Leading Property Management Firm in DC Metro Area Selects Cloudastructure for Ai-Powered Security

PALO ALTO, Ca, Feb. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudastructure, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSAI) (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Cloudastructure” or the “Company”), In response to new surveillance compliance regulations in a DC Metro municipality, a leading property management firm has chosen Cloudastructure, the cloud-based AI surveillance company, to ensure compliance for its affected properties. The firm has deployed Cloudastructure’s award-winning cloud video surveillance solution across all five of its multifamily communities subject to the new requirements, ensuring they meet the latest security mandates while enhancing overall safety and monitoring capabilities.

This decision aligns with a growing trend in multifamily security compliance. In recent years, an increasing number of cities and counties—including those in Maryland, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and California—have introduced new surveillance mandates aimed at enhancing resident safety and supporting law enforcement efforts. 

By selecting Cloudastructure, the property management firm is not only seeking to ensure compliance with evolving regulations but also elevating its security standards and operational efficiency. Cloudastructure’s NextGen AI-powered surveillance solution will provide:

  • A standardized view of surveillance across all locations
  • Continuous monitoring of motion-based footage
  • Real-time alerts for potential threats
  • Automated system health checks for all cameras and hardware
  • Advanced search capabilities for rapid investigations
  • 30-day video storage with incident playlist creation

“We are delighted to welcome this respected property management firm to the Cloudastructure family,” commented Lauren O’Brien, CRO of Cloudastructure. “Their decision to implement our AI-powered security solution reflects a forward-thinking approach to multifamily security—one that prioritizes not only compliance but also operational efficiency and, most importantly, resident safety. In an era where municipalities are introducing stricter surveillance mandates, this firm is leading by example, demonstrating how innovative technology can seamlessly enhance security while supporting law enforcement efforts. By embracing next-generation AI-driven solutions, they are setting a new industry benchmark—one that will undoubtedly inspire other property managers to rethink their approach to safety, compliance, and risk mitigation.”
