i-PRO has launched the latest version of its award-winning Active Guard intelligent search application. Active Guard uses AI-powered metadata from i-PRO cameras to integrate with leading Video Management Systems (VMS) like Milestone and Genetec, enabling operators to conduct advanced forensic searches and receive real-time notifications of critical events.
Active Guard Version 2.0 introduces several enhancements, including stronger third-party integrations. Vaxtor’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology now allows operators to identify shipping containers, ID cards, passports, and more. Additionally, Morpho’s AI fall-detection analytics are now part of the platform, showcasing i-PRO’s commitment to expanding the role of its edge-based AI hardware beyond traditional security.
The new version also includes a timeline search feature, enabling operators to track people and vehicles across multiple cameras. Integration with Genetec and Milestone has been improved with new alarm indicators, while the dashboard now offers more advanced graphing tools for analyzing movement data from multiple cameras.
i-PRO’s edge-based AI analytics reduce the need for expensive server hardware, processing data directly within the camera for more accurate results and efficient use of bandwidth. This makes Active Guard a powerful tool for both security and operational intelligence, turning cameras into IoT sensors for monitoring business efficiency and compliance.
Active Guard Version 2.0 will be available free of charge at the end of September 2024.
