Ownership Models for Security Robots | SMP Robotics

Build a scalable, high-reliability autonomous security program with SMP Robotics. Choose the security robot ownership model that fits your investment strategy, cash flow, and growth goals.

Security Robot Purchase Options: Full Ownership vs Software Subscription

For companies seeking long-term ownership and maximum control.

• The security robot and software become your asset (no recurring license fees).
• To keep systems current, activate Annual Software & Support for ongoing updates, patches, and 24/7 technical assistance.
• Ideal for enterprises that standardize across sites and forecast costs with full ownership.
• Supports seamless security robot fleet expansion using your existing procurement and IT policies.

A modern path that reduces initial investment for experienced operators.

• Available to partners with proven SMP Robotics operations; minimum order: 4 robots.
• You purchase the robot hardware plus basic low-level software for elementary functioning.
• Advanced capabilities — autopilot, analytics, intelligent services — are delivered via a quarterly robot software subscription for the robot’s entire service life.
• Subscription includes continuous feature releases, security updates, diagnostics, and 24/7 support, enabling predictable OPEX and rapid fleet expansion without large one-time costs.

Benefits Common to Both Ownership Models

• End-to-end onboarding: staff training and a joint first deployment on site.
• Enterprise integration: VMS compatibility, policy-aligned analytics, reporting.
• Scalable standards: from pilot to multi-site robotic patrol networks with consistent processes.
• Operational reliability: updates, monitoring, and support to keep your fleet mission-ready.

How to Choose the Right Model

• Prefer full asset control and CAPEX accounting?
  Full Purchase.
• Want lower upfront cost and continuous software innovation?
  Split Model with robot software subscription.
• Hybrid strategy?
  Start with a subscription on pilots, then transition mature sites to full ownership.
