Intruders kept stealing water from Florida Gun Center after hours, and the cameras only recorded it. Within days of installing ROSA, the next attempt was detected, called out, and reported to police. The intruders left and never came back.
FPI Security Services deployed ROSA — a RAD ROSA™ autonomous AI security device — at Florida Gun Center in Hialeah, FL. Within days of installation, ROSA autonomously identified unauthorized individuals, announced their detection via built-in speaker, and alerted law enforcement. The subjects fled and did not return. FPI deploys autonomous security devices in large facilities across South Florida and Texas.
Florida Gun Center (FGC) has served the South Florida firearms community for over 40 years. As an established gun store and shooting range in Hialeah, FGC offers firearms sales, accessories, and professional training services.
As FGC's operations grew, so did the security demands. Managing a large firearms inventory alongside consistent daily foot traffic made advanced, accountable security essential.
Despite having traditional surveillance cameras in place, FGC faced a persistent and costly problem: unauthorized individuals were repeatedly accessing the property and stealing water, adding thousands of dollars to the monthly utility bill. Monitoring services exist to reduce response time during security incidents. FGC's cameras had no response at all.
FGC needed a solution that could act — not just record.
ROSA (Responsive Observation Security Agent) is an AI-powered autonomous security device by RAD. Cameras record. ROSA acts: it detects suspicious behavior in real time, warns intruders through its speaker, alerts authorities, and streams live video to FPI's monitoring center.
FPI Security Services recommended and implemented the RAD ROSA™ autonomous security device for exactly this challenge. FPI deploys autonomous security devices in large facilities, and ROSA closes the gap between detection and action with 24/7 AI-driven monitoring and autonomous response.
FPI mapped access points, perimeter zones, and prior theft locations, then placed ROSA for maximum coverage and a visible presence over the property and adjacent plaza. Remote monitoring centers track surveillance feeds in real time, so placement decides what they can see.
Installation did not disrupt daily operations. ROSA watched the high-risk zones from day one, with live video connected to FPI's remote monitoring center.
FPI connected ROSA to FGC's existing surveillance infrastructure and trained staff to read its AI alerts and escalation logic, with minimal changes to existing procedures.
The impact of ROSA's deployment was immediate and measurable:
| Metric | Before ROSA | After ROSA |
|---|---|---|
| Unauthorized access incidents | Recurring — multiple per month | Zero incidents post-deployment |
| Water theft / utility loss | Thousands of dollars monthly | Eliminated |
| Threat response time | None — cameras recorded only | Immediate — autonomous real-time response |
| Staff & customer safety perception | Concerns raised | Significantly improved |
| Business insights available | None | Activity tracking, analytics, and reporting enabled |
ROSA has truly transformed our approach to security at Florida Gun Center. Not only have we seen a sharp decline in theft incidents, but our utility bill has also decreased, and our customers and staff now feel much more secure knowing that ROSA is actively monitoring our premises. The peace of mind it provides is invaluable, and it's clear that ROSA has become a crucial part of our operations.
FPI offers a no-cost site assessment for autonomous security, available across South Florida and the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The output is a written recommendation — not a sales call.
