New multi-sensor platform cuts false alarms, enhances detection, and transforms situational awareness across critical environmentsMarket News Updates News CommentaryNEW YORK, April 13, 2026 /CNW/ -- When mixing RF-based detection with AI video intelligence, it's kind of like giving a system two different senses instead of relying on just one. RF can pick up movement or signals even when cameras struggle—like in the dark, through walls, or in bad weather. At the same time, AI video is great at actually seeing what's going on, like identifying a person, a vehicle, or unusual behavior. When combining the two, the result is a much clearer, more reliable picture of the environment, which is exact
