AI-Powered Security for Tech Campuses

Your engineering teams build the future. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence protects it — detecting tailgating, firearms, and after-hours intrusions with Handlers that respond in under 15 seconds. No rip-and-replace required.

Tech Campuses Face Unique Security Risks

High-value IP, sprawling campuses, and engineering-first cultures demand security that's intelligent, integrated, and invisible.

Tailgating at Badge-Controlled Entrances

Campus environments with high foot traffic create persistent tailgating risk. Traditional badge readers can't distinguish authorized from unauthorized entry when someone follows an employee through a door.

After-Hours Vulnerability

Tech facilities house proprietary code, prototype hardware, and sensitive data. After-hours intrusions, open doors, and unauthorized persons in restricted areas create IP exposure that traditional guard patrols miss.

Alarm Noise from Large Footprints

Multi-building campuses generate thousands of Door Forced Open and Door Held Open alarms monthly. Manual triage buries operators in noise, causing genuine threats to be missed or delayed.

How Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence Solves It

Dedicated AI Handlers process each event type with domain-specific reasoning — from tailgating and weapon detection to alarm triage and after-hours monitoring.

01

Tailgating Detection

AI-powered camera analysis detects when multiple people pass through a badge-controlled door on a single credential. The Tailgating Detection Handler correlates video with access control events to confirm unauthorized entry and trigger real-time alerts.

02

Gun Detection and PACS Lockdown

The Gun Detection Handler identifies visible firearms through camera feeds, routes the event through human verification, and triggers automated PACS lockdown — all in seconds, not minutes. Purpose-built for active shooter preparedness at corporate campuses.

03

After-Hours Event Detection

Handlers detect unauthorized persons, obstructed pathways, open windows, and open doors outside business hours. Each event is classified, contextualized, and routed — protecting IP without requiring 24/7 staffed guard patrols.

04

DFO/DHO Alarm Triage

The DFO Handler and DHO Handler process thousands of door alarms per month, identifying root cause (wedged door, trash can obstruction, tailgating event) and resolving false positives autonomously — so operators only see genuine security events.

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence for Tech Campuses

AI Handlers reason through each event — from door alarms and tailgating to firearms detection and after-hours intrusions.

94% Events resolved without human escalation

<15s Average Handler response time

6,000+ Hours saved per month at a single enterprise deployment

500+ Camera streams monitored across global enterprises

Every Event. Reasoned Through.

Each Handler follows a four-stage reasoning chain — from detection to resolution — ensuring every alarm is triaged with context, not just forwarded.

1

Detect

Cameras, access control systems, and robotic endpoints feed real-time data to Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence.

2

Reason

The assigned Handler applies domain-specific logic — correlating video, access logs, schedules, and historical patterns to classify the event.

3

Act

Automated response: PACS lockdown, alert dispatch via Slack or SMS, ticket creation in ServiceNow, or escalation to a human specialist.

4

Resolve

Event is documented with root cause analysis, timestamp, and resolution status — searchable in the Investigator for auditing and reporting.

Use Cases

Campus Security and Tailgating Detection

Badge-controlled entrances at tech campuses see hundreds of entries per hour. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence uses AI-powered camera analysis to detect tailgating in real time — correlating video with access control events to confirm unauthorized entry and trigger alerts before the intruder reaches sensitive areas.

After-Hours Facility Monitoring

Tech facilities house proprietary source code, prototype hardware, and sensitive customer data. After business hours, Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence monitors for unauthorized persons, obstructed pathways, open windows, and open doors — protecting intellectual property without requiring staffed guard patrols around the clock.

Threat Detection and Active Shooter Preparedness

The Gun Detection Handler identifies visible firearms through camera feeds, routes the event through human verification, and triggers automated PACS lockdown across the campus — all within seconds. As gun detection and active shooter preparedness becomes a board-level priority at tech companies, Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence provides the speed and accuracy that manual monitoring cannot match.

Multi-Campus Centralized Monitoring

Technology companies with offices across multiple states need a single pane of glass for their security operations. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence provides centralized monitoring across geographies — with the Investigator offering filterable event views by site, date, status, root cause, and alarm category.

DFO/DHO Alarm Triage

Multi-building tech campuses generate thousands of Door Forced Open and Door Held Open alarms every month. The DFO Handler and DHO Handler process each alarm with AI reasoning — identifying whether the root cause is a trash can holding a door open, an employee propping open for a delivery, or a genuine forced entry. Up to 94% of events are resolved without human escalation.

Flexible Deployment for Any Architecture

No rip-and-replace. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence integrates with your existing security infrastructure — deployed the way your IT team prefers.

Edge Processing

On-premise Edge Processors handle camera streams locally — ideal for tech companies with strict data residency requirements or air-gapped environments. Video never leaves your network.

Cloud

Cloud-based processing for companies that want rapid deployment without on-premise hardware. Scale monitoring capacity across campuses without physical infrastructure at each site.

Hybrid

Combine edge and cloud processing. Run sensitive camera streams through local Edge Processors while routing alarm data and analytics to the cloud for centralized dashboard visibility.

Integrates with Your Enterprise Security Stack

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence connects directly to the access control, video management, ticketing, and communication tools your team already uses.

Prove ROI with Real-Time Metrics

Executive dashboards and the Investigator give your security leadership full visibility into event clearance rates, response times, alarm distribution, and top-offender doors across every campus.

Executive KPI Dashboard

Event clearance rates, average response times, and alarm volume trends at a glance. Filter by site, date range, or alarm category.

Access Control Analytics

Identify top-offender doors, recurring alarm patterns, and Door Forced Open vs. Door Held Open trends across your campus portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI detect tailgating at campus entrances?

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence uses AI-powered camera analysis at badge-controlled doors to detect when multiple people pass through on a single credential.

Can Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence detect firearms and trigger lockdown?

Yes. The Gun Detection Handler identifies visible firearms through camera feeds, routes the detection through human verification to eliminate false positives, and then triggers automated PACS lockdown.

How does after-hours monitoring work for tech campuses?

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence continuously monitors camera feeds and access control events outside business hours. Handlers detect unauthorized persons in restricted areas, obstructed pathways, open windows, open doors, and other anomalies.

Can one platform monitor multiple campuses across states?

Absolutely. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence is designed for multi-campus deployments. Each site feeds into the same centralized platform.

Does Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence integrate with ServiceNow and Slack?

Yes. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence integrates natively with ServiceNow and Salesforce for automated ticket creation.

What is the difference between video analytics and AI Handlers?

Traditional video analytics detect motion or basic object presence and generate alerts. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence Handlers go further, reasoning through each event using a Detect, Reason, Act, Resolve chain.

How does AI monitoring protect intellectual property?

Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence provides continuous AI-powered monitoring of camera feeds and access control events, detecting anomalies in real time and triggering automated responses.
