PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudastructure, Inc. ("Cloudastructure" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CSAI), an award-winning provider of AI-powered surveillance, remote monitoring, and cloud-based security analytics, today announced a six-figure agreement to deploy its AI Surveillance and Remote Guarding platform at a luxury high-rise residential tower in downtown Houston, located in one of the city's most iconic historic buildings.
