Interface Systems, a pioneering managed service provider delivering business security, actionable insights, and purpose-built networks for multi-location businesses, announced it will unveil its Virtual Perimeter Guard solution at NRF PROTECT 2025.
Designed to help retailers, restaurants, and other commercial businesses reduce crime and improve outdoor security, Virtual Perimeter Guard combines AI-enabled cameras with live intervention from Interface’s U.S.-based security experts.
The solution addresses growing concerns around loitering, break-ins, and after-hours intrusions that contribute to over $100 billion in annual losses across U.S. businesses.
Proactive and scalable approach
Virtual Perimeter Guard provides firms with a proactive and scalable system to outdoor security
Virtual Perimeter Guard provides businesses with a proactive and scalable approach to outdoor security. The solution utilises AI-enabled cameras to continuously monitor designated perimeter zones for suspicious activity, including loitering and unauthorised access attempts.
When a potential threat is detected, the system initiates a multi-stage deterrence protocol, beginning with automated voice warnings and strobe light activation.
If the behaviour persists, the incident is escalated to Interface’s 5 Diamond TMA-certified interactive Security Operations Centre (iSOC), where trained security professionals conduct a live review of the situation and can dispatch police if required.
Remote voice-down capabilities
Through remote voice-down capabilities, Interface’s team can directly engage with intruders in real time and coordinate with law enforcement when necessary.
All incidents are recorded and securely archived, providing customers with video-verified evidence to support investigations and insurance claims.
Virtual Security Guard platform
The system’s modular design allows for flexible range across a wide range of exterior environments
The system’s modular design allows for flexible coverage across a wide range of exterior environments, including parking lots, back alleys, and loading docks, making it an effective deterrent and response solution for businesses with complex or high-risk outdoor areas.
Interface’s Virtual Perimeter Guard builds on Interface’s successful Virtual Security Guard platform for indoor monitoring, offering customers end-to-end protection that extends beyond the front door.
Advanced AI detection with human intelligence
“Virtual Perimeter Guard combines advanced AI detection with human intelligence to proactively stop threats,” said Steve Womer, SVP of Product at Interface Systems, adding “It’s a powerful tool for businesses looking to prevent burglaries, protect frontline staff, and improve operational safety.”
Interface’s Virtual Perimeter Guard is currently in beta testing with select customers and is expected to be widely available in August 2025. Attendees can experience a live demonstration of its key capabilities at NRF PROTECT 2025, booth #1717.
