Massive increase in demand for AI video monitoring – Marius Moga, Zip e-Guard

The demand for video monitoring systems based on artificial intelligence is growing rapidly in Romania, against the background of the need of companies and institutions to respond to incidents more quickly and efficiently.

The trend is confirmed by Zip e-Guard, the technology division of Zip Escort, one of the leading players in the private security industry.

In the last two years, both in public and private space, security has become unpredictable. Against the background of increasing incidents and the pressure to react quickly, the security market is going through the biggest transition in the last decade: the transition from classic surveillance systems, based on exclusively human monitoring, to automated video solutions, supported by advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. Companies investing in modernization are looking for technologies capable of noticing faster, reducing human error and optimizing operational costs, and artificial intelligence is quickly becoming the standard for the next generation of security.

The phenomenon is visible in the massive increase in requests for such services, confirmed by the representatives of Zip Escort, a company with a tradition of three decades in the field of private security.

“We are seeing a massive increase in requests for video surveillance with artificial intelligence in our company. We estimate that by 2027 at least 50% of classic video surveillance systems, including human guards that customers were used to, will be replaced by solutions with monitoring with the help of artificial intelligence. Zip Escort already integrates these technologies in most new projects and modernizes the security infrastructure for existing customers. Our AI monitoring systems can automatically detect behaviors suspects, intrusions, theft attempts, but also anomalies difficult to notice by human operators. By using advanced video analysis algorithms, we can react in real time, before an incident turns into a major problem. Thus, we not only reduce operational costs, but also increase the efficiency and accuracy of interventions. Zip Escort will continue to invest in technology, team training and strategic partnerships to remain a leader in smart security.” – Marius Moga, Zip Escort.

With 30 years in the private security industry, Zip Escort has become one of the regional pillars of integrated protection services. The company covers an extensive area in the southeast of the country, providing human guarding and rapid intervention monitoring in multiple urban and rural localities, including through strategic partnerships that expand operational capacity where needed.

The strong infrastructure that Zip Escort has built over time is the foundation for new smart technologies: more than 1000 installed cameras, more than 100 vehicles dedicated to interventions, a dispatcher connected by four redundant transmission channels, compatibility with all security systems on the market and a fleet of more than 90 agents trained to professional standards. The company already monitors more than 9,000 objectives with alarm or video, providing customers with real response times and a high level of safety.

This fusion of human expertise, strengthened infrastructure and continued investment in technology positions Zip Escort as one of the leaders in the transition to intelligent security, able to integrate artificial intelligence into a robust and future-ready operational ecosystem.
