Robots + People: How BotsDeploy Works with Security Firms

Security in New Zealand has a coverage problem. Sites are getting bigger, risk windows run 24/7, and every extra patrol hour costs a person on their feet in the cold at 3am.

BotsDeploy and established security firms approach this from two sides. Security firms bring guarding, monitoring and electronic security expertise. BotsDeploy brings autonomous patrol robots on a Robotics-as-a-Service model. Together, the result is simple: more eyes on site, every hour, with trained people deciding what happens next.

01 Who Does What

Each partner does what it is best at. The client gets one joined-up service.

The security firm

• Core strength: guarding, patrols, monitoring and alarm response
• Technology: CCTV, access control, intruder alarms, video management
• People: licensed guards and monitoring operators
• Commercial model: security services contracts

BotsDeploy

• Core strength: autonomous robot patrol and inspection
• Technology: DEEP Robotics Lite3 quadruped, security robot, BDOS fleet software
• People: robot deployment, setup and remote support
• Commercial model: Robotics-as-a-Service, with Lite, Patrol and Guardian tiers

02 How It Works On Site

The robot handles the routine. The security firm's people handle the response.

1. Robot patrols. It walks set routes 24/7 and records every lap.

2. Alert raised. BDOS flags an event and streams live video.

3. Firm verifies. The monitoring centre checks the feed.

4. People respond. A guard is dispatched if action is needed.

The patrol log then feeds the client's regular security report, so every hour of coverage is on record.

03 Where It Works Best

• Large venues and stadiums: overnight perimeter laps after events, with guards freed for gates and incidents.
• Industrial and utility sites: repeat inspection routes covering fences, doors, plant rooms and thermal hot spots.
• Construction sites: after-hours patrols on changing layouts, where fixed cameras leave gaps.
• Commercial precincts and car parks: a visible deterrent that reports back to the monitoring centre in real time.
• Campuses and council facilities: consistent patrol logs for compliance and insurance.

04 Why It Matters for Clients

• More coverage, same budget: robots take the repetitive laps; people take the judgement calls.
• Every patrol logged: time-stamped routes, images and anomalies, ready for audits and insurers.
• Safer for staff: fewer lone-worker hours in high-risk areas at night.
• No capex: RaaS bundles robot, software, maintenance and support into one monthly fee.
• One accountable response: alerts land with an established monitoring and response team.
