PureTech upgrades surveillance software

Additional features to PureActiv 8.0 include improved GIS map-based tracking for both land- and water-based intrusions, new behaviours such as loitering and wrong direction and multi-floor user-interface navigation.

PureTech is also particularly proud of its object classification addition,which it claims can analyse objects within a video scene and classify them into their appropriate object group, such as car, truck, human, small craft, large craft, etc.

The objects are then displayed dynamically as an icon on a geo-spatial map,at the correct geographic location. The system comes with a database of pre-defined objects, but can also learn new objects.

“The ability to accurately classify an object is a critical element in providing situational awareness to our customers,” explained Eric Olson, PureTech director of product management.

“The more information we can provide the client as to the nature and characteristic of the threat, the better equipped they are to effectively react and resolve the situation.”
