Debuting at ISC West, X Tower transforms reactive surveillance into autonomous, off-grid protection for cities, campuses, and commercial environments
LAS VEGAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, at ISC West 2026, Xthings, a global leader in AIoT and smart security, is introducing X Tower, a fully autonomous Physical-AI smart tower designed to deliver proactive public safety anywhere it's needed, without trenching, wiring, or reliance on the power grid.
Traditional emergency call boxes and surveillance systems are largely reactive. They depend on manual activation and respond only after an incident occurs. Large public spaces, campuses, logistics hubs, parks, and temporary sites often lack continuous 24/7 coverage, and wired deployments are slow, complex, and infrastructure-dependent. X Tower changes that.
"Public safety infrastructure hasn't kept up with how people actually move through physical spaces," said Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management at Xthings. "X Tower doesn't just record what happened. It understands behavior in real time, classifies risk locally at the edge, and enables early intervention, all in a fully self-contained system that can be deployed within days."
From Reactive Surveillance to Proactive Protection
X Tower is a self-contained Physical-AI system that combines perception, intelligence, and action into a single autonomous platform.
Perception
Four 4K UHD low-power cameras provide true 360° coverage, while high-resolution radar enables precise motion detection and eliminates blind spots through radar + vision fusion. Always-On Video (AOV) ensures continuous awareness.
Intelligence
Edge-based AI analyzes behavior in real time and classifies activity by risk level:
- High risk: violence, intrusion, robbery, weapons
- Mid risk: loitering, illegal parking, perimeter violations
All AI decisions happen locally for speed, accuracy, privacy, and resilience, even in low-connectivity environments.
Action
When risks are detected, instant alerts and early warnings are sent to command centers. Integrated high-brightness LED lighting enhances visibility and deterrence. A one-touch SOS and assist button provides immediate two-way support. Unlike traditional systems that respond after incidents occur, X Tower enables early detection, real-time intervention, and prevention.
True Off-Grid, Zero-Infrastructure Deployment
Purpose-built for flexibility, X Tower operates independently of fixed infrastructure:
- 200W solar panel with lithium battery storage
- True off-grid, wire-free operation
- 4G/LTE connectivity with optional wired Ethernet
- NDAA-compliant architecture
- Rapid installation within days
No trenching. No grid power. No complicated integration.
Security teams can deploy a single tower in a remote area or scale across multi-site and city-wide deployments; all managed centrally through a unified command interface.
Designed for Real-World Environments
X Tower is engineered for environments where traditional wired security is impractical or cost-prohibitive, including:
- Commercial & Industrial: business parks, logistics hubs, remote yards
- Campuses: universities, schools, perimeter monitoring, emergency readiness
- Cities & Municipalities: parks, plazas, transit hubs, smart city initiatives
- Scenic & Public Spaces: tourist destinations, nature reserves, limited-infrastructure areas
Additional capabilities include environment monitoring and public phone charging, extending the tower's role beyond surveillance into community-facing safety infrastructure.
Part of the Xthings Physical-AI Ecosystem
X Tower integrates seamlessly with centralized command centers and is part of the broader Xthings Physical-AI ecosystem, alongside Xthings One and the company's portfolio of access control, biometric, and video security solutions.
The result is a unified approach to physical security: edge-first, privacy-preserving, and designed for real-world deployments at scale.
"Because safety shouldn't depend on infrastructure," Sundar added. "And intelligence shouldn't wait for emergencies. The physical world deserves AI that understands it."

Xthings Introduces X Tower: A Fully Autonomous Physical-AI Smart Tower for Proactive Public Safety
Debuting at ISC West, Xthings One replaces fragmented security tools with a single, AI-powered edge platform - no cloud dependency required
LAS VEGAS and SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- At ISC West 2026, Xthings, a global leader in AIoT and smart security, today introduced Xthings One, a modular, on-premises security command center designed for organizations seeking to unify video surveillance, access control, and workforce intelligence in a single edge platform. Xthings One unifies video surveillance, access control, time and attendance, and visitor management into a single edge-based platform, giving business owners and security teams the clarity and control that fragmented systems have long failed to deliver.
