Macnica and icetana AI-Driven Surveillance Helps Mall Security Reduce Crime, Cut Costs and Build Trust Malls and shopping centers that invest in AI surveillance like icetana help ensure a safe and welcoming environment for shoppers and tenants. Tenants value properties that take safety seriously. Shoppers choose destinations that make them feel comfortable walking to their cars. A well-protected mall builds trust, loyalty and long-term value that defines successful commercial real estate management. With AI-driven surveillance by icetana and Macnica, operators can see more, react faster and prevent losses before they occur. More importantly, they can uphold the trust that defines their relationship with tenants and shoppers.

Could AI Have Prevented the Louvre Jewelry Heist? Macnica Americas, in collaboration with icetana AI, promotes a self-learning video surveillance system that can monitor hundreds of cameras simultaneously and alert operators only when something truly unusual occurs. A single operator using icetana’s platform can effectively oversee up to 500 cameras, with the AI surfacing only the most relevant events. In the case of the Louvre jewelry heist, AI-enabled cameras might have noticed the presence of men posing as workers in yellow vests and masks in non-construction areas. The solution would have flagged the truck-mounted lift driving up to the building as an anomaly. The men being raised up on the crane would also be highlighted well before they got to the balcony. Another alert would be triggered when they were cutting the window glass.

1 Utama Mall Controls Security Costs and Expands Surveillance with AE Security and icetana AI 1 Utama, one of the biggest shopping malls in the world, and the largest in Malaysia, attracts millions of visitors each year. Spanning more than 5.5 million square feet, the mall houses hundreds of stores, restaurants and entertainment venues. With such a vast footprint and heavy daily traffic, keeping shoppers, store owners and staff safe is a complex and ongoing challenge. By integrating icetana’s self-learning AI video surveillance system, they shifted from a reactive model to a proactive one. With icetana AI, a single operator can monitor up to 500 cameras. Instead of staring at every feed, operators receive real-time alerts when the system detects unusual activities, such as loitering, aggressive movements, falls or medical emergencies.
