Replacing Traditional Guard-Based Models with Real-Time AI Monitoring and Intervention
PALO ALTO, CA, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudastructure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSAI) (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Cloudastructure” or the “Company”), an award-winning provider of AI-powered video surveillance, real-time remote monitoring, security analytics, and remote guarding services, today announced a partnership with a nationally recognized multifamily property management firm ranked among the Top 15 largest U.S. operators by the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC). With the addition of this new operator, the Company now works with eight of the Top 15 property management companies in the United States. Following a competitive review of AI surveillance providers, the firm selected Cloudastructure’s platform for deployment at a flagship luxury property in Houston, Texas. The solution, supported by a documented
Modernizing Security Through Real-Time AI Monitoring and Intervention
Prior to selecting Cloudastructure, the operator encountered ongoing challenges with its traditional physical security approach, including inconsistent response times and limited visibility when addressing:
- Trespassing from adjacent retail properties
- Amenity misuse and after-hours access violations
- Auto theft, vehicle break-ins, and vandalism
- Labor inefficiencies tied to manual video review and incident documentation
In addition, ownership sought stronger operational intelligence, including faster access to video evidence, more effective enforcement of resident policies, and greater clarity into on-site activity.
Cloudastructure’s AI-powered video surveillance and real-time remote guarding services will now deliver:
- Live monitoring and intervention as incidents unfold
- Automated detection of suspicious behavior and violations
- Facial recognition and license plate recognition (LPR) analytics
- Cloud-based video access for rapid investigations and reporting
Advanced Analytics and Flexible Deployment Drive Selection
While the operator initially sought enhanced remote monitoring, Cloudastructure’s advanced AI security analytics — including facial recognition, license plate recognition, and seamless monitoring software — ultimately set the Company apart from legacy providers.
Equally important, Cloudastructure’s flexible, contract-friendly deployment model was designed to align with ownership-specific operational and budget requirements, making it a key factor in the partnership decision.
AI-Powered Video Surveillance Is Becoming Standard Infrastructure for High-End Residential Portfolios
This partnership reflects accelerating adoption across institutional multifamily portfolios, driven by:
- Rising liability and insurance scrutiny
- Demand for real-time threat prevention
- Operational efficiency through security analytics
- Resident expectations for safer, well-managed communities
With Top-15 NMHC operators leading this shift, AI video surveillance and remote guarding services are rapidly becoming core components of modern property operations.
Real-Time Surveillance as a Risk Mitigation Strategy for Institutional Multifamily Operators
“Multifamily operators are moving beyond traditional guard-based models toward intelligent systems that actively deter crime and deliver measurable performance,” said James McCormick, CEO of Cloudastructure. “Our AI-powered video surveillance and real-time remote guarding platform has demonstrated a
“By combining advanced AI monitoring, real-time intervention, and cloud-based investigative tools, we provide institutional portfolios with a scalable security infrastructure that enhances resident safety, strengthens policy enforcement, and improves operational efficiency, all while reducing total cost of ownership compared to traditional physical security models.”
