AI Security Cameras Expand to Three Enoshima Beaches After Trial
After a single-beach trial last year, the AI camera system is scaling to cover three popular beaches, shifting seasonal security from human-only patrols to automated monitoring.

Assist You has installed 12 AI KIDs cameras at Higashihama, Nishihama, and Tsujido beaches in Enoshima, Kanagawa Prefecture, starting July 1, 2026. The system uses person-detection AI to reduce false alarms and operates 24/7 with infrared night vision and two-way communication. The deployment follows a 2025 pilot at Katase Nishihama with three cameras.
The cameras are sold under the name AI KIDs, priced at JPY 15,000 per month for rentals under six months or JPY 10,000 per month for longer contracts, with a JPY 5,000 initial fee plus installation costs. Each unit measures 250×180×80 mm and weighs 1.4 kg, with IP67 waterproofing, LTE connectivity, and support for remote viewing via smartphone or PC. The system is designed to detect only people, filtering out motion from wind, waves, and animals. Assist You, based in Miyazaki, handles development, sales, and installation. The project was coordinated with the Japan Security Promotion Association and local beach cooperatives.

- Nishihama Beach (Enoshima): Site of the 2025 trial with 3 cameras
