Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX) has announced a significant step forward in the remote video monitoring sector with the initiation of operational pilot programs for its Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent (SARA) platform.
This development involves four Remote Video Monitoring (RVM) companies, emphasizing an advancement in AITX's AI-driven security solutions.
These pilots mark a transition from initial commitments to operational deployment, potentially revolutionizing traditional monitoring methods with SARA's implementation.
Initial Deployments and Market Growth
In October, AITX revealed that 10 RVM clients had committed to licensing the SARA platform
In October, AITX revealed that 10 RVM clients had committed to licensing the SARA platform. The current pilots reflect the first phase of these planned deployments, with more expected to follow in the coming weeks.
The networks of these companies represent approximately 100,000 potential monitoring channels that could shift to utilizing SARA, contingent on successful demonstration of its reliability and scalability in live operations.
Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and its subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Group (RAD-G), stated, "SARA has moved from concept to demonstrations to non-disclosure agreements and now to live operational testing. These pilots show the industry demand for agentic AI. We’re moving fast and setting a new standard the rest of the industry will have to chase."
Global Market Prospects and Expansion
The pilots signify a small but impactful entry into the expansive global Remote Video Monitoring market, which is anticipated to include over five million active channels. AITX expects that the widening adoption of SARA will further affirm its position within this market. As more pilot phases and deployments unfold, the company aims to showcase SARA's role as a preferred option for live video monitoring technology.
The company's business model promises substantial cost reductions for businesses, offering savings of 35% to 80% compared to conventional manned security services.
RAD's suite of AI-driven solutions encompasses both stationary and mobile robotics designed to complement or replace human security tasks where automation is more efficient. All technological components, including AI analytics, are internally developed, underscoring the company's innovative capabilities in security technology.

Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., a global pioneer in AI-driven security and productivity solutions, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Group (RAD-G), announced that four Remote Video Monitoring (RVM) companies have entered operational pilot programs with SARA (Speaking Autonomous Responsive Agent), the Company’s multiple award-winning agentic AI platform set to expand the remote video monitoring industry.
These pilots represent the next major step in SARA’s rapid expansion, moving from signed commitments to live operations across the monitoring sector. These industry first movers are poised to grow market share and margins with the implementation and use of SARA in lieu of traditional monitoring methods.
Ten RVM clients
In October, the Company announced that an initial ten RVM clients had signed on to license SARA. The four companies now in operational pilot mode represent the beginning of a series of more than ten active deployments expected to roll out over the next several weeks.
Collectively, their networks encompass roughly 100,000 potential monitoring channels that could be transitioned to SARA as performance continues to demonstrate its reliability, scalability, and transformative impact on live monitoring operations.
“SARA has moved from concept to demonstrations to non-disclosure agreements and now to live operational testing,” said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO of AITX and RAD-G. “These pilots show the industry demand for agentic AI. We’re moving fast and setting a new standard the rest of the industry will have to chase.”
Global remote video monitoring market
These initial pilots represent only a fraction of the opportunity ahead. The global Remote Video Monitoring market is estimated to encompass more than five million active monitoring channels, and SARA’s growing footprint positions RAD-G at the center of that transformation.
As additional monitoring clients prepare to begin their own pilot and deployment phases, the Company expects to announce further rollouts and measurable results that reinforce SARA’s expanding role as the industry’s preferred AI platform for live video monitoring.
AITX, through its primary subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), is redefining the nearly $50 billion (US) security and guarding services industry through its broad lineup of innovative, AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service business model.
Cost savings to businesses
RAD solutions are specifically designed to provide cost savings to businesses of between 35%-80% when compared to the industry’s existing and costly manned security guarding and monitoring model.
RAD delivers these cost savings via a suite of stationary and mobile robotic solutions that complement, and at times, directly replace the need for human personnel in environments better suited for machines. All RAD technologies, AI-based analytics and software platforms are developed in-house.
Successful completion of its SOC 2 Type 2 audit
The Company’s operations and internal controls have been validated through successful completion of its SOC 2 Type 2 audit, which is a formal, independent audit that evaluates a service organization’s internal controls for handling customer data and determines if the controls are not only designed properly but also operating effectively to protect customer data.
This audit reinforces the Company’s credibility with enterprise and government clients who require strict data protection and security compliance.
Extensive expertise
RAD is led by Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and RAD, who brings decades of experience in the security services industry. Reinharz serves as chair of the Security Industry Association’s (SIA) Autonomous Solutions Working Group and as a member of the SIA Board of Directors.
