in a centralized command center, use voice-down technology to view and communicate with intruders, thereby helping to prevent crime before
it starts.
