Physical Security & Surveillance
AI-powered security and surveillance for facilities that can't afford a blind spot.
From AI video analytics and access control to 24/7 monitoring and intrusion detection — Lighthouse delivers integrated physical security built for government, education, healthcare, and commercial facilities.
Analog cameras, outdated access keypads, and disconnected security systems leave your facility exposed — and give your team no way to respond in real time. Lighthouse designs and deploys integrated physical security environments that combine AI-powered video analytics, access control, and 24/7 remote monitoring into one unified, manageable system.
Working challenge
Your security cameras don’t cover the right angles, your access control credentials haven’t been audited in years, and your security team has no unified dashboard to monitor incidents as they happen. We help you move from reactive, patchwork security to a proactive, integrated physical security program with clear coverage, real-time visibility, and 24/7 monitoring.
If you want a structured way to start, we can begin with a complimentary security assessment and provide a prioritized roadmap for coverage gaps, access control upgrades, and phased remediation.
What We Deliver
Core Physical Security Services
AI-Powered Video Surveillance — DeepVision™
Traditional CCTV records what happened. DeepVision™ detects what's happening — in real time. AI-powered video analytics identify unauthorized access, loitering, perimeter breaches, and behavioral anomalies the moment they occur, triggering instant alerts before incidents escalate. Deployable across indoor and outdoor environments, DeepVision™ integrates with existing camera infrastructure or new IP camera deployments.
24/7 Remote Monitoring & Event Verification — RemoteVision™
A camera system that no one is watching is just a recording device. RemoteVision™ provides 24/7 live monitoring and event verification by trained security operators who review alerts in real time, confirm genuine threats, and dispatch response teams when needed. Strongest use case for federal facilities, MDU properties, and assisted living environments where continuous staffed monitoring is required.
Access Control & Entrance Systems — Gatewatch
Outdated key cards and unmanaged credential lists are one of the most common physical security vulnerabilities. Gatewatch delivers modern access control for facility entrances, interior zones, parking, and common areas — with centralized credential management, audit trails, and instant revocation. Strongest use case for education campuses and MDU/assisted living properties where resident and visitor access needs to be managed at scale.
Security is built into every layer of your IoT stack, from devices and gateways to cloud and applications. We focus on identity, encryption, monitoring, and compliance so you can scale IoT without increasing your attack surface.
Intrusion Detection & Perimeter Security
Motion sensors, door and window contacts, glass break detectors, and perimeter beam systems integrated into your overall security architecture. Intrusion detection events feed directly into your monitoring dashboard and trigger automated alerts — giving your team immediate visibility when a breach occurs, not hours later when reviewing footage.
Private Cellular & Wireless Site Connectivity
Physical security systems are only as reliable as the network they run on. For remote facilities, construction sites, and locations where wired infrastructure isn't practical, Lighthouse deploys private cellular and wireless connectivity that keeps cameras, access control, and monitoring systems online — even in areas where public carrier coverage is inconsistent.
GCC High Teams Direct Routing for Government Agencies
IP camera systems, network video recorders, and the structured cabling that ties them together — installed and certified to recognized standards. Every camera placement is planned using site surveys and coverage mapping to eliminate blind spots. NVR systems are configured for appropriate retention periods, remote access, and integration with your monitoring platform.
Industry Expertise
Physical Security Built for Every Environment
Federal & Government
Government facilities, military installations, and public safety environments require physical security that meets federal standards and withstands determined adversaries. We deploy AI surveillance, access control, and 24/7 SOC-monitored security for federal facilities — with personnel who hold security clearances and experience working in sensitive environments. Past performance includes Lackland Air Force Base Cryptologic & Cyber Systems Division.
Education
Campus safety requires more than cameras — it requires integrated systems that can trigger lockdowns, guide emergency response, and control access across dozens of buildings simultaneously. We deploy DeepVision™ AI surveillance and Gatewatch access control across K-12 and higher education campuses, with integrations that connect physical security to your emergency notification and communications infrastructure.
.themeht-btn.primary-btn { display: none !important; }Healthcare & Clinical Environments
Patient safety, controlled substance security, and facility access management all depend on physical security systems that work reliably in demanding clinical environments. We deploy AI video analytics, access control for sensitive areas, and 24/7 monitoring for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare campuses — designed around the specific access and compliance requirements of healthcare facilities.
.themeht-btn.primary-btn { display: none !important; }MDU & Assisted Living
Resident safety and property security require physical security systems that balance protection with a welcoming environment. We deploy camera coverage for common areas, parking, and building entrances, Gatewatch access control for resident entry and visitor management, and RemoteVision™ 24/7 monitoring — integrated into one system that property managers can oversee from a single dashboard.
Why Lighthouse for Physical Security
Veteran-Led Voice & Communications Expertise
TX Private Security Licensed
Lighthouse holds a Texas Private Security License for the installation and monitoring of security systems — a legal requirement for commercial security work in Texas that not all IT firms carry.
AI-First, Not Camera-First
We lead with AI-powered video analytics rather than passive recording, so your security investment detects threats in real time instead of documenting them after the fact.
Integrated by Design
Cameras, access control, intrusion detection, and monitoring are designed as one system — not four separate vendor engagements bolted together after the fact.

Our Work
Security Delivered. Documented. Tested Before Handoff.
Physical security engagements range from single-facility camera and access control upgrades to multi-site federal security deployments. Every project starts with a site survey and coverage assessment — identifying gaps, planning camera placement, and designing access control zones before a single cable is pulled. Installations are delivered to recognized standards, fully documented, and tested before handoff.

Answers About Our Physical Security & Surveillance Services
We assess your existing cameras, access control hardware, and cabling during a site survey and coverage review. In many cases, existing infrastructure can be extended or integrated with new AI analytics and monitoring capabilities. Where hardware is too outdated to support modern integrations, we’ll tell you clearly — with a phased replacement plan that prioritizes the highest-risk areas first.
A standard camera records what happened. DeepVision™ detects what’s happening — in real time. AI-powered video analytics identify unauthorized access, loitering, perimeter breaches, and behavioral anomalies the moment they occur, triggering instant alerts before incidents escalate. The difference is the shift from reactive documentation to proactive threat detection.
Both. Lighthouse installs and configures the full physical security system, and through RemoteVision™ we provide 24/7 live monitoring and event verification by trained operators who confirm genuine threats and coordinate response. You can choose installation-only, monitoring-only for an existing system, or both as a fully managed engagement.
Yes — and we recommend it. Physical security systems that run on isolated networks miss the benefits of centralized management, remote access, and integration with identity and access management platforms. As a full-stack IT and security firm, Lighthouse designs physical and cyber security as a converged infrastructure — not two separate systems.
Yes. We have documented past performance at Lackland Air Force Base Cryptologic & Cyber Systems Division and Harris County Utility District 15. Our team includes personnel with security clearances and experience working in sensitive government and defense environments. As a certified SDVOSB, we’re eligible for government set-aside awards for physical security work under NAICS 561621.
We start with a site survey and security assessment — reviewing your current camera coverage, access control systems, and facility layout. You’ll receive a coverage gap report and a phased security plan with clear prioritization and pricing. If you’d like, the next step is simply to request a Security Assessment and we’ll outline what a full engagement would look like for your facility.
