RAPID CITY, S.D., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Property Meld, the leading property maintenance platform for property managers, announces its strategic integration with zInspector, highlighting its commitment to advancing property maintenance operations (PMO). This partnership marks a significant leap in unifying inspections and maintenance, enhancing efficiency while capturing reliable data for smarter maintenance decisions, naturally propelling PMO to the next level.

This partnership fits into Property Meld’s broader plan for ‘Nexus’, its initiative to bring every facet of maintenance operations together. ‘Nexus’ embodies its purpose: a connection point that eliminates inefficiencies, drives data-driven decisions, and redefines property maintenance. From vendor management to property accounting integrations, Property Meld is creating the future of property maintenance through connectivity—and the integration with zInspector’s inspection platform is helping bring that vision to life.

“Everyone knows that the property management industry continues to evolve at top speed, and data is the key to making informed decisions,” says Ray Hespen, CEO and Co-Founder of Property Meld. “With zInspector on board, we’re delivering on our promise to expand the Nexus ecosystem and give property managers the visibility they need to tackle maintenance issues head-on, and ultimately protecting investor returns.”

“At zInspector, we are dedicated to making property inspections as thorough and seamless as possible,” said Andrew Wallace, CEO and Founder of zInspector. “By integrating with Property Meld, we’re enabling property managers to take immediate action on inspection work, ensuring maintenance needs are addressed with speed and precision. This partnership represents a major step forward in how inspections and maintenance work together in the industry.”

This integration goes far beyond simply syncing zInspector’s inspection solution with Property Meld’s maintenance platform. By leveraging the data captured during every inspection, property managers gain deeper insights into their operations, allowing them to optimize workflows, reduce downtime, and ultimately boost profitability.

Additionally, Property Meld and zInspector will co-host a webinar on March 19, providing property managers with insights into how this partnership will optimize overall operational performance and the force behind a strong inspections and maintenance integration.

NEW YORK, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Skylark Labs, a leading provider of AI-powered security and safety solutions, today announced the launch of Scout MK I AI Tower, an advanced mobile surveillance system designed specifically for public safety applications within the United States. This cutting-edge system leverages Skylark Labs’ proprietary Kepler AI platform to deliver unprecedented threat detection capabilities for law enforcement agencies, public event managers, and construction site operators across America.

Following the successful deployment of the Scout MK II for border security operations, Skylark Labs has adapted its revolutionary technology to strengthen security within American communities. As public spaces face increasingly complex safety challenges—from unauthorized access at construction sites to dangerous situations at community events—conventional surveillance systems typically sacrifice either comprehensive coverage or individual privacy. The Scout MK I AI Tower integrates multiple proprietary privacy-preserving sensors with adaptive AI for rapid deployment in any environment where public safety monitoring is needed.

MOBILE MK I MONITORING PLATFORM

The Scout MK I features a compact 20-50 feet telescoping design that deploys in under an hour and operates for 72+ hours on integrated solar power, eliminating the need for fixed infrastructure or external power sources. The system integrates proprietary privacy-preserving spatial mapping technology, multi-spectrum imaging, advanced radar, and AI-powered audio analysis into a rapidly deployable tower. The system’s onboard Kepler AI can detect weapons, unauthorized access, violence, crowd formations, and destructive activities in real-time. The audio analysis system identifies critical sounds including gunshots, breaking glass, and distress calls. The system can be fully operational within 60 minutes at construction sites, public events, critical infrastructure, or remote locations without existing security infrastructure.

PROPRIETARY PRIVACY-PRESERVING MULTI-SENSOR APPROACH

The Scout MK I’s privacy-preserving design creates a crucial balance for modern policing. By using proprietary spatial sensors rather than continuous video surveillance, the system protects privacy while maintaining security effectiveness. This approach allows police departments to deploy advanced monitoring in privacy-sensitive locations, reducing both community resistance and data storage requirements. When threats are detected, targeted visual verification activates only as needed, ensuring effective response without unnecessary surveillance of law-abiding citizens.

REVOLUTIONARY ADAPTIVE INTELLIGENCE

At the heart of the Scout MK I is Skylark Labs’ groundbreaking Kepler adaptive AI platform—a breakthrough on-device intelligence system that learns instantly from new environments without pre-training, detects threats proactively through multi-sensor analysis, operates entirely on-device with no external data transmission, adapts continuously to evolving security challenges, and maintains complete functionality without internet connectivity.

“What makes our Kepler platform revolutionary is its ability to recognize potential threats before they fully manifest,” explains Dr. Amarjot Singh, CEO of Skylark Labs. “The system begins learning immediately upon deployment, identifying normal patterns and distinguishing them from potential threats without requiring massive datasets or cloud connectivity. As it encounters new scenarios, it continuously refines its detection capabilities, dramatically reducing false positives while ensuring genuine threats aren’t missed.”

PROVEN TECHNOLOGY

The Scout MK I AI Tower is already being used by public safety clients across the United States.

“As security professionals, we’re constantly balancing effectiveness against resource constraints,” notes Greg West, Western Hemisphere Consulting. “The Scout MK I’s combination of mobility, adaptive intelligence, and privacy protection solves our most pressing operational challenges while building community trust. Its ability to continuously improve threat detection while reducing false alarms addresses the fundamental limitations we’ve faced with previous technologies.”

The Scout MK I AI Tower is now available for demonstration and deployment to qualified agencies and security operators across the United States.
