< Back Solving the Nuisance Alarm Problem with PurifAI Dec 10, 2024 Solving the Nuisance Alarm Problem with PurifAI: a Q&A with Chris Sincock, VP of Channel Development Q: Why are nuisance alarms such a significant issue for the security industry? A: Nuisance alarms present a significant challenge for the security industry, particularly for central monitoring stations. These nuisance alarms occur when systems mistakenly identify non-threatening events—such as moving shadows, animals, weather conditions, or lighting changes—as potential security breaches. This influx of nuisance alarms leads to alarm fatigue among operators, wasted resources, and delayed responses to actual threats. For central stations managing thousands of alarms daily, this situation is both costly with an average of 3 minutes for each nuisance alarm to be cleared, and dangerous as fatigued operators are more prone to miss actual alarms. Q: What makes PureTech Systems' PurifAI a game-changer for addressing nuisance alarms? A: PurifAI is an AI-driven video analytics SaaS specifically designed to combat nuisance alarms. Using patented, advanced machine learning algorithms, it reassesses alarms triggered by video motion detection and filters out nuisance events with remarkable accuracy. What’s revolutionary is its ability to nearly eliminate nuisance alarms without requiring any new hardware or on-site installation — it's a pure cloud-based solution. Q: How does PurifAI integrate with existing security systems? A: PurifAI is designed for seamless integration. It works with virtually any video surveillance system—cameras, DVRs, NVRs, and even other sensors. Since it operates in the cloud, you don’t need to invest in additional equipment or overhaul your current infrastructure. This makes it incredibly versatile and cost-effective for monitoring stations looking to improve their operations without major disruptions. If your alarm monitoring software can receive events via SMTP (email) it is a plug and play addition! For applications developers, PurifAI offers an API for sending videos and images to PurifAI and for receiving responses back indicating if the video and/or image contained an object of interest. This enables anyone building an application for any purpose to use PurifAI. Q: What are the operational benefits of using AI-boosted video analytics and why should organizations look at it? A: There are several. First, AI-boosted video analytics improves efficiency by reducing the burden of nuisance alarms, enabling monitoring stations to manage more sites without adding staff. This directly lowers operating costs. Second, when operators aren’t bombarded with meaningless alarms, they’re less fatigued and can focus on high-priority events, leading to better performance and job retention. Finally, AI-boosted video analytics’ ability to deliver reliable, verified alarms ensures swift response times to real security incidents. Q: What sets PurifAI apart from other AI-driven video analytics solutions? A: Many solutions claim to address nuisance alarms but fall short in versatility and effectiveness. PureTech Systems, the owner of PurifAI, is backed by over two decades of video for machine learning and algorithm development and stands out for its high accuracy rate, ease of deployment, and scalability. It’s a SaaS platform, which means you can scale as your needs grow without worrying about hardware limitations. Additionally, PurifAI works with alarms from any video motion detection source that can send alarms via SMTP (email), making it one of the most adaptable solutions on the market. Q: How does PurifAI support scalability for growing organizations? A: Since PurifAI is cloud-based, it’s inherently scalable. Whether you’re a small monitoring station managing a handful of sites or a large-scale operation overseeing thousands, PurifAI can adapt to your needs. The ability to add sites without the hassle of hardware upgrades makes it an ideal solution for organizations.

< Back Enhancing Critical Infrastructure Perimeter Protection through Autonomy Software Mar 26, 2024 In the realm of national and global security, safeguarding critical infrastructure is paramount. It is not just about erecting physical barriers; it is about deploying perimeter security software capable of autonomous detection, alerting, and deterring potential threats. The integration of autonomy software into existing perimeter security systems marks a significant advancement in this field and is now imperative for an effective system. The Role of Autonomy Software Integrated AI-boosted video analytics have revolutionized traditional surveillance systems, transforming them into autonomous systems. By analyzing video feeds and other sensor data in real-time, these systems effectively and autonomously detect unusual activities or intrusions along the perimeter of critical infrastructures. This technology excels at differentiating between genuine threats, benign activities and environmental noise, thereby enhancing the accuracy of threat detection further safeguarding sensitive areas. Environmental noise includes weather induced scene changes (precipitation, moving vegetation, blowing debris, cloud shadows, etc.) and lighting changes, among others. By learning environmental noise and learning from historical data, AI-boosted video analytics systems are capable of distinguishing actual threats from false or nuisance events. These systems are dynamic, continually improving their detection and noise suppression capabilities based on new data in an evolving threat landscape. The Perimeter Software Another key capability of an autonomous perimeter software system is the ability to perform Auto-verification or to “Auto-verify” potential threats. Auto-verification is a computer automated process of verifying events generated by perimeter surveillance sensors, relieving the security operator from this duty, thereby enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of security operations. Auto-verification results in a dramatic reduction of nuisance alarms. Nuisance alarm elimination is not just a matter of convenience; it is essential for maintaining the vigilance and responsiveness of security staff, also potentially reducing the need for the SOC headcount. Yet, another autonomy capability of such systems is lock-on-target PTZ following. Once the autonomous system detects, and auto-verifies a threat, it can automatically cause PTZ cameras to point at the threat and continue to follow it. This provides maximum situational understanding for operators tasked with orchestrating an intervention and collecting evidence for post event reporting. Sophisticated autonomy systems can stay locked on the threat so long as it remains in the line of sight of