  • Xthings Tower offers autonomous, off-grid Physical-AI security for public spaces, campuses, logistics hubs.
  • Features real-time behavior analysis, early risk detection, and instant alerts with edge-based AI.
  • Flexible, NDAA-compliant design enables rapid setup, centralized control, and scalable deployments.

At the ISC West 2026 event, Xthings is set to unveil its latest innovation in AI-driven security, the Xthings Tower. This advanced Physical-AI smart tower offers a proactive approach to public safety without the need for trenching, wiring, or being tied to the power grid.

Traditional security and emergency systems often rely on reactive measures, responding only after incidents occur. These limitations create coverage gaps, especially in large public areas such as campuses, logistics centers, parks, and temporary sites, where continuous 24/7 monitoring is needed but difficult to deploy with wired systems.

Advanced Motion Detection Capabilities

The Xthings Tower significantly transforms public safety infrastructure. “Public safety infrastructure hasn’t kept up with how people actually move through physical spaces,” remarked Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management at Xthings.

“Xthings Tower doesn’t just record what happened. It understands behavior in real time, classifies risk locally at the edge, and enables early intervention, all in a fully self-contained system that can be deployed within days.” The tower integrates perception, intelligence, and action, utilizing four 4K UHD low-power cameras for 360° coverage. Its high-resolution radar provides precise motion detection, working seamlessly with video for unobstructed surveillance. The Always-On Video (AOV) feature ensures the tower remains continuously aware of its surroundings.

Edge-Based Real-Time Analysis and Response

Xthings Tower’s edge-based AI technology conducts real-time behavior analysis and risk classification

Xthings Tower’s edge-based AI technology conducts real-time behavior analysis and risk classification. Risk levels range from high, which includes incidents like violence and intrusion, to mid-level risks such as loitering and illegal parking. 

This local AI processing ensures quick, accurate, and private decision-making, even in low-connectivity environments. Detection of any risk triggers instant alerts and warnings to command centers. High-brightness LED lighting enhances visibility and serves as a deterrent, while a touch-based SOS feature allows for immediate support. These capabilities facilitate early detection, proactive intervention, and prevention of incidents.

Flexible, Standalone Security Solution

Designed for standalone operation, the Xthings Tower can function independently of fixed infrastructure. It includes a 200W solar panel and lithium battery storage for true off-grid, wire-free operation, as well as 4G/LTE connectivity with an optional wired Ethernet setup, all under an NDAA-compliant architecture.

The tower’s rapid deployment capability allows it to be set up in mere days. Security teams can deploy a single tower in remote locations or scale deployments across multiple sites, all controlled via a centralized command interface.

Versatile Applications for Diverse Environments

The Xthings Tower is ideal for locations where traditional security setups are unfeasible or costly

The Xthings Tower is ideal for locations where traditional security setups are unfeasible or costly. These include cities and municipalities with parks and plazas, commercial and industrial areas like business parks and logistics hubs, scenic and public spaces such as tourist destinations and nature reserves, and educational campuses requiring perimeter monitoring and emergency readiness. Beyond surveillance, the tower also offers environmental monitoring and public phone charging, adding to its community safety infrastructure role.

As part of the Xthings Physical-AI ecosystem, the tower integrates smoothly with centralized command centers and complements existing solutions like Xthings One. It aligns with Xthings' diverse portfolio of access control, biometric, and video security solutions, offering a cohesive strategy for physical security that emphasizes edge-first processing and privacy. 

Raj Sundar concluded, “Because safety shouldn’t depend on infrastructure, and intelligence shouldn’t wait for emergencies. The physical world deserves AI that understands it.” The Xthings Tower will be featured at the Xthings booth, Stand #32061, at ISC West 2026.
