World Security Corp. (GardaWorld), an entrepreneurial-driven corporation focused on building global champions in security services, AI-enabled security technology, integrated risk management and cash automation solutions, announced the launch of ECAM, a North American provider of AI-driven surveillance technology.

ECAM combines live video surveillance technology with human expertise to deliver real-time protection with precision and vigilance. ECAM delivers intelligent security with proprietary and patented mobile and permanent remote video monitoring tailored to industries like residential communities, construction, commercial real estate, logistics, auto dealerships and critical infrastructure.

“With ECAM, we're building more than a company — we’re building a global champion business that will shape the future of surveillance and security,” said Stephan Crétier, founder, chairman, president and CEO, GardaWorld. “By combining the scalability of advanced AI with decades of operational expertise, we’ve created a platform that delivers a level of efficiency, reliability and insight unmatched in the industry. ECAM already commands the largest footprint of monitored mobile and permanent surveillance units in North America, positioning us as the emerging market leader in a rapidly expanding sector. We’ve invested aggressively to scale, innovate and unlock long-term value — with a laser focus on market share, operational excellence and sustainable growth. The opportunity in surveillance ahead is massive and ECAM is uniquely positioned to lead.”

As part of its launch, ECAM has also launched a proprietary upscaling technology and process of enhancing the resolution and quality of lower-resolution video footage using advanced algorithms. This new technology, known currently as “Integra,” is now deployed across all ECAM surveillance systems and represents a advancement in how its video surveillance footage is processed and analyzed. Unlike traditional approaches, image resolution can remain lower at origin and upscaled up to 6x for AI detection and monitoring fidelity. All of this occurs within the advanced ECAM cloud.

With up to a 40 percent boost in AI detection accuracy and a 50 percent increase in identification range, ECAM’s “Integra” tech enables earlier, more reliable threat recognition. “Integra” is designed for low resolution input from edge, but high-resolution output into cloud AI, and it delivers up to 6x greater data transmission efficiency — a game-changer for organizations seeking to scale surveillance without compromising network performance.

“ECAM enters the market at a time when customers are demanding smarter technology, faster threat detection and response and greater cost efficiency,” said Christopher Brooks, chief operating officer, ECAM. “Our deeply customer-centric model is built on operational excellence and innovative proprietary technology, developed by our own in-house R&D teams. We deliver high-performance security solutions with speed, precision and value without unnecessary complexity or overhead. By combining AI-driven innovation with deep executional and human expertise, we’re enabling our customers to scale their security smarter, respond faster and realize stronger ROI from day one.”
