The latest episode of the International Security Journal podcast features DeepAlert in an in-depth conversation about agentic AI and its implications for video surveillance — one of the most significant technology shifts the industry has seen.
Alarm Receiving Centres are under pressure. Alert volumes are rising, genuine threats are harder to distinguish from false positives, and operators face increasing workloads with limited resources. Mark Smuts, DeepAlert’s Head of Sales, joined Security Matters to explain how AI is directly addressing these challenges.
Retail security has always faced a particular set of challenges: high footfall, complex environments, and alert volumes that can overwhelm even experienced monitoring teams. DeepAlert’s EdgeHub is designed to address these challenges directly, delivering real-time intelligence at the edge for retail security operations.


Daniel Morrissey BSc represented DeepAlert on this bitesized edition of The Voice, British Security Industry Association (BSIA)’s podcast.
The real value of AI in security is in how well the industry understands and applies it in real world situations.
False alarm filtering was the problem that DeepAlert set out to solve — and solving it well remains central to everything we do. But the most successful surveillance operations in the years ahead will be those that go further, extracting meaningful business intelligence from the video data they are already capturing.
SMART Security Solutions convened a roundtable of surveillance and AI experts to examine the current state of the industry — and DeepAlert’s founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Dr Jasper Horrell, was among the participants.
DeepAlert invited security professionals and business leaders in the Free State to a Product Road Show on 16–17 September 2025 at Schoemanspark Golf Club in Bloemfontein — a two-day event designed to explore how AI-powered monitoring operations can transform security business performance.
The evolution from passive recording to proactive, intelligent surveillance is no longer theoretical — it is happening now. SMART Security Solutions asked DeepAlert’s Head of Sales, Mark Smuts, for an honest assessment of where AI stands today and where it is heading.
SMART Security Solutions returned to Cape Town in early 2025 for another sold-out SMART Estate Security Conference — this time at D’Aria Estate and Winery. DeepAlert was among the technology companies represented at an event that has become a leading forum for estate security professionals in the Western Cape.
Security technology is usually applied to protecting people and property. At De Hoop Nature Reserve, DeepAlert has been part of something a little different: helping protect one of South Africa’s most endangered species.
