What Proterisco does

Proterisco is a privately held Brazilian security solutions provider headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul. The company designs and deploys integrated remote monitoring and asset protection systems for industrial facilities, agribusiness operations, government and critical infrastructure sites, commercial establishments, extractive industries, and temporary event venues. Its portfolio addresses perimeter surveillance needs in difficult-to-access or hazardous environments through a combination of physical hardware, managed monitoring services, and tailored professional services packages. Proterisco operates a national direct sales presence with regional managers and operates without disclosed external funding or institutional investors, having evolved from the predecessor brand PROTECÇÕES BRASIL, which had been established in the Brazilian security market for over 20 years.

The product lineup comprises six offerings: the PSU (Portable Security Unit) for temporary remote surveillance; ROBCAM, an autonomous satellite-guided patrol robot with 360-degree cameras, human identification, and distance-based obstacle recognition; the DRONE air monitoring unit with Full HD and thermal imaging capabilities for fixed or autonomous pre-programmed flights; the Thermal Radar, a 360-degree heat-sensing detection system paired with an intelligent geospatial platform; the MESC (Mobile Elevating Surveillance Cabin), a self-powered trailer-mounted cabin rising to 9 meters with day/night recording; and ISS (Integrated Security System), a customized bundle combining trained dogs, alarm kits, CCTV, monitoring, and rapid response. Underlying technology relies on satellite and GPS positioning, thermal imaging, and geospatial signal classification, with no public disclosure of proprietary AI/ML algorithms.

Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales (equipment and installation), managed services (continuous remote monitoring), and professional services (customized integrated security packages). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with contracts scoped to facility requirements, equipment specifications, and site conditions. Distribution is sales-led, with regional managers covering Brazil nationally and supplemented by participation in industry events such as ISC Brasil, where the company has historically generated significant earned-media coverage from major Brazilian television networks.
