ISS - Intelligent Security Systems LATAM

What ISS - Intelligent Security Systems LATAM does

ISS - Intelligent Security Systems LATAM is a regional subsidiary of Intelligent Security Systems, a US-headquartered (Woodbridge, NJ) provider of AI-driven video intelligence platforms serving government, transportation, critical infrastructure, and enterprise customers across Latin America. The company develops and sells the SecurOS® ecosystem, a vertically integrated stack that combines proprietary Video Management System (VMS) software (SecurOS Professional, Premium, Enterprise, MCC, Dispatcher, Nexus) with purpose-built hardware sensors, including Under Vehicle Surveillance Systems (UVSS), Under Train Scanner Systems (UTSS), LPR/ANPR cameras (Motus Lite, Motus Pro, VO21), and AI analytics modules (FaceX facial recognition, Fighting Detection, Man Down, Fare Evasion, Tracking Kit). The platform unifies video, audio, and sensor data into command-and-control environments deployed in city safe-city centers, metro systems, highways, ports, correctional facilities, mining operations, banking, retail, and healthcare.

The business model is multi-stream: tiered SecurOS software licensing (subscription-style contracts), proprietary hardware sales, AI module add-on upsells, professional services for integration, and revenue from a training/certification program. Commercialization is conducted through direct enterprise field sales supported by regional offices in São Paulo, Mexico City, Miramar (FL), Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh, complemented by channel partnerships (Ingram Micro Brasil for distribution, LenelS2 for access control ecosystem integration) and certified system integrators. Contracts are quote-based, multi-year, and demo-driven, consistent with mission-critical enterprise and government procurement.

The company reports 30 years of operating history, 450,000+ deployed projects across 56 countries, and 7.2 million cameras managed under the SecurOS platform, with reference deployments including São Paulo Metro, Quintana Roo (Mexico), Tlajomulco (Mexico), Hospital General de Medellín, Fortaleza, Maringá, Peñoles, Engie, DHL, and Holiday Inn. ISS is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or revenue figures, and the company is led by CEO Aluisio Figueiredo.
