PALO ALTO, CA, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cloudastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSAI) ("we," "us," "our," "Cloudastructure" or the "Company"), an award-winning provider of AI-powered video surveillance, real-time remote monitoring, security analytics, and remote guarding services, today announced a partnership with a nationally recognized multifamily property management firm ranked among the Top 15 largest U.S. operators by the National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC). With the addition of this new operator, the Company now works with eight of the Top 15 property management companies in the United States. Following a competitive review of AI surveillance providers, the firm selected Cloudastructure's platform for deployment at a flagship luxury property in Houston, Texas. The solution, supported by a documented 98% crime deterrence rate, will replace the property's traditional physical security model and support a broader shift toward proactive, real-time protection across its Class A portfolio.

Modernizing Security Through Real-Time AI Monitoring and Intervention

Prior to selecting Cloudastructure, the operator encountered ongoing challenges with its traditional physical security approach, including inconsistent response times and limited visibility when addressing:

Trespassing from adjacent retail properties
Amenity misuse and after-hours access violations
Auto theft, vehicle break-ins, and vandalism
Labor inefficiencies tied to manual video review and incident documentation

In addition, ownership sought stronger operational intelligence, including faster access to video evidence, more effective enforcement of resident policies, and greater clarity into on-site activity.

Cloudastructure's AI-powered video surveillance and real-time remote guarding services will now deliver:

Live monitoring and intervention as incidents unfold
Automated detection of suspicious behavior and violations
Facial recognition and license plate recognition (LPR) analytics
Cloud-based video access for rapid investigations and reporting

Advanced Analytics and Flexible Deployment Drive Selection

While the operator initially sought enhanced remote monitoring, Cloudastructure's advanced AI security analytics — including facial recognition, license plate recognition, and seamless monitoring software — ultimately set the Company apart from legacy providers.

Equally important, Cloudastructure's flexible, contract-friendly deployment model was designed to align with ownership-specific operational and budget requirements, making it a key factor in the partnership decision.

AI-Powered Video Surveillance Is Becoming Standard Infrastructure for High-End Residential Portfolios

This partnership reflects accelerating adoption across institutional multifamily portfolios, driven by:

Rising liability and insurance scrutiny
Demand for real-time threat prevention
Operational efficiency through security analytics
Resident expectations for safer, well-managed communities

With Top-15 NMHC operators leading this shift, AI video surveillance and remote guarding services are rapidly becoming core components of modern property operations.

Real-Time Surveillance as a Risk Mitigation Strategy for Institutional Multifamily Operators

"Multifamily operators are moving beyond traditional guard-based models toward intelligent systems that actively deter crime and deliver measurable performance," said James McCormick, CEO of Cloudastructure. "Our AI-powered video surveillance and real-time remote guarding platform has demonstrated a 98% incident deterrence rate across monitored properties, helping ownership groups prevent incidents before they escalate rather than simply responding after the fact. In today's environment, where liability exposure, insurance scrutiny, and resident expectations continue to rise, operators need continuous visibility, defensible documentation, and actionable security analytics across their communities."

"By combining advanced AI monitoring, real-time intervention, and cloud-based investigative tools, we provide institutional portfolios with a scalable security infrastructure that enhances resident safety, strengthens policy enforcement, and improves operational efficiency, all while reducing total cost of ownership compared to traditional physical security models."
