Robotics Engineering for Security Operations

No. Nestack is an engineering contractor, not a private security agency or monitoring centre. Your licensed agency or in-house team keeps guarding, watches alarms and decides every response, including calls to police. We assess routes, build integrations, rigs and fixtures, and help you measure a trial. Anyone watching a robot overnight comes from your team or licensed provider, and your counsel settles licensing questions.

We use documented interfaces: the robot maker's published API, your VMS vendor's licensed SDK, or ONVIF Profile M where both sides support it. Everything is built and tested on a test server with recorded or simulated events before it touches your live system. We hold no vendor partner status or ONVIF conformance, so the robot maker and your integrator confirm support and licensing.

A short trial cannot show that. One route over a few weeks says little about deterrence, and crime rates move for many reasons. What a trial can measure is coverage achieved, idle time, events correctly classified and acted on, interventions needed and full cost per verified patrol hour against your current rounds and cameras. Often better lighting, cameras or a clearer procedure solve it first.

Not in the starter offer. Our trials run on private premises in zones and hours the site owner approves, usually escorted by day and then supervised out of hours. Public roads, open car parks, transport stations and other public spaces need local permissions, different safety evidence and often regulator involvement. Where visitors or contractors may cross the route, we set speed, separation and stopping rules first.

No, not in this offer. Face and plate metadata are off by default in our bridges, and faces and plates are masked in trial footage. Biometric identification and watch-list matching carry high legal and privacy exposure and stay out of scope. Existing plate reading for vehicle access stays with its own supplier; we can carry the gate event itself without any identity data.

Only on the mechanical handling around them. We design tray-handling and item-presentation fixtures tested unpowered, or with your licensed staff operating the scanner under their own procedures. We never energise, modify or test an X-ray source and make no detection-performance or approval claim. Scanner approvals sit with the radiation regulator and the supplier; airport work also needs the aviation-security regulator.

You remain fully in control of them. Before any capture we agree the purpose, what may be recorded, masking, who may view it, the storage location, retention and deletion. Data is encrypted and access is logged. Layouts, schedules and procedures are handled under NDA by named engineers only. Nothing is reused or used for training models without your written consent.

The route assessment is a fixed fee once site and task are clear. Bridges, rigs and fixtures are priced by milestone, and dedicated engineers are engaged monthly after you interview them. Price depends on route length, systems involved and trial support. Each trial ends with results, failures and conditions, and our advice on whether a longer pilot is worth it; there are no outcome fees.
