PureActiv software to provide wide-area intrusion detection with multi-sensor technology

PureTech Systems announces it has been awarded another multiple site contract for the deployment of its PureActiv Geospatial AI Video Analytics, multi-Sensor Integration, and Command and Control software. The system will provide wide-area perimeter protection at multiple power generation plants in the United States.

This award follows the earlier successful 2020 deployment of PureActiv at multiple Power Generation sites in the U.S. The system integrates PureTech’s market-leading geospatial AI Deep Learning video analytics and other sensor technologies into a seamless Common Operating Picture. The automated system is protecting miles of perimeter from unauthorized intrusion through fence-lines and turnstiles. The additional sites are scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. For security reasons, the client cannot be disclosed.

"These deployments demonstrate that our patented perimeter intrusion detection software solution can be successfully deployed on a large scale in a very short time frame" said Larry Bowe, president of PureTech Systems. "It speaks to the 15 years of investment we have made, not only in market-leading intrusion detection and classification algorithms, but also in ease of deployment and use."

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
