One of the biggest challenges facing businesses throughout Hawaii is the lack of evidence when a claim or situation occurs in the workplace. Standard security cameras have limited space for continued streaming, low resolution and lighting issues with high ceiling angles are all common challenges. The cost of multiple cameras and someone to monitor them 24-7 is another issue. Crime is increasing, people loitering where they shouldn’t be as they are possibly looking for their next target or place to hangout and set up “camp”. As many resorts and establishments remain closed due to covid-19, the demand for security and the liability of their security force is a primary concern. Being able to help so many businesses reduce their risk, costs, increase their protection, provide clear evidence when needed and allow an option to use a mobile intelligent robot to further investigate and approach suspicious activity at a low price is the best feeling for me!

The security guard pool has always been a challenge. Not enough security officers to fill the demand for them. Not to mention quality personnel. The availability of the AI Robotic devices will positively impact our industry. And make us more effective in our responsibilities. A major way the security industry, whether you outsource your security force or have your own private security team, can overcome some of the staffing challenges in today’s market is to incorporate AI robotic devices throughout their business location. Pre covid-19, Hawaii is known for its unemployment rate being under 3%, one of the lowest in the nation. These devices allow your security force to be able to cover and secure more square footage for a very low cost. That makes me happy. It is really important to me to provide the absolute best tools you’re your security force as I possibly can. The evolution of affordable AI Security Robotics is allowing me the opportunity to take security to the next level for you! Future Solutions Now.

Today’s challenges with covid-19 and the impact it is having to local businesses throughout Hawaii have been dramatic and unthinkable, to say the least. As many businesses work together to collaborate on the safest and most cost-effective ways to provide a safe environment for patrons and employees, affordable A.I. robotic devices are heavily in need for Hawaii. We can provide a 7 foot all terrain device with artificial intelligence at approximately $10.70/hour for 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! The ability for automatic detection of potential “circumstances” is exciting! Rather than deploy a security personnel to a potentially dangerous situation, Roameo can do the “heavy, and sometimes dangerous, lifting”. Not only does this add protection to your security staff, it provides an extra “body” to cover more square footage at a fraction of the cost of an additional employee. Budgets are tight, the need is high. We have devices as low as $1.30/hour up to $10.68 per hour. Every device works together, provides autonomous remote services and patrols to the security industry. Our robotic devices are intelligent, able to detect people, an intruder, license plate recognition, mobile PA system and 2-way audio / video communication. Detect dangers and possible suspicious behavior as notification is immediate sent to the top tier recipients simultaneously. There is so much these devices can do! The time is now to consolidate as many issues and needs as possible within your business to

Have you been watching some of the videos that have gone viral? I have been just SHOCKED at people’s behavior and expectation of rights. We know as a business owner, you have the right to set guidelines and to refuse service to anyone; however, the goal and need is to service everyone. You can provide a staff member (at $12-15/hour plus taxes and medical) to stand at the entrance, providing them with training and script as to what to say when a potential customer approaches without a mask…. How has that been working out? Budgets are tight, the need is high. We have devices as low as $1.30/hour up to $10.68 per hour. Every device works together, provides autonomous remote services and patrols to the security industry. Our robotic devices are intelligent, able to detect people, an intruder, license plate recognition, mobile PA system and 2-way audio / video communication. Detect dangers and possible suspicious behavior as notification is immediate sent to the top tier recipients simultaneously. There is so much these devices can do! The time is now to consolidate as many issues and needs as possible within your business to You can employ the Rosa. This is approximately $1.30/hour and doesn’t require training or scripts. Just watch some of the videos we have of the actual device in action. It is also a security camera and audio communication. There are even opportunities for you to sell advertising or place your special on the visible screen to all your approaching customers and clients! We know we are moving forward with a new normal. We know we will be required to wear masks for over a year. We know those two things for sure. My goal is reducing that stress for you by removing the demands from your employees. Let us remove them from the potential conflicts of the mask mandates.

The security industry is adjusting to a great many events and threats nationwide. Although the industry should be prevent, not repent or be proactive instead of reactive profession, we just do not have the luxury to sit and wait for good things to happen. We have gone from an analog to a digital world which is constantly evolving. The security industry is definitely changing, and the industry is under more demand than ever before. The recent strain of the COVID-19 pandemic is the first reaction to the growing business organizations throughout the world in seeking to protect assets, patrons and employees are all factors in the industry’s growth and development. Artificial Intelligence monitoring devices can detect suspicious activity and notify designated security staff. In the past, we have had to rely on a physical, on-site security officer watching multiple monitors and the accuracy of them spotting the activity at that moment. Now, the A.I. Robotic Device with long range capabilities and two-way video communications will be able to determine and alert from multiple devices at the same time to the on-site security officer or the security office; it allows a protective solution to be in multiple places at once. Simple things like facial recognition and behavior monitoring are rapidly used today with our personal smart phones. These features are entering the workplace and publicly monitored businesses such as malls, airports, train stations, special events, etc. As we know, facial recognition has been used in the airports and other transportation hubs by homeland security for years. We see more and more development in technology that can easily be adapted to improve the response time, notification of suspicious behavior and accountability of the current security efforts. What is more exciting is that this can all be made possible now at an affordable price that we have not had access to in the previous years. Being able to bring together the proper A.I. robotic devices to help tackle the challenges a physical security officer faces every day is exhilarating for me. I have been in the security industry for over 38 years. It is astonishing to think how we have been able to be as effective as we have with just human resources. But of course, that was a different time. Now think about how affective we will be tomorrow with the enhancement of AI robotic devices partnered with your human security force today! When I say affordable, we are talking from about $1.60 – $10.60 per hour depending on the device. An item that shows for duty without issues, does not sleep does not eat, does not require payroll taxes or required benefits. It is a lease, so you pay monthly. Easy to use, locally supported and access to the manufacturer for expert technical support. I am excited to see this be available and designed for enhancing safety in the security industry.

I have been in the grocery store and looked to my left, only to see the person standing there has pulled their mask down. Now this person is putting me at risk, the employees in the grocery store and potential negative publicity for the establishment. It is upsetting when businesses are spending so much on disinfectant and safety measures to have someone get past the door and then do as they please. Who wants a confrontation? Now, we have devices that handle that for as little as $1.30/hour. For some reason, people are not arguing with AI robotic devices, rather they are leaving or complying. This provides a simple, safe, and affordable option for every business and establishment. The economic recovery is fluctuating and difficult to predict as government mandates change. Many businesses have had to scale back or close, some remaining closed since the end of the first quarter. What we do know is that we will need to create a new “normal”. Providing a safe and affordable solution is what we specialize in.
