Already know what you need? Build your system →Turn the cameras you have into active deterrence.
Action-CS manufactures the Active Deterrence Unit (ADU), a customizable visual and audio response platform that works with nearly any commercial security camera. It transforms existing surveillance into a powerful tool for active deterrence, live intervention, automated messaging, and site-wide mass communication.
Your system identifies an event.
Your existing camera, VMS, or chosen third-party analytics detects loitering, intrusion, or another defined event.
The ADU makes its presence known.
High-intensity lighting and amplified, customizable warnings activate to interrupt the behavior and encourage the person to leave.
Add human response when you want it.
Connect to your preferred monitoring provider or use optional live talk-down for real-time intervention. The system can also deliver emergency and site-wide announcements.
Monitoring is optional. Action-CS manufactures and supports the equipment; monitoring services are provided by the customer’s chosen provider.
Power + connectivity

The Action-CS Light Pole Power Kit (LPPK) converts existing light poles into secure, 24/7 power and connectivity hubs for cameras, ADUs, wireless bridges, and other security equipment—without trenching or new infrastructure.
