Software That Eliminates PACS Nuisance Alarms

While Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) are essential to control, manage and monitor entry to restricted areas within facilities, even the best of these systems often result in high volumes of nuisance alarms that quickly overwhelm security operators. PureTech addresses the nuisance alarm issue by validating access control events using its patented geospatial AI-boosted video analytics to verify the legitimacy of PACS Alarms, effectively eliminating nuisance alarms.

PureActiv transmits legitimate access control violations to your VMS, PACS, and/or PSIM systems via seamless software or hardware integrations. Additionally, PureActiv can automatically activate visual and audible alarms, lock doors, gates, and turnstiles, and command PTZ cameras to automatically track the person or vehicle violating the policy. PACS Alarms that are due to hardware issues, such as intermittent door contacts, can be routed to maintenance personnel rather than security operators for maintenance and repair actions.

This comprehensive approach delivers enhanced situational awareness and real-time automated event detection with near-zero nuisance alarms; significantly improving overall security efficacy including aiding rapid response in an era of escalating security threats and diminishing security budgets.

Supported Behaviors

The PACS Auto-Verification feature in PureActiv can auto-verify the following PACS events as real or nuisance alarms (generally caused by faulty door equipment):

  • Door forced open,

  • Door held open,

  • Piggybacking and Tailgating, and

  • Intermittent door contacts causing repeated Door Forced alarms, among others.
