AITX’s RAD Launches SCANNA to Unlock Smarter Security from Existing Cameras

 

New Solution Accelerates an Organization’s Move to AI Intelligent Security Operations

 

Detroit, Michigan, May 18, 2026 — Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCID:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today announced SCANNA™ (Security Camera Automated Network & Node Assistant), a new software solution designed to rapidly connect existing IP security cameras and Network Video Recorder systems (NVR) into RADSoC™, the Company’s advanced security operations and incident management platform. SCANNA simplifies and accelerates the integration of existing camera infrastructure into RADSoC and SARA™ driven workflows, helping small and mid-sized organizations transform passive video systems into intelligent and operationally responsive security environments without replacing existing camera investments.

 

RAD noted that organizations requiring larger scale or more sophisticated security operations center environments may benefit from the Company’s ongoing collaboration with Immix®, including SARA Alive Operating Inside Immix, which received a 2026 SIA New Products and Solutions Award in the Commercial Monitoring Solutions category at ISC West earlier this year. RAD expects SCANNA to help broaden access to intelligent AI security operations while also creating opportunities for organizations to scale into more advanced monitoring environments over time.

 

Many businesses and organizations already operate security camera systems that primarily serve as forensic tools after an incident has occurred rather than active operational security assets. SCANNA helps small and mid-sized organizations more easily access intelligent monitoring, incident management, and SARA™ driven workflows using existing camera infrastructure without the complexity and costs typically associated with advanced security operations environments.

 

“Historically, advanced security operations capabilities were largely reserved for organizations with substantial budgets, dedicated monitoring personnel, or complex command center environments,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD. “We believe AI is changing that equation. SCANNA helps make intelligent monitoring, incident management, and operational response workflows more accessible to organizations that already have camera infrastructure in place but have lacked the resources to fully operationalize it.”

 

Industry estimates suggest that hundreds of millions of IP security cameras are currently deployed worldwide, with many systems still operating primarily as passive recording tools rather than active operational security assets. RAD believes solutions like SCANNA can help organizations unlock greater value from existing infrastructure by enabling more intelligent monitoring, incident management, and AI driven security workflows without requiring significant new hardware investments.1

 

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team to learn how RAD’s solutions can support their security and operational objectives.
