The last release of PureTech Systems’ PureActiv software, version 14, adds a health monitoring dashboard, improved alarm workflow and a deep learning module.

Key features of the PureActiv 14 release include:

Map-Based Threat Assessment

  • The PureActiv map-based GUI provides a user interface with a high level of situational awareness.
  • The newly added map-based threat assessment feature correlates track data from multiple sensors (video analytics, radar, buried acoustic), and
    • Analyzes the data based on various geolocation aspects, including location, track, speed and object type in order to better assess the target, minimize false alarms and declutter the real-time display of tracks on the GIS map.

Deep Learning

  • The use of neural network software to evaluate scenes has proven effective for many types of video analytics scenarios.
  • PureActiv 14 now includes a deep learning capability, which can be applied to recognize specific objects in the video scene to enhance object classification, decrease nuisance conditions, and improve detection accuracy.

Health Monitoring Dashboard

  • PureActiv communicates with all connected surveillance system components such as cameras, radars, and fence sensors.
  • The new health monitoring dashboard included in the latest software release provides a health summary of all of the connected surveillance system components.
  • The dashboard indicates the current health of monitored software, hardware, sensors and inter-component communications using red, yellow and green indicators.
  • These status alerts can then be used to quickly identify hard‐to‐find system problems and rapidly address the root cause of failures.

Alarm Work Flow

  • Many institutions use multiple locations and a team of security professionals to monitor and react to security events.
  • For these installations, PureActiv 14 adds supervisory capability to alarm workflows, whereby alarms can be assigned to specific users, reassigned and sorted by user, type or severity.
  • Alarms that are not addressed in a pre-defined period are automatically flagged, so they may be reassigned.
  • The new capability also includes a supervisory review function for alarms and assignments.

Continued Integrations

  • As with all PureActiv releases, a wide range of 3rd party integrations have been added including camera integrations from
    • Silent Sentinel
    • Hikvision
    • KT&S Innovative
    • PVP Advanced Electro-Optical systems
    • Integration with SRC Inc and SpotterRF radars
    • US Towers integration for mobile deployment
    • OptaSense® Fiber Optic Perimeter Intrusion Detection System, and
    • Gunshot detection systems from Safety Dynamics and the SST ShotSpotter
