The company recently launched\u00a0<em>Stellifii<\/em>, a new AI-driven, cloud-based platform designed to transform how organisations monitor, manage, and protect their sites. We spoke with\u00a0<strong>Mark Hastry<\/strong>, WCCTV\u2019s Chief Technology Officer, about how AI is reshaping security, what\u2019s next for adaptive monitoring, and why regional innovation is key to responsible AI adoption in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How is AI reshaping the way UK businesses approach security and site management?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark Hastry:<\/strong>&nbsp;AI has changed the game by allowing businesses to move from reactive to proactive management. Instead of simply recording incidents, systems like Stellifii use AI to detect patterns, anticipate risks, and alert users before problems escalate. This helps organisations make faster, data-driven decisions \u2014 not just in security, but in operations, logistics, and compliance too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where do you see the biggest gap between what AI can currently deliver and what businesses expect from it?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Expectations are understandably high, but AI isn\u2019t a magic switch. The biggest gap is context \u2014 AI can process data incredibly fast, but understanding real-world nuance still requires human oversight. Businesses often assume AI can make fully autonomous decisions, but in reality, the best outcomes come from combining automation with expert review and intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Many SMEs struggle with adopting AI-driven tools. What are the main barriers you\u2019ve seen, and how can they be overcome?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Cost and complexity are two major hurdles. Smaller firms often lack the infrastructure or confidence to deploy AI securely. Education plays a huge role here \u2014 demystifying what AI actually does, showing measurable returns, and offering modular solutions that scale with business growth. Cloud-based delivery also helps lower the barrier to entry, letting companies trial AI safely before full adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What were the main technical challenges in developing Stellifii, and how did you overcome them?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;The hardest part was ensuring scalability and interoperability. Every customer has unique hardware, network setups, and security requirements. We built Stellifii from the ground up to integrate with legacy systems while leveraging cloud scalability. Balancing performance, privacy, and usability took time, but it means the platform can now support a wide range of use cases \u2014 from small construction sites to multi-site infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you balance automation with human oversight in critical areas like surveillance and site safety?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Automation should amplify human capability, not replace it. Stellifii automates repetitive tasks like footage analysis and reporting, but final decision-making always involves human review. This approach ensures accuracy, accountability, and compliance \u2014 particularly important when dealing with public spaces or high-risk environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stellifii integrates AI with cloud-based systems. What lessons have you learned about scaling AI for businesses with different risk profiles?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Flexibility is key. Not every organisation wants or needs full automation. Some just want better visibility or predictive analytics. We learned to design AI systems that adapt to each customer\u2019s risk tolerance, data governance, and compliance framework. That adaptability has been critical to successful rollouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve worked in telecoms, consultancy, and now security technology. How has that shaped your view of applying AI to business operations?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Each industry taught me something different about trust and reliability. In telecoms, it\u2019s about uptime; in consultancy, it\u2019s about understanding business goals. In security, it\u2019s about protecting assets and people. AI sits at the intersection of all three \u2014 it\u2019s only valuable if it\u2019s accurate, transparent, and aligned with the user\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What advice would you give CTOs and tech leaders considering integrating AI into their own processes?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Start small but start smart. Focus on one workflow where AI can clearly add value and measure the impact before scaling. Don\u2019t chase trends \u2014 focus on real business needs. And always involve your teams early. Successful AI integration isn\u2019t a tech project; it\u2019s a change management exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking ahead, which industries beyond construction and security stand to gain the most from adaptive monitoring technology?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;We\u2019re already seeing strong interest from utilities, transport, and manufacturing. Any industry that relies on distributed assets or critical infrastructure can benefit from intelligent monitoring. The potential for sustainability and efficiency gains is enormous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How important is the North West tech ecosystem for companies like WCCTV?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Hugely important. Rochdale and the wider North West have a thriving network of tech talent, universities, and innovation hubs. Being based here gives us access to great people and collaborative projects, without the intensity or cost of larger city centres. The region has a real spirit of practical innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What role should regional businesses play in shaping responsible adoption of AI across the UK?<\/strong><br><strong>Mark:<\/strong>&nbsp;Regional businesses are often closer to real-world challenges \u2014 they see firsthand how AI impacts operations and communities. That perspective is invaluable. By sharing experiences and collaborating on best practices, regional firms can ensure AI develops responsibly and inclusively across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image source: WCCTV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wireless CCTV (WCCTV), based in Rochdale, Manchester is a provider of mobile surveillance technology.
