Tokyo, Japan, Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — i–PRO Co., Ltd., a global leader in professional security solutions for surveillance and public safety, today announced the latest version of its Active Guard plug–in. The AI–based plug–in can turn video management systems (VMS) into powerful search engines capable of real–time searches or deep forensic analysis. Already supported by leading VMSs including Genetec Security Center and i–PRO Video Insight, the latest version now adds support for Milestone Systems' X–Protect and i–PRO's ASM300 software, and features the industry's largest number of search attributes and new UI enhancements.
"With the addition of Milestone X–Protect, i–PRO Active Guard is now available to the major leaders in the global VMS market and will revolutionize how Security Officers conduct real time and post event searches," said Norio Hitsuishi, Global Head of Product Management at i–PRO. "These enhancements combined with the extension of our AI–capable camera line–up are creating a powerful end–to–end AI security ecosystem that allows businesses to take their security infrastructure to the next level. This latest announcement underscores i–PRO's mission as a trusted next–generation partner to make AI the new standard in the security industry."
Fast and intuitive, i–PRO Active Guard creates a more efficient and accurate AI–powered system without compromising on image quality or network performance. The plug–in integrates seamlessly into the existing UI of the VMS, appearing as just another function tab. It allows users to easily manage the AI analytics from multiple i–PRO cameras and allows users to easily set up sophisticated search parameters based on the industry's largest number of search attributes which include gender, age, clothing color, facial characteristics, vehicle color and direction, and many more.
With Active Guard, Security Officers no longer have to spend time looking at multiple screens for persons or vehicles of interest or watch hours of recorded video to search for important events. Operators can register specific characteristics in their watch lists (for instance "male wearing a red shirt and blue pants") and the VMS will send them a real–time alarm whenever a match is identified, a feature that is unique to i–PRO. This enhances real–time situational awareness and enables proactive security. The same process can be set up for fast data mining of events during forensic investigations.
The metadata is captured and analyzed by i–PRO AI network cameras at the edge, which use the powerful Ambarella SoC, reducing bandwidth and eliminating the need for expensive servers. i–PRO Active Guard is a light–load and unique in the industry in that the edge–processed AI data results are sent to the Active Guard server eliminating the requirement for additional on–premises servers. The metadata is then searched and presented in the Active Guard plugin on the client.
