Re-imagining Security and Safety

Introduction

At 56, we believe that everyone should have access to world-class physical security. 56 has built the first safety operating system for homes and businesses which leverages an interconnected network of guards and AI smart cameras to deliver an efficient safety experience to our customers. We’re doing this primarily by developing location services, machine learning and hardware running deep learning models. In the last year, we have resolved more than 2,000 SOS calls, installed 1,500 AI cameras and secured thousands of Bengalureans with the help of our platform and network of guards. Our Guardian360 platform takes signals from the connected network of the guards and smart AI cameras to deliver end to end safety experience to our users.

Our eyes and ears aren’t designed to scan an area, looking for suspicious activity. Our perception abilities are too easily manipulated, resulting in a false sense of security. Maintaining private spaces is a demanding task. Keeping an eye on the residents, visitors, customers and employees requires adequate surveillance and security. Manual monitoring of the livestream from the CCTV camera in real time is error prone and adds to cognitive fatigue. In a traditional physical security setup there is no monitoring layer over physical security guards and thus leading to zero visibility on security infrastructure which makes the traditional security eco-system reactive in nature.

We want to transform the way security and process monitoring is achieved, via deep integration between computer vision, advanced location services and real-time physical intervention. It doesn’t matter where you are: on the street, at home or at work: our connected Guardian360 platform provides our users with peace of mind round the clock. Our users also can rest assured that our safety agents are always just a few minutes away.

Safety agents on the ground, AI on the edge camera and Secure App are three main pillars that enable us to give peace of mind to our users.

56combines safety agents , machine learning and video intelligence powered by AI cameras to give users complete protection in real time. Wireless smart AI cameras run deep learning models and support advance recognition of events such as Known / Unknown visitor , Pet and Vehicle detection. Users can setup camera assisted alerts to the guards and request for “SOS” immediate assistance using our application. Network of trained and PSARA certified safety agents are assisted by clustering and dynamic patrol route allocation which ensures availability of the safety agents in a locality. Geofencing and real time video intelligence helps us to track processes and workflows . 56 seamlessly combine it all to give users a peace of mind .

Infrastructure that ingests millions of signals to keep users safe

Our Guardian360 platform uses signal from the connected network of the smart AI cameras and safety agents to deliver end to end safety experience to our users. We process more than a million events in a day. From the engineering side, we’re striving to make 56 reliability a reality 99.99% of the time for our users. With millions of events coming into our platform, it’s important to keep on top of what’s going on across the board.

Context Engine Service : Vision

AI on the edge enabled cameras can proactively detect incidents in real time. Smart AI camera powered by deep learning detect events including person , pet and vehicle with high accuracy. Real time event analysis, anomaly detection using machine learning and 24X7 camera uptime monitoring adds an extra layer of visibility which is very critical when it comes to security. Unlike traditional CCTV our platform can help to deter crimes before they escalate. Vision service assisted with AI camera also enables security related workflows for homes , businesses and apartments.

Intelligent Location Service : Cerebro

Our vision is to not only to keep our users safe in their premises but also act as their first responders whenever they are in need even if they are outside their house. It becomes super critical to monitor and track safety agents in real time . Platform assisted with clustering algorithms leverages location signals to enable risk based dynamic deployment in an area and alerts our in-house war-room team in case of any anomaly.

In case of any emergency , we use our interconnected network of safety agents and broadcast any critical information that can be useful to avert any threat in real time. At the same time we can track and monitor workflows and policies assigned to the guards in apartments and business and report them to the users.

Secure App

Secure App enables users to check and get updates on live security status of their home and their locality. It also helps user to raise “SOS” to the network of safety agents in case of security emergency . Users can also request for specific action, view feeds , play archive and approve / reject visitors. Users can check security status at home & outside , flag security threats and report incidents using app.

If a culture of problem solving resonates with you, and if you like having an impact on millions of people, you might be a great fit for 56. We’re currently hiring for a variety of technical roles, so do check out our Linkedin page for more information.
