< Back Unlocking Central Monitoring's Potential Nov 14, 2023 Central Monitoring Stations have entered a new era of efficiency, driven by the power of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML)- boosted video analytics. ML involves using advanced algorithms designed to improve performance and accuracy through experience and training data. Video analytics systems start with an initial dataset comprising of examples with defined objects, actions, or events to recognize. These labeled examples encompass a wide range of scenarios, from people walking and animals to intruders entering secured areas. This initial training phase serves as the foundation upon which a system's profound understanding of video content takes shape. Once the system is equipped with this foundational knowledge, it utilizes various techniques for feature extraction from video frames, such as object shapes and motion patterns. These features serve as the building blocks for making predictions and identifying objects or actions within the video feed. The system also selects appropriate ML algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) tailored to specific use cases like object detection, tracking, or activity recognition. But here's where the magic truly unfolds: a feedback loop, comparing these predictions with the desired to measure the accuracy of its predictions. In times where discrepancies arise, it learns, adapts, and evolves. This might look like adjusting algorithm parameters, refining feature extraction methods, or incorporating new data. This constant journey of adaptation and perpetual learning leads to improved accuracy and reliability. How Do Video Analytics Really Work? Now, picture a bustling Central Monitoring Station, where video analytics systems take in and process a steady stream of un-labelled video data from diverse sources. Drawing from learned knowledge, they effortlessly provide predictions on the presence of people, vehicles, and specific behaviors within the video feed. By harnessing the power of advanced computer vision algorithms and ML, video analytics distinguish between true security threats and nuisance/false alarms with precision. Once an object of interest is autonomously detected, the auto-verification process of said object begins. Using ML as explained above, the object will be classified and tracked, while simultaneously issuing an alarm for operators to take swift action. With PureTech Systems’ PurifAI, PureTech’s patented and award-winning AI/ML-boosted video analytics seamlessly integrates with your existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for an extensive overhaul. It's as simple as adding PurifAI to the loop to instantly transform your Central Monitoring Station. Previous Next

< Back A New Era of Perimeter Protection Sep 29, 2023 In today's interconnected and digital world, safeguarding critical infrastructure (CI) is PureTech on ISJ of paramount importance. Facilities such as airports, utilities, rapid transit systems, and seaports play a pivotal role in our society, and they provide the backbone of commerce and our economy. Threats such as crime, terrorism, weather, natural disasters, drones, and weak points in the perimeter pose risks that need to be addressed. Without a well-functioning physical security system, CI facilities can be compromised and rendered inoperable. Security breaches can result in significant damage, and economic losses. Potential impacts include power outages, data loss, operational disruptions, damage to reputation, and compliance violations. All of these consequences reinforce the importance of revolutionary, robust perimeter security. Traditional perimeter surveillance systems have long relied on human vigilance to monitor cameras and process an unmanageable quantity of nuisance alarms. To truly protect a perimeter takes extraordinary human resources and even then, protection is marginal at best. They are typically missing an array of automation and AI capability for such a serious portion of security! Enter Automation and AI-Boosted Video Analytics By leveraging the capabilities of automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced video analytics, solutions are now capable of distinguishing between normal environmental motion and benign activities and potential security breaches. AI video analytics reinforces perimeter protection by preventing or detecting illicit entry thereby averting potential disruptions to essential services. What sets automated AI-boosted video analytics apart is its ability to adapt and learn from real-world scenarios. Environmental and Machine learning algorithms enable these systems to continuously improve their accuracy in detecting threats while reducing nuisance alarms. This dynamic self-improvement mechanism ensures that security personnel can trust the alerts they receive, focusing their attention on genuine threats. Nuisance alarms are a specific type of false alarm that occur when the system triggers an alert or alarm in response to an event that is not actually a threat, but still falls within the parameters of the system's detection criteria. These types of alarms may, or may not, require action by the security team. Examples include wildlife that breaches the perimeter, moving vegetation, headlights from vehicles, or shadows cast from clouds. With modern automated and AI-boosted video analytics, most existing monitoring systems (VMS, PSIM, etc.,) can be enhanced to accurately detect, track, classify, present, and deter intrusions. The combination transforms ordinary security cameras and other sensors into autonomous, accurate, and scalable perimeter intrusion detection systems, delivering real-time situational awareness. More advanced video analytics systems can provide the geolocation of the intruder on GIS map systems for increased situational understanding. Further functions can be enabled through integration with numerous products, including but not limited to other VMS/PSIM software, ground-based RADARs, microwaves, fence, and intrusion sensors, access control, building management, and