Hotels have a duty of care that CCTV footage alone cannot satisfy. Archangel makes the difference.
AI behaviour detection built for hotels. Works across your existing cameras in bars, lobbies, lifts and corridors. Detects drink spiking, aggression and crowd anomalies before they escalate.
Two months free. No hardware. No commitment beyond the conversation.
01 / The Challenge in Hotels
Your hotel cameras record everything.
Your team cannot watch all of them.
Hotels operate 24 hours a day across dozens of zones: bars, restaurants, reception, lifts, corridors, car parks. You have cameras in all of them. What you do not have is the ability to watch all of them simultaneously.
Drink spiking is a growing concern in hotel bars. Aggression in late-night lobby areas is common in city-centre properties. Lift and corridor incidents typically go unwitnessed until the footage is reviewed the following morning. By then, your duty of care obligation has already been tested.
Martyn's Law, the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, adds a further layer. Hotels with 200 or more capacity are within scope. Standard tier venues must have basic procedures in place. Enhanced tier venues (800+) must document proportionate security measures, including how threats are detected and responded to in real time.
Insurance liability is moving in the same direction. Insurers are increasingly asking what active monitoring was in place at the time of an incident. Recorded footage that shows what happened after the fact is no longer a sufficient answer.
“Duty of care means detecting problems, not just documenting them.”
02 / Detection Capabilities
What Archangel detects in hotels
- Drink spiking-related behaviours at hotel bars: unusual leaning, object introduction, distraction patterns
- Pre-aggression indicators in lobby and reception areas: raised voices, posture changes, escalating proximity
- Crowd density anomalies in bar and restaurant areas during peak service hours
- Unauthorised access to restricted zones: staff corridors, back-of-house areas, plant rooms
- Loitering in lift lobbies and corridor areas associated with room-targeting crime
- Tailgating through access-controlled entry points and car park barriers
03 / How It Works
Four steps. No new hardware.
- 01
Connect
We integrate with your existing CCTV infrastructure. No new hardware. No rip and replace. Live in under 48 hours.
- 02
Detect
Archangel monitors your camera feeds continuously, analysing behaviour patterns in real time across every zone.
- 03
Alert
When a relevant pattern is detected, your operators receive a specific alert with context clip and location. Not a motion trigger. An actionable signal.
- 04
Learn
The system calibrates to your environment over time, reducing false positives and improving signal accuracy for your specific site.
Hotels within scope of Martyn's Law (200+ capacity) must have procedures in place before the Act is enforced in 2027. Standard tier venues need evacuation and lockdown procedures. Enhanced tier venues must document a full security plan with proportionate physical controls.
AI behaviour detection is what proportionate looks like when you are managing a 300-room hotel with a skeleton overnight security team. It does not replace your staff. It tells them exactly where to go and why, before a situation becomes a documented incident.
