How AI Video Surveillance Is Changing Crime Prevention for NJ Businesses

By Peter Milano, MA Social Science, MBA Finance, Police Trained & Insurance Investigator June 2025 5 min read

For years, video surveillance meant grainy footage reviewed after the fact. AI cameras now analyze video in real time, detect suspicious behavior before incidents occur, and alert business owners instantly.

What makes AI video different?

Traditional cameras record. AI cameras think. The difference is enormous for crime prevention.

Novacom installs 180-degree HD AI cameras with facial recognition, two-way audio, virtual barriers, and real-time behavior reporting — integrated with your access control and phone system.

Crime deterrence vs. crime documentation

Traditional CCTV is great for documentation — but AI cameras actively deter crime. Studies show visible AI surveillance systems reduce criminal incidents by up to 60%.

NJ NSGP grants may cover the cost

The New Jersey government offers "NJ NSGP Target Hardening Equipment" grants that can fund AI video surveillance upgrades. Ask Novacom about eligibility — you may be able to upgrade at little or no cost.
