NEW YORK - It's just a simulation, but it feels real, as the employee carrying out the demonstration inside Actuate offices in Midtown Manhattan walks in carrying a mock AR-15 rifle.In a matter of seconds, after the employee is visible in the office space, a surveillance camera in the room goes into action.A green flash pulsates across the monitor set up in another corner of the room after the video management system recognizes a potential threat in the room."As you can see it's pulsing green within about a second or two.

That means an alert has been registered," says Actuate CEO and co-Founder Sonny Tai. "Our AI model has made a detection and sent an alert to video management systems."The company is utilizing emerging technology that uses artificial intelligence software for surveillance cameras to detect potential problems."We initially built our company as a gun detection company in response to a lot of active shooter threats that happened over the years," Tai said.After the Las Vegas shooting in 20017, Tai who is a former captain in the US Marine Corps, surveyed law enforcement agencies across the country asking what could be done."A common refrain heard from a lot of them was a wish security cameras could automatically identify threats," he said.Most business or office buildings or public spaces already have cameras.Actuate doesn't actually install any new devices, instead, the company connects cameras online in an encrypted way and then runs its algorithms that are programmed to search for problems."99% plus of cameras are used in a very forensic way.

Which means that if something bad happens, they come back and review the footage hours or even days later and try to catch a bad guy," Tai said.