any of the available PTZ cameras. Another key autonomy capability is auto-deterrence. Once the system has detected and auto-verified a threat, audible and light deterrence can automatically trigger to discourage the intruder from continuing with their perimeter security violation. Such automatic audible deterrence can be sufficiently loud to discourage further perimeter penetration. Light deterrence can include bright strobe lights that disorient the intruder and cause them to stop penetrating the perimeter, giving law enforcement more time to intervene. Future-proofing Against Evolving Threats At this pivotal moment, the importance of advanced perimeter surveillance software is paramount. The versatility and ease of integration offered by modern security solutions are fundamental in enhancing existing perimeter security systems. Organizations cannot afford a wholesale replacement of existing perimeter technologies and systems. A key feature of these advanced solutions is their open architecture including support of standards such as ONVIF, allowing seamless integration with a wide array of already installed cameras, fence sensors, radars, NVRs and Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) systems. This compatibility means organizations can leverage the latest perimeter autonomy software without the need to replace their current equipment. This approach not only ensures a cost-effective upgrade but also minimizes time to deploy the new capabilities. By adopting these adaptable technologies, facilities can significantly upgrade their security posture, harnessing the power of AI to bolster their existing infrastructure protection with minimal changes to operations. In recent years, the rise in drone usage has presented a significant security challenge in protecting critical infrastructures. Enhanced accessibility and technological advancements have transformed drones into potential tools that could bypass traditional ground-based security measures resulting in far-reaching consequences. In response to these escalating threats, critical infrastructure facilities must take sophisticated security measures capable of autonomously detecting and tracking drones that threaten to or breach secure perimeters, thus keeping threats within the operators view. Autonomy software is capable of locking PTZ cameras onto the drone and keeping it in the view of operators to maximize situational awareness during such perimeter threats. Presenting this information on a GIS map elevates the system's utility, providing operators not just with alerts, but also with real-time visualizations of the threat's location, aiding in an informed and comprehensive security response. As laws permit, counter drone systems can be invoked to disable or take down the drones before they cause damage or further damage. Ensuring Reliability in Perimeter Security The reliability of perimeter security systems is non-negotiable, particularly for critical infrastructure facilities where the stakes are incredibly high. A system that maximizes system availability and continuously identifies real threats while minimizing false positives demonstrates an organization’s commitment to maintaining a secure and safe environment. This trust is crucial not just for day-to-day operations but also for upholding the reputation and integrity of the organization responsible for protecting critical infrastructure. By embracing forward-thinking solutions, they ensure that their systems are not just effective today, but also prepared for future threats. This proactive approach enhances the resilience of critical infrastructures, solidifying their defense against sophisticated challenges and ensuring their enduring safety and operational continuity.

< Back Expanding Horizons, Protecting Perimeters May 1, 2025 Interview from CEO & President, Larry Bowe to International Security Journal Written by International Security Journal; Full Page article link: Here How are global security threats shaping current trends in perimeter protection? Global threat levels have undeniably increased and we're seeing that impact ripple across every sector, especially when it comes to protecting critical infrastructure. One of the biggest wake-up calls has been the vulnerability of the US electric grid. The realization that a single transformer station can be compromised and take down power to a large part of a city is driving a renewed urgency around hardening these sites. We’re also seeing an evolution in the nature of threats. Cybersecurity continues to be a dominant concern. While it’s not our core focus, it’s intrinsically tied to the overall security conversation. Perimeter protection can no longer be siloed; physical and digital threats are increasingly intertwined. Another rising concern is the proliferation of drones. For many electric utilities, the question isn’t just if drones are flying over substations and power stations, it’s why. Are these hobbyists, bad actors or part of a larger reconnaissance effort? The ambiguity alone is driving investment in advanced detection and assessment tools. Organizations want more than alerts – they want actionable intelligence to understand intent and risk in real time. What’s clear is that the global security landscape is shifting fast. Geopolitical unrest, terrorism and new technologies are forcing organizations to rethink how they define and defend their perimeters. Even if we can’t predict every emerging threat, the appetite for proactive, integrated security solutions has never been stronger. How do you define autonomous perimeter protection today? I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about that. One useful analogy comes from the autonomous vehicle space, where there’s a well-established scale from Level 0 to Level 5 – ranging from zero autonomy to full autonomy, where the vehicle operates entirely without human input. I think that same framework applies well to perimeter protection. At Level 0, we’re talking about manual monitoring – human operators watching video feeds and responding in real-time. Full autonomy, Level 5, would mean a system that not only detects and identifies threats but also determines the appropriate response and acts on it, entirely without human intervention. We’re not quite there yet, but we’re getting closer every day. Today, I’d say we’re operating around Level 4. We can detect intrusions with a high degree of accuracy. We can instantly cue cameras to track and maintain visual on a subject, report their geolocation in real-time and even trigger automated deterrents – sirens, strobes, loudspeakers – all without a human lifting a finger. Where human oversight still plays a role is in the decision to escalate or intervene. Getting to Level 5 – true autonomy – raises some complex questions. Once a threat is detected, how do you respond? Do you deploy a robot? If so, what does that robot do? Engage? Contain? Deter? These are not just technical challenges, but ethical and operational ones as well. While full autonomy may remain just over the horizon, we’ve already built systems that dramatically reduce the burden on human operators, accelerate response times and provide unmatched situational awareness. The goal is to empower security teams to make better, faster decisions – while continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible through automation. How is AI and machine learning helping to reduce false alarms and improve detection? AI and machine learning has fundamentally reshaped what’s possible in perimeter protection particularly when it comes to reducing nuisance alarms and improving detection accuracy. At our core, we’ve always approached video analytics differently. Over a decade ago, we began transforming video streams into high-fidelity sensors making them operate more like a passive radar. This includes extracting spatial data from images to pinpoint the real-time geo-location of an intruder. That early innovation gave us a unique edge in understanding key attributes of moving objects including their actual size, speed and location in the real-world, well beyond simple motion detection. This spatial awareness allows us to filter out noise and eliminate common sources of nuisance alarms – like animals, wind-blown objects or lighting changes – because they don’t match the expected profile of a human presence. And that’s critical, because perimeter protection often involves incredibly short decision windows. In many cases, you’ve got only one or two seconds to assess and respond. From the beginning, we’ve leveraged AI principles like adaptive background learning – our patented multi-modal model continuously learns and adjusts to environmental changes, filtering out shadows, weather events and other false triggers. But about seven years ago, we took it further by layering on machine learning, specifically deep neural networks. We were one of the first in our space to train AI models on perimeter specific data. Today, we’ve amassed a vast library of human and vehicle detection examples – tens of thousands of realworld scenarios – and we continue to refine those models with a dedicated in-house team. One of the key breakthroughs has been our ability to detect targets even with minimal pixel data. Through a multi-classifier "voting" architecture, we crossreference geo-referenced size and movement data with neural network outputs. When both algorithms agree it’s a human, the confidence level is extremely high. The result? Fewer false positives, faster response times and a dramatic reduction in operator fatigue. AI isn’t just making systems smarter, it’s making security teams more effective, focused and empowered. How do you leverage technologies like video analytics, sensor fusion and geospatial intelligence? It comes down to applying the right technologies in concert – each one playing to its strengths, and together, creating a more comprehensive and reliable picture of what's happening on the ground. For example, traditional video cameras excel at detecting lateral movement – objects moving across the field of view. But they can struggle with targets approaching head-on. Radar, on the other hand, is incredibly effective at detecting direct approaches but may miss lateral movement. Then there's LiDAR, which brings precise 3D spatial awareness into the mix – mapping environments with remarkable accuracy and adding depth perception that enhances both detection and classification. The real power emerges when you fuse these sensors together. By layering their outputs – video, radar, LiDAR – you significantly reduce the chances of missed detections while also filtering out nuisance alarms. Advances in sensor affordability have made this kind of fusion not only possible, but scalable across more sites and use cases than ever before. Geospatial intelligence is what unifies it all. We’re able to continuously track and report the exact location of a moving target, even across expansive or complex environments. That level of precision enables faster, more confident response decisions – and opens the door for advanced automation. For example, drones can be autonomously tasked to follow and monitor an intruder in real time based on live geospatial data. Ultimately, it’s about giving security teams actionable, real-time intelligence, not just more data. When you combine sensor fusion with advanced analytics and geospatial awareness, you shift from reactive monitoring to proactive threat management. What’s next for you and for autonomous perimeter protection? The next frontier in autonomous perimeter protection is being shaped by the convergence of edge computing, AI and large language models – and it’s moving fast. Today, most LLMs run in the cloud, which presents challenges for high security environments where connectivity to the public internet simply isn’t viable. But that’s changing. Companies like Ambarella are pushing the boundaries by enabling these models to run directly on-chip. Once you bring advanced reasoning and contextual querying to the edge, you unlock entirely new possibilities – faster decision-making, localized intelligence and significantly more autonomous systems. It’s not just an incremental improvement; it’s a leap forward in how we think about automation and threat response. We’ve already demonstrated how automation can deliver tangible results. In one recent deployment, we helped a client reduce 90% of their nuisance alarms across hundreds of cameras and thousands of miles with substantial annual savings by streamlining infrastructure and reducing manual intervention. And that’s just the beginning. Operationally, the opportunity to automate tasks that once required constant human oversight is massive. From smart alert triaging to automated tracking and response coordination, AI will reshape not just the perimeter—but the workflows around it. We’re also seeing increased adoption of autonomous drones, which can now automatically launch, track an intruder and maintain visual and lighting coverage from above. It’s a highly effective deterrent and a powerful example of what’s possible when AI, geospatial intelligence and sensor fusion work together seamlessly. What’s next? More autonomy. Smarter systems. Better coordination across sensors and platforms. And a shift toward truly intelligent, adaptive security ecosystems that operate with minimal human input. It’s an exciting time – not just for us, but for the entire industry. We’re proud to be at the forefront of that transformation. Previous Next
