Alpha Vision and A+ Guard Unite for Enhanced Retail Security

In a groundbreaking partnership announced at NRF Protect 2025, Alpha Vision, a prominent provider of AI-powered surveillance solutions, has joined forces with A+ Guard to deliver a state-of-the-art integrated security solution tailored for the retail sector. This collaboration aims to tackle the increasing challenges of theft prevention and customer safety with a blend of advanced video analytics and expert remote monitoring capabilities.

Transforming Surveillance with AI

The newly formed platform combines Alpha Vision's intelligent surveillance technology with A+ Guard's 24/7 monitoring services. At the heart of this innovative offering is Alpha Vision's AI Inspector, which continuously monitors video feeds to detect suspicious activities in real-time. This proactive measure allows retailers not only to mitigate risks but also to derive valuable operational insights.

Additional features such as Magic Search enable teams to swiftly locate specific footage based on natural language queries, significantly reducing the time spent investigating incidents. Retailers can also benefit from people-counting heatmaps and dwell-time analytics, offering profound insights into customer traffic patterns. These tools empower businesses to make informed decisions regarding staffing, store layouts, and targeted marketing strategies.

Robust Human Oversight

A critical component of the collaborative security solution is A+ Guard's human-led monitoring service. Each AI-generated alert is vetted by trained security operators who can respond immediately, issuing real-time voice warnings through on-site speakers when necessary. This dual-layer approach—where AI and human expertise intersect—allows for an immediate response to potential threats, mitigating any escalation of incidents. If required, A+ Guard coordinates with local law enforcement, ensuring a swift response to verified threats.

Actionable Intelligence at Retailers’ Fingertips

The partnership goes beyond mere surveillance; it seeks to provide actionable intelligence that retailers can leverage for operational improvement. Features like real-time traffic analytics allow retailers to optimize their store layouts and allocate staff effectively by pinpointing high-traffic areas and peak shopping times. This data-driven approach not only enhances security but also enriches the customer shopping experience.

Plug-and-Play Security Solution

Designed to be adaptable, the security system features mobile, weatherproof hardware units equipped with 25x PTZ cameras, integrated speakers, sirens, and 4G/LTE connectivity, eliminating the need for traditional Wi-Fi networks. A+ Guard offers its Total Protection plan starting at a competitive $999 per month, which includes:
