In today’s ever-changing security landscape, it’s no longer enough to rely solely on traditional perimeter defenses like static cameras and sensors. AiSEC Systems, Malaysia’s official distributor of Kabam Robotics, is transforming perimeter security through their next-generation AI-powered mobile robots and hybrid security solutions.
This article juxtaposes mobile robotic patrols with fixed systems to reveal how each contributes to modern perimeter defence and why a blended approach is often the winning strategy.
What AiSEC Offers: Next‑Gen Security Robotics
AiSEC provides three core product lines from Kabam Robotics:
- KABAM Halo – An all-terrain outdoor patrol robot capable of weather-resistant operations.
- KABAM Co‑Lab Control System – A centralized platform managing multiple robots, offering AI-driven analytics and fleet coordination.
- Quadruped Go 2 – A four-legged robot designed for rugged terrains, offering enhanced stability and access.
All units are equipped with AI-powered surveillance, 24/7 continuous patrol, and seamless integration into existing security systems.
Case Study: First AI Security Robots in Malaysia
In March 2025, IJM Corporation Berhad became the first commercial building in Malaysia to deploy Kabam’s security robots Co‑Lab and Halo at Menara Prudential (TRX). This event marked a pivotal step in local adoption of autonomous perimeter monitoring.
- Co‑Lab (indoor units) can operate for ~7 hours per 2-hour charge, use lifts and smart doors, and features a telescopic camera and concierge screen. It handles indoor monitoring and directory assistance, while its AI detects smoking, faulty equipment, loitering, and unauthorised individuals.
- Halo (outdoor units) can navigate rugged terrain, withstand rain/wind/high temperatures, and includes visible deterrents like sirens and strobe lights.
From a CIF news release, group CFO Datuk Edward Chong emphasised these robots enhance human guards by eliminating blind spots and real-time threat response improving efficiency without increasing headcount or costs.
Why Fixed Systems Still Matter
Benefits of Static Cameras and Sensors
Reliability & Simplicity
Fixed cameras have been tested over decades. They offer continuous surveillance with minimal technical complexity and maintenance.
Cost‑Effective & Scalable
Static systems are generally affordable upfront and can be easily scaled to cover more zones or entrances.
Easy Integration
They integrate seamlessly with access control, alarms, lighting systems, and physical barriers making them ideal for predictable areas like entry gates.
Limitations of Static Systems
- Blind spots: Fixed view angles miss areas outside their field of view.
- No proactive response: Sensors can alert, but cannot investigate or adapt.
- Vulnerable: They are easier to tamper or disable physically.
Mobile Robots: The Advantages
Broader Coverage & Mobility
Mobile units significantly reduce blind spots. By patrolling autonomously across designated routes, they ensure consistent surveillance across large, dynamic environments like campuses, warehouses, and industrial zones.
AI‑Driven Threat Detection
Equipped with high-definition cameras, thermal sensors, and AI algorithms, AiSEC’s robots can differentiate humans, vehicles, or anomalies like loitering or equipment faults, and trigger real-time alerts.
Continuous Operation & Deterrence
Robots can run 24/7, unaffected by fatigue or shift timings. Units like Halo feature sirens and strobe lights to deter intruders actively.
Cost Efficiency Over Time
Although initial investments are higher, these robots reduce long-term labor and infrastructure costs. They free guards to focus on critical tasks by automating routine patrols and surveillance.
Potential Challenges with Mobile Robots
- Upfront Expense: High cost for procurement and setup.
- Environmental Constraints: Rugged terrain or indoor/outdoor boundaries can pose navigation issues.
- Operational Dependence: Robots rely on batteries, connectivity, and continuous software updates any interruption can impact performance.
Why Merge Fixed & Mobile for Hybrid Defence
Complementary Strengths
- Fixed systems monitor specific points continuously.
- Mobile robots patrol actively, offer AI-based detection, and investigate anomalies.
A hybrid model ensures no blind spots, consistent monitoring, and responsive coverage where needed most.
AiSEC’s Integrated Approach
AiSEC’s security solutions combine:
- KABAM Halo for outdoor perimeter patrolling.
- Quadruped Go 2 for difficult terrain and industrial zones.
- KABAM Co‑Lab for indoor surveillance and building access.
- Fixed cameras and sensors for gate-level coverage.
- Central platform for real‑time alerts, remote monitoring, and analytics.
This orchestration creates a layered security ecosystem capable of proactive and reactive threat management.
Choosing the Right Perimeter Strategy
For smart perimeter defence, consider these factors:
| Question | Consideration |
| Perimeter size & layout? | Robots suit large/open spaces; fixed systems for constrained points. |
| Threat type? | AI robots detect unusual behavior; static systems log and monitor. |
| Budget & ROI? | Fixed systems lower upfront cost; robots offer long-term savings. |
| Scalability? | Robots are portable and adaptable; fixed systems need reinstallation. |
| Environmental conditions? | Outdoor-ready robots handle weather; indoor robots navigate smart buildings. |
Future of Perimeter Security
We’re entering an era defined by AI analytics, robotic autonomy, and predictive surveillance:
- Drone patrols will complement ground robots.
- AI pattern analysis will anticipate threats before they happen.
- Smart building integration—robots using lifts, doors, sensors will become standard.
- Predictive alerts could reduce response time, leveraging data across systems.
Final Take: Evolution Over Replacement
Comparing patrol robots and sensors shows they are not mutually exclusive, they are mutually reinforcing.
- Fixed systems offer constant surveillance, low cost, and easy integration.
- Mobile robots deliver dynamic intelligence, deterrence, and broader coverage.
Forward-thinking organizations now use hybrid models, and AiSEC is pioneering this transformation in Malaysia offering tailored perimeter security solutions powered by AI, robotics, and strategic design.
