Your security teams can’t be everywhere at once. Staffing multiple entry points creates operating budget pressure that never ends. Athena Security’s Telepresence Security Officer uses holographic technology to project life-sized holograms of security personnel, allowing one operator to manage multiple locations simultaneously.
Highlights:
One operator secures multiple locations simultaneously
Life-sized holograms provide reassuring presence
Integrates with existing weapons detection system
Athena Security has deployed innovative technologies across government buildings, healthcare facilities, and corporate campuses since 2018. Our telepresence technology integrates with AI-powered weapons detection security, creating solutions that address both human oversight and advanced technology requirements.
Unlike traditional security staffing that requires dedicated personnel at every door, our telepresence officers combine holographic technology with AI-powered solutions for cost-effective coverage. Security teams monitor and interact with visitors across campus security locations from a single console managed center.
Our telepresence security officer solution projects security personnel as life-sized holograms at controlled entry points, creating a visible security presence without on-site staff. Government buildings, corporate campuses, and healthcare facilities use this innovative concept to enhance safety at exterior locking doors and lobbies.
The system combines advanced technology with security operations through proximity sensors, AI-powered FAQ responses, and voice activation to live security officer support. When integrated with your weapons detection system and visitor management system, telepresence officers receive real-time threat detection alerts.
Athena delivers capabilities other security solutions cannot match. Our platform addresses real-world challenges security personnel face while helping organizations meet federal compliance requirements.
Most weapons detection vendors lock you into proprietary equipment. That means limited choices and potential vendor dependence for years. Athena’s platform works with Apollo 500, Apollo 650, CEIA Opengate, Garrett, and Metrasens Ultra systems. You select hardware that matches your throughput requirements, budget constraints, and facility layout.
Athena is the only platform designed specifically around Department of Homeland Security best practices for patron screening. The system digitizes and enforces guidelines including documentation requirements, testing protocols, and secondary screening procedures. When auditors arrive, you have complete documentation.
We pioneered and patented technology that detects visitors attempting to bypass screening entirely. Traditional metal detectors only monitor the portal itself. Our computer vision algorithms monitor the entire screening area continuously. When individuals attempt to evade detection, security staff receive instant notifications. This proactive threat detection catches attempts other gun detection systems miss completely.
While competitors offer point solutions, Athena integrates weapons detection with visitor management, AI X-ray screening, telepresence security, and augmented reality alert glasses. When the X-ray system detects a threat, it automatically alerts AR glasses and triggers personalized hologram instructions. That integration creates layered security measures traditional systems cannot provide.

Organizations across critical environments face unique obstacles maintaining comprehensive security coverage. Traditional approaches require prohibitive staffing levels that strain budgets and create vulnerability gaps during shift changes or absences.
Maintaining 24/7 coverage at multiple entry points requires significant personnel budgets and creates ongoing recruitment pressure.
One operator manages multiple locations through holographic technology, reducing staffing requirements while increasing security presence.
Entry points remain unmonitored during breaks, shift changes, or unexpected absences, creating windows of vulnerability.
Telepresence officers provide continuous coverage without breaks, ensuring every entry point maintains visible security presence around the clock.
Scalable weapons detection combined with telepresence technology enables facility expansion without corresponding personnel cost increases.
Security personnel apply screening procedures differently, creating compliance gaps and potential liability exposure.
AI-powered solutions standardize visitor interactions and screening protocols across all entry points managed by telepresence officers.
Security teams monitoring multiple locations from central stations can’t physically respond fast enough to emerging threats.
Integrated AR security glasses deliver instant alerts to on-site personnel while telepresence officers coordinate response from remote positions
Heavy security presence creates unwelcoming environments that conflict with organizational culture and visitor expectations.
Life-sized holograms provide non-invasive security solutions that maintain approachable atmospheres while deterring unauthorized entry.
Costs vary based on the number of entry points, integration requirements with your existing weapons detection system, and facility size. Most organizations see ROI within 18 months through reduced staffing costs. We provide free security assessments to recommend solutions that fit your operating budget and deliver measurable savings.
Our system projects life-sized holograms that visitors perceive as actual security presence, not just cameras. Telepresence officers interact with visitors in real-time through voice and visual communication, providing both deterrence and assistance. The integration with weapons detection security and visitor management creates a proactive and robust approach that passive monitoring cannot deliver.
Yes. Our telepresence officers integrate seamlessly with existing weapons detection systems from CEIA, Apollo, Garrett, and Metrasens. The platform also connects with your visitor management system, turnstile access control, and outdoor cameras to create unified security operations from one or more locations managed by a single operator.
One security officer operating the telepresence system can effectively manage up to four entry points simultaneously. The AI handles routine visitor interactions while the operator focuses on threat detection and situations requiring human oversight. This multiplies security presence without proportional staffing increases.
The telepresence system operates seamlessly with offline capabilities for essential functions. Pre-recorded greetings and AI-powered FAQ responses continue working during connectivity issues. Critical security functions like weapons detection and access control maintain operation independently. Remote operator capabilities restore automatically when connectivity returns.
Visitors recognize the holographic projection but respond positively to the innovative concept. The life-sized holograms create a visible security presence that maintains welcoming environments while clearly communicating security awareness. Many organizations find this transparent approach more effective than concealed monitoring for deterring unauthorized entry.
Our telepresence officers support customized greetings in multiple languages based on your visitor demographics. The AI-powered solutions can respond to common questions in Spanish, Mandarin, and other languages you specify. Live operators can access translation services when handling complex visitor interactions requiring human oversight.
Security personnel receive comprehensive training covering telepresence station operation, multi-location monitoring, AR glasses technology usage, and threat response protocols. Most teams become proficient within two days. We provide ongoing support and refresher training as your security operations evolve.
Yes. Our system meets privacy requirements for government buildings, healthcare facilities, and corporate environments. The platform includes configurable recording policies, visitor notification features, and data protection controls. We help you configure settings that align with your specific compliance obligations.
Most installations complete within 2-3 weeks from contract signature. Timeline depends on integration complexity with your existing weapons detection system and facility preparation requirements. We coordinate installation during off-hours to minimize operational disruption. Your security teams begin managing multiple locations immediately after our two-day training program.
You need a platform that catches threats before they enter your facility. Athena’s AI-powered system works with the hardware you choose while adding intelligent oversight that traditional metal detectors lack. Our technology helps you meet DHS best practices, reduce staffing gaps, and document every screening for compliance auditing.
