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.

You receive a detailed proposal with ROI projections, compliance documentation, and answers to all your questions before you commit.
We install during off-hours so your facility stays fully operational. Our team integrates seamlessly with your existing security infrastructure.
Your security teams gets comprehensive training on monitoring, alerts, and compliance procedures. We stay on-site for two days post-installation and provide 24/7 support.
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.
Integration with Athena’s Security Intelligence Platform:
Athena’s Telepresence Security Officer helps organizations create a more intelligent, efficient, and connected entryway experience by combining AI-assisted visitor interaction with operational security workflow support — helping security teams do more with the resources they have without compromising screening effectiveness or visitor experience.
Athena’s Telepresence platform is designed to complement and strengthen traditional security operations by addressing one of the most common and overlooked operational vulnerabilities in entryway security — operator distraction. Traditional security models require officers to simultaneously manage active screening operations, answer routine visitor questions, provide directions, handle administrative tasks, and monitor for potential threats. Athena’s Telepresence platform helps reduce this operational burden by handling routine visitor interaction workflows so security officers can remain focused on critical security responsibilities.
Reducing Operator Distraction and Blind Moments:

Vertical-Specific Security Enhancement:
Integration with Athena’s Connected Security Intelligence Platform:
Athena’s Telepresence platform helps organizations move beyond traditional reactive security models into a more proactive, intelligent, and connected entryway security operation — where visitor interaction, screening workflows, operational intelligence, and compliance documentation work together as one unified platform
Athena’s Telepresence platform is designed to work as a connected component of Athena’s broader security intelligence platform — creating a coordinated entryway operation where visitor interaction, weapons detection alerting, screening workflows, and operator communication work together seamlessly. Rather than operating as a standalone visitor interaction tool, Telepresence is integrated into Athena’s operational security ecosystem to help security teams maintain better awareness, faster response coordination, and more intelligent entryway operations.
Connected Weapons Detection Workflow Integration:
Enhancing Operator Focus and Situational Awareness:
Athena’s Telepresence platform helps organizations create a more coordinated, intelligent, and connected entryway security operation — where visitor interaction workflows and weapons detection operations work together as one unified security intelligence platform rather than two disconnected systems
Telepresence officers receive specialized training in remote threat assessment, communication protocols, multi-location monitoring, system integration, and coordination with on-site security teams across various facility types.
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.