Xthings One brings cameras, access control, time tracking, and visitor management into a single on-premises command center running locally on Xthings Station edge appliances.
Xthings One runs on the Xthings Station series, a family of compact edge appliances designed to deploy the platform directly on-site. Powered by dedicated AI compute modules, the Station series processes video analytics, access events, and operational data locally, eliminating dependence on cloud infrastructure while providing a scalable foundation for unified security and operations.
For too long, SMBs have been caught between enterprise platforms that are too complex and consumer tools that don't scale. Cameras, doors, time clocks, and visitor logs live in separate systems, each with its own subscription, dashboard, and blind spots. When an incident occurs, there is no single place to see the full picture. Xthings One changes that by bringing everything into one timeline, one dashboard, and one source of truth, all running locally on Xthings Station edge appliance, powered by 25 TOPS of AI compute.
"Security for small businesses is broken, not because of hardware, but because of fragmentation," said Raj Sundar, Senior Director of Product Management at Xthings. "Xthings One gives every business a professional-grade security command center that's simple to deploy, doesn't depend on the cloud, and grows with them over time. You start with one problem and scale with confidence."
One Platform, Multiple Starting Points
Xthings One is designed so businesses can start with the problem that matters most to them, then expand as their needs evolve, all on the same system, with one learning curve.
- SecureSite (Video + Incidents): AI-powered video surveillance with detection for people, vehicles, and perimeter events. Smart zones reduce false alarms, access events are automatically linked to video, and a built-in incident workflow moves teams from detection to resolution: acknowledge, assign, resolve, and audit.
- DoorControl (Access + Audit): Enterprise-grade access control without enterprise complexity. Centralized credentials and schedules, fast employee onboarding and offboarding, compliance-ready audit logs, and life-safety integrations including fire release and offline mode.
- TimeGuard (Time + Attendance): Presence-verified time tracking that ties clock-in and clock-out to physical access and location. Flexible shift scheduling, real-time attendance visibility, and payroll-ready exports that integrate directly with existing accounting systems.
- GuestFlow (Visitor Management Add-On): A digital visitor experience with self-check-in, pre-registration, temporary access that expires automatically, and a full audit trail, giving businesses a professional front door with built-in security and compliance.
One Timeline. One Source of Truth.
What sets Xthings One apart is how it links every event – video, door access, and time records, into a single, correlated timeline. When a door opens, the nearest camera clip is automatically bookmarked. When an employee clocks in, their presence is validated against access data. When a visitor checks in, their access and video trace are logged together. No more switching between systems, no more guessing. Every event carries context.
Real-Time AI, Processed On-Device
Xthings One runs entirely on the Xthings Station series edge appliances, which provide dedicated AI compute and local storage for video, access events, and operational intelligence.
All video analytics run locally on the Xthings One edge station's 25 TOPS AI compute module; no raw video is sent to the cloud. Capabilities span three domains of intelligence: security and safety (intrusion detection, loitering, suspicious activity detection, real-time incident alerts), operational intelligence (occupancy monitoring, PPE compliance, behavior and anomaly detection), and vehicle intelligence (license plate recognition, vehicle tracking, parking and loading-zone monitoring). The on-prem architecture is designed for privacy-sensitive environments, with biometric templates for facial recognition and fingerprint authentication stored and matched locally.
A Unified Hardware Ecosystem
Xthings One supports a broad range of devices managed from a single console: access control readers, intelligent locks, and biometric attendance terminals for identity and access; ONVIF-compatible IP cameras for indoor and outdoor surveillance; turnstiles, barrier gates, and perimeter intrusion sensors for flow and perimeter control; and visitor registration kiosks for front-of-house management. The platform uses PoE connectivity to simplify installation and reduce maintenance costs.
Built for Channel Partners
Xthings One is designed with installers and integrators in mind. Faster installs through PoE and edge deployment, fewer systems to support, and a clear upsell path, from doors to video to time to visitors, make it easier to sell and easier to support. The platform delivers SMB-friendly deployment with enterprise credibility.
