Adds Three Communities, Increasing Deployment to Nine Properties and Accelerating Portfolio-Wide Security Modernization
PALO ALTO, CA, Feb. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudastructure (Nasdaq: CSAI), a leader in AI-powered video surveillance and remote guarding services, today announced a
As the operator continues to scale, it is prioritizing a more consistent and centrally managed approach to security. Institutional multifamily owners are increasingly moving away from fragmented legacy camera systems in favor of integrated, cloud-based platforms that deliver real-time visibility, standardized protocols, and measurable risk reduction. By deepening its engagement with Cloudastructure, the operator is aligning its portfolio with an AI-driven security model designed to enhance oversight, streamline incident response, and proactively deter crime across communities.
Why Standardization Matters
For large-scale operators, relying on fragmented legacy camera systems can lead to inconsistent coverage, disjointed policies, restricted access to critical footage, and increased liability risk. A standardized security platform enables:
- Uniform security protocols across all properties
- Centralized access to surveillance footage for regional and national leadership
- Faster incident response and reporting
- Portfolio-wide visibility into trends and risk patterns
- Scalable onboarding of future acquisitions
By implementing a unified, cloud-based AI platform across its communities, the operator is breaking down operational silos and replacing disconnected on-site systems with a centralized infrastructure designed for real-time visibility and portfolio-wide control. This approach simplifies investigations, enhances response coordination, and provides leadership with consistent, secure access to surveillance data across assets.
Centralized Remote Monitoring and Real-Time Surveillance
To execute its centralized security strategy, the operator selected Cloudastructure’s fully integrated, end-to-end platform, which combines AI-powered video surveillance, seamless cloud-based remote monitoring, and live remote guarding services into a single unified solution. Unlike legacy systems that require multiple vendors or disconnected workflows, Cloudastructure delivers a streamlined security infrastructure designed for real-time oversight and proactive intervention.
Key differentiators cited in the decision included:
- Ready, streamlined access to their surveillance footage
- Faster, more intuitive incident review and reporting
- Integrated AI analytics paired with live remote guarding
- Documented effectiveness, including a
98% crime deterrence rate
Together, these capabilities transform surveillance from a reactive recording tool into an active crime prevention solution. Cloudastructure’s AI analytics continuously monitor activity across properties, identifying suspicious behavior in real time and triggering immediate response protocols. Remote guarding agents can issue live audio warnings to deter potential threats before escalation, helping protect residents, reduce property damage, and mitigate liability risk. This proactive approach delivers measurable deterrence while providing operators with greater confidence and control across their portfolios.
AI-Powered Video Surveillance Driving Recurring Growth
The continued expansion within this institutional portfolio demonstrates Cloudastructure’s ability to deepen customer relationships and scale deployments across large multifamily operators. The platform is live at nine communities within the operator’s more than 160-property footprint, positioning the Company for continued expansion as the customer advances its security modernization strategy. As security infrastructure becomes increasingly centralized, operators are prioritizing technology partners that deliver measurable deterrence, operational efficiency, and consistent oversight across assets.
Within the multifamily sector, operators increasingly prioritize:
- Liability risk reduction
- Operational efficiency
- Centralized oversight
- Technology standardization across assets
“In virtually every other area of multifamily operations — whether it’s leasing, maintenance, or accounting — centralization has long been the standard operating model,” said Lauren O’Brien, Chief Revenue Officer of Cloudastructure. “Security has historically been the outlier, primarily because traditional video systems were cumbersome to manage and NVR-based infrastructure kept footage siloed at the property level. Our AI-powered video surveillance and integrated remote guarding platform changes that dynamic entirely. For the first time, operators can truly centralize security across their portfolios — managing, accessing, and analyzing real-time data from every community in one unified system. That level of visibility empowers leadership teams with the same operational oversight in security that they already expect in every other department.”
By combining AI-powered video surveillance with integrated remote guarding services, Cloudastructure delivers measurable deterrence while strengthening customer retention and expanding recurring revenue opportunities within large institutional portfolios. As multifamily operators continue modernizing legacy infrastructure, the shift toward centralized, cloud-based security platforms is accelerating. Cloudastructure’s ability to scale across properties within existing accounts positions the Company to capitalize on this structural transition while deepening long-term enterprise relationships across the sector.
