Sundar Vihar Heights’ new AI security system denied entry to thirty-one residents during its first morning while opening for four former tenants and one plumber.
The plumber was recognised as a founding member. A Golden Retriever was classified as an unauthorised delivery executive, and the society treasurer was locked inside the basement garbage room.
Mrs. Rao called the launch a major success because security guards had previously made arbitrary decisions manually. “Now the same decisions are data-driven,” she told residents gathered around the boom barrier.
“Technology cannot improve if people abandon it merely because they cannot enter their homes.”
One resident attempted to request a manual override through the society app. The request was rejected because he was standing outside the approved residential geofence.
Mrs. Rao entered the administrator password “President.” Access was denied. Sharma Uncle suggested typing it again with correct intention.
A video of Mrs. Rao threatening disciplinary action against her own gate reached regional television before the gate was fixed.
The association formed an emergency committee to determine whether the people outside were residents, visitors or trespassers. The meeting was held inside.