radio and other communication systems. Finally, standard management features such as policies for alarms, automated lock-down actions, self-diagnostic health monitoring, and automatic alarm routings can all be implemented. Not All Video Analytics Are the Same Processing nuisance alarms is not only timely, but also expensive. For an operator to effectively perform their job, they need a highly accurate system that will automatically distinguish between real threats and nuisance alarms, or auto-verify. At PureTech Systems, we have developed patented, automated AI-boosted geospatial video analytics algorithms and employed a range of techniques to minimize nuisance alarms. By continuously improving and testing our algorithms we provide our customers with the highest level of accuracy and reliability in perimeter protection. These algorithms are designed to automatically distinguish between real threats and normal activity. PureTech’s Auto-Verify uses Deep Learning Neural Nets to classify the detected object. If the detected objects classify as an object of interest, then and only then, is an alarm issued. Our algorithms leverage a range of factors, such as the size, shape, geo-location, and movement patterns of objects in the video feed, to determine whether an event is a real threat without the need for operator intervention. When integrated into a new or existing enterprise surveillance system, it allows for security personnel to effectively monitor their critical infrastructure facility. The advancement of automations and AI-boosted geospatial video analytics has ushered in a new era of critical infrastructure protection. An unparalleled level of detection accuracy and the elimination of nuisance alarms is vital in transforming the way we secure airports, utilities, rapid transit systems, and seaports. PureTech will be at the following shows in 2023: GSX, Intersec and DSEI. Previous Next

< Back PureTech Systems President, Larry Bowe was featured in The Last Word With… in Security Journal Americas May edition May 5, 2023 PHOENIX, Ariz - PureTech Systems President, Larry Bowe, was featured on The Last Word With... in the May edition of Security Journal Americas. His interview can be read below. Can you tell me about PureTech Systems? PureTech was founded in 2004 – we are a trusted go-to company for organizations needing to secure the perimeter of their critical operations more efficiently and effectively. We provide the most comprehensive, patented, easy to integrate, and reliable AI-boosted, geospatial video analytics and sensor fusion software solution. Our cutting-edge software turns ordinary security cameras and other sensors into autonomous, highly accurate, and scalable perimeter intrusion detection systems to deliver real-time situational awareness, enabling customers to make informed decisions quickly and effectively. We empower our clients to protect their assets, people, and critical infrastructure with confidence while lowering operational costs. What range of markets do you serve? We are typically the chosen solution for wide area and/or high-risk perimeter protection at government borders, electric utilities including distribution, nuclear power plants, passenger rail, water utilities, seaports, and airports. What makes PureTech stand out in the market? PureTech’s PureActiv Software Platform enables the highest probability of detection, with the lowest false alarm rate, by auto-verifying objects of interest using our geospatial, AI boosted video analytics. Essentially, we turn standard security cameras into high-resolution, non-transmitting radars. We deliver the best geospatial situational awareness, faster response, and lower workload due to our automation and Common Operating Picture which brings together legacy and new sensors into a homogonous Single Pane of Glass. Furthermore, we concisely and reliably automate, in real-time, intruder detection, classification and location, video streaming, notifications, and deterrence. With Longer detection ranges (fewer cameras, etc. needed) and reuse of existing sensors (cameras, radar, etc.) PureActiv lowers system acquisition costs. Operators, Agents, Guards, and Police that use PureActiv know they are using a trusted system that improves their performance. "We deliver the best geospatial situational awareness, faster response, and lower workload" Some key capabilities: PureActiv integrates with multiple manufacturers’ ground and air detection radars to locate moving objects in a geospatial range. Once detected by the radar, PureActiv automatically determines if the track is in a location of interest and if so, it controls PTZ cameras, to point at the radar track and zoom appropriately based on the range to the target. PureActiv then leverages its AI-boosted Video Analytics to automatically classify the target. When PureActiv classifies a moving object as a target of interest (person, vehicle, drone), PureActiv initiates several automated actions including: 1) Transmitting classified track metadata to the Command, Control, and Communications System, 2) Display on a GIS map, 3) Adding the track to an alarm que for prioritized handling, 4) Auto following the target with a PTZ camera, and 5) Commanding deterrent devices. Auto-following has two modes; one PureActiv commanding the PTZ camera to continuously slew to the radar track and the other; using PureActiv optical tracking algorithms to follow the target based on the video. This combination of information acts as a tremendous force multiplier by bringing the human in the loop at the appropriate time (once the target is auto verified) with high fidelity intelligence for their actions (next steps). In addition to radars, PureTech Systems is integrated with multiple sensor technologies and systems, including, but not limited to, drones for dispatch to alarms, cameras, GPS, VMS/PSIM, loud hailers, strobe/spotlights, and AIS (ship transponders) – all to provide the most cost-effective total solution possible. There are many customers that use PureActiv as their VMS or PSIM due to our exceptional geographic User Interface.
