NEW YORK, USA — March 13, 2025:
Skylark Labs, a leading innovator in AI-powered security solutions, today unveiled its next-generation mobile surveillance platform, the Scout MK I AI Tower. Designed specifically for public safety applications in the United States, the Scout MK I combines cutting-edge AI technology with advanced multi-sensor capabilities to provide real-time threat detection while prioritizing privacy.
The Scout MK I is set to address the growing need for enhanced safety in public spaces, from law enforcement operations to large public events and critical infrastructure. In an era where traditional surveillance systems often struggle to balance comprehensive coverage with privacy concerns, Skylark Labs’ Scout MK I delivers an innovative solution that redefines the landscape of public safety monitoring.
The Scout MK I features a compact, telescoping design that allows it to be deployed in under an hour and extend to heights of 20-50 feet. Powered by integrated solar panels, the system can operate continuously for up to 72 hours, eliminating the need for fixed infrastructure or external power sources. This mobile surveillance tower is ideally suited for environments where fast and flexible deployment is crucial, such as construction sites, public events, and areas lacking established security infrastructure.
By integrating multiple cutting-edge technologies, including proprietary spatial sensors, multi-spectrum imaging, advanced radar, and AI-powered audio analysis, the Scout MK I provides a comprehensive security solution in a single mobile platform. The system's Kepler AI is capable of detecting a wide range of threats in real-time, including weapons, unauthorized access, violent behavior, crowd formations, and suspicious activities. Its advanced audio analysis system can also identify critical sounds like gunshots, breaking glass, and distress calls, making it a truly multifunctional tool for public safety professionals.
One of the standout features of the Scout MK I is its ability to balance effective surveillance with privacy preservation. Rather than relying on continuous video surveillance, which often raises privacy concerns, the system uses proprietary spatial sensors that protect individuals’ privacy while ensuring security. This privacy-preserving approach is particularly beneficial in sensitive locations, such as schools, parks, and protests, where law enforcement needs to ensure security without overstepping boundaries.
The system only activates visual verification when a potential threat is detected, ensuring that surveillance is targeted and data storage is minimized. This design addresses public concerns about the overreach of surveillance technology, all while maintaining robust monitoring capabilities for law enforcement.
At the heart of the Scout MK I lies Skylark Labs’ Kepler adaptive AI platform, a groundbreaking on-device intelligence system that can learn instantly from new environments. Unlike traditional AI systems that rely on pre-trained datasets, Kepler AI learns as it operates, recognizing normal patterns and identifying potential threats in real-time without requiring external data transmission. This ability to adapt to new scenarios and continuously refine threat detection capabilities ensures that the Scout MK I remains effective in an ever-evolving security landscape.
“What sets our Kepler platform apart is its ability to proactively detect threats, even before they fully manifest,” said Dr. Amarjot Singh, CEO of Skylark Labs. “The system’s adaptive intelligence continuously learns from new environments, refining its detection capabilities and dramatically reducing false positives.”
The Scout MK I is already being used by various public safety organizations across the United States, with strong early feedback from industry professionals. Greg West, a consultant at Western Hemisphere Consulting, noted, “The Scout MK I addresses the most pressing challenges in public safety—mobility, privacy protection, and adaptive intelligence. It offers a perfect blend of security, privacy, and efficiency, allowing us to build trust within the communities we serve.”
The Scout MK I AI Tower is now available for demonstration and deployment to qualified agencies, security operators, and public safety organizations across the U.S. With its ability to rapidly deploy in under 60 minutes, this solution is poised to transform how security professionals approach surveillance in public spaces.
