Knightscope K1
Stationary Security Monitoring for Fixed Access Points and High-Traffic Locations
Robots
​Other Products
Built for Always-On Fixed-Position Security Coverage
The Knightscope K1 is a stationary security device that delivers automated surveillance, threat detection, and real-time alerting from a fixed mounting point. The K1 Hemisphere variant provides 210-degree HD video coverage, license plate recognition, facial recognition capability, a strobe light, audio broadcast, and two-way intercom from a compact, mountable unit. The K1 Laser variant uses 3D LiDAR to detect, classify, and track people, vehicles, and objects with precision across adverse weather and low-light conditions. Both connect to the Knightscope Security Operations Center for remote monitoring, live alerts, and fleet-level management. Through HelloGard Intelligence, K1 units are monitored alongside mobile patrol robots and other security or operational endpoints, giving security managers a unified view of fixed and mobile coverage across the entire site.
What the K1 Covers at Every Checkpoint and Access Point
01
Fixed Access Point Monitoring
Mount the K1 at entrances, exits, gates, or checkpoints to maintain continuous HD surveillance and license plate monitoring without a staffed post
02
Lobby and Visitor Management
Run sweeping operations during active shifts, navigating around forklifts, equipment, and staff in real time without interrupting facility operations
03
Perimeter and Outdoor Surveillance
The K1 Laser monitors outdoor perimeters, parking structures, and open areas using 3D LiDAR to detect and classify people and vehicles in low-light and adverse weather conditions
04
Threat Detection and Alert
Use the K1 Hemisphere's optional facial recognition and watchlist capability to detect known or flagged individuals and push real-time alerts to your security team

What Always-On Fixed Surveillance Changes About Site Security
​Measurable gains across teams, spaces, and workflows.
Maintain continuous HD surveillance at every fixed access point without a staffed monitoring post
Detect and log license plates, faces, and access events in real time across all mounted units
Scale security coverage across your facility by mounting K1 units at every critical checkpoint
Monitor all K1 units and receive live alerts through HelloGard Intelligence and the KSOC interface
Why Fixed Coverage Is the Foundation of a Complete Security System

Continuous Coverage Without a Staffed Post
The K1 provides 24-hour surveillance, license plate logging, and alert capability from a fixed position, covering access points that would otherwise require a guard or desk attendant to monitor

Two Configurations for Different Threat Profiles
The Hemisphere handles video, intercom, and facial recognition for high-traffic access points. The Laser handles LiDAR-based detection and classification across outdoor perimeters and low-light zones. Both are managed through the same KSOC interface

Scales Across an Entire Facility
The K1 can be mounted at every access point, elevator queue, stairwell, and perimeter section of a facility, creating comprehensive fixed-point coverage that scales without adding staff

Connects to Your Existing Security Operations
The KSOC browser interface integrates K1 monitoring into your existing security workflow, giving your team live feeds, alert notifications, and fleet health visibility from one place
What Stationary Surveillance Can Do That Mobile Patrol Can't
210-Degree HD Video Coverage
Three cameras provide wide-angle, eye-level high-definition video across the coverage zone, with no blind spots at the monitored access point
Automatic License Plate Recognition
Reads and logs vehicle plates in real time, supporting access control and incident investigation without manual monitoring
Audio Broadcast and Two-Way Intercom
Broadcast pre-recorded announcements or communicate directly with people in the coverage zone through the built-in speaker and intercom system
Facial Recognition (optional)
Detects and matches faces against user-configured watchlists to identify known or flagged individuals and trigger immediate security alerts
3D LiDAR Detection (K1 Laser)
Classifies and tracks people, vehicles, and objects with precision across low-light, zero-light, and adverse weather conditions where standard cameras lose effectiveness
Flexible Mounting Options
Mounts to walls, poles, fences, light poles, stairwells, and other fixed infrastructure without requiring structural modifications
Where a Fixed Security Presence Has the Most Impact
Building Entrances and Lobbies
ATM Vestibules and EV Charging Stations
Perimeter Fencing and Stairwells
Warehouses, Loading Docks, and Ports
