Beyond the Camera: A New Era of Proactive Security

Beyond the Camera: A New Era of Proactive Security

The world of security is undergoing a major transformation. For years, traditional video surveillance systems have focused on recording incidents after they occur—providing evidence, but rarely prevention. Today, that model is changing. Businesses, property managers, and institutions are demanding smarter, faster, and more proactive ways to protect people and property.

This is why PMT Security is proud to partner with Deep Sentinel, a leader in AI-powered, live guard video monitoring. Together, we’re delivering a security solution that blends intelligent technology, human expertise, and flexible infrastructure—designed to stop crime before it happens.

From Surveillance to Prevention: The Proactive Security Advantage

At the heart of this solution is a shift away from “after-the-fact” monitoring and toward real-time intervention. Instead of reviewing footage once damage is done, this approach actively prevents incidents as they unfold.

Here’s how the proactive model works:

1. AI-Powered Threat Detection

Advanced AI continuously analyzes live video feeds to identify potential threats. Running on a local hub, the system is trained to distinguish between everyday activity—such as passing vehicles or animals—and suspicious behavior like loitering, forced entry attempts, or prowling. This dramatically reduces false alarms.

2. Instant Human Verification

When the AI flags an event, a trained Deep Sentinel security guard is alerted immediately. Within seconds, the guard reviews the live video feed and verifies whether the situation poses a real threat. This human-in-the-loop step ensures accuracy and accountability.

3. Real-Time Intervention

Once a threat is confirmed, the guard takes action in real time. Using two-way audio and audible sirens, they can challenge intruders directly—often stopping incidents before they escalate. If necessary, emergency services are contacted with verified, live information, helping reduce response times and improve outcomes.

This three-layered approach—AI detection, human verification, and immediate intervention—creates a level of protection that traditional systems simply can’t match. It’s like having a virtual security guard watching every critical area, without the cost of on-site staffing.

A Unified Security Ecosystem: Deep Sentinel and Cathexis

One of the biggest advantages of this partnership is flexibility. Many organizations already have cameras in place and don’t want to start from scratch. That’s where Cathexis comes in.

Cathexis is a powerful, open video management system designed to integrate with a wide range of camera hardware. Through this integration, Deep Sentinel’s AI and live guard monitoring can be layered onto compatible, Cathexis-managed camera systems.

The result?

  • You can extend the life and value of your existing infrastructure
  • You gain access to proactive monitoring without a full system replacement
  • Your security strategy remains scalable as your needs grow

PMT Security designs and supports these integrated deployments, ensuring the technology works together seamlessly and reliably.

Why Proactive Security Makes Sense

Organizations across commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors are turning to proactive monitoring for clear reasons:

  • Crime prevention, not just documentation – Stop incidents before damage or loss occurs
  • Fewer false alarms – AI combined with human verification eliminates unnecessary dispatches
  • Faster police response – Verified calls with live video are taken more seriously by authorities
  • Scalable design – Suitable for small sites or multi-location enterprises
  • Cost-effective protection – Comparable coverage to on-site guards at a fraction of the cost

Whether you’re protecting a business, residential property, or critical facility, proactive security offers peace of mind that reactive systems can’t provide.

A Smarter Standard for Modern Security

The partnership between PMT Security and Deep Sentinel represents more than a technology upgrade—it’s a commitment to a new standard of protection. By combining intelligent AI, professional human monitoring, and flexible system integration, we’re helping organizations move beyond surveillance and into true crime prevention.

Looking to implement proactive, live guard video monitoring for your organization or your clients?

Smarter Surveillance with CathexisVision 2025.3

Smarter Surveillance with CathexisVision 2025.3

CathexisVision continues to push the boundaries of intelligent surveillance, delivering more integrations, deeper analytics, and greater flexibility for integrators and end-users. With the release of CathexisVision 2025.3, new features and enhancements bring improvements across license plate recognition (LPR/ANPR), camera drivers, integrations, and analytics.

This update represents a significant leap forward in video management capabilities—whether you’re deploying CathexisVision in large-scale enterprise environments or at single sites that demand precision, compliance, and reliability. Below we explore the highlights of this release and what they mean for your security ecosystem.

Adaptive Recognition (AR) LPR Support

One of the standout features of CathexisVision 2025.3 is the addition of Adaptive Recognition (AR) ANPR support. A new driver, ARH ONVIF with ANPR, has been introduced specifically for AR cameras.

This is a critical update because AR cameras will not operate correctly with the standard ONVIF V2 driver. With the new ARH ONVIF driver, users gain seamless compatibility with Adaptive Recognition’s advanced LPR capabilities, ensuring accurate number plate capture and integration with CathexisVision’s database and reporting systems.

For industries that rely heavily on reliable number plate recognition—such as tolling, parking, logistics, and border security—this integration offers a robust and future-proof solution.

Updates to Axis Camera Driver

Axis continues to be a leader in network video technology, and CathexisVision 2025.3 brings key enhancements to Axis integrations:

  • Improved Failure Handling: Enhanced driver stability means that even when failure conditions occur, the system is better equipped to handle them gracefully, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuity of surveillance
  • Perimeter Defender Metadata Support: CathexisVision now supports Axis Perimeter Defender’s latest metadata request (v3.6 and later). This ensures advanced perimeter protection analytics, such as intrusion detection and motion classification, are fully available to operators.

Together, these updates improve resilience, reduce troubleshooting complexity, and give integrators more confidence when deploying Axis-powered perimeter defense solutions.

Hikvision LPR Enhancements

CathexisVision 2025.3 includes several important Hikvision ANPR upgrades, designed to expand functionality and improve usability for environments with complex vehicle monitoring needs:

  • New Camera Support: Added ANPR support for Hikvision DS-TCG406-E, broadening hardware compatibility.
  • Rich Vehicle Metadata: For compatible cameras, CathexisVision now supports the capture of vehicle type, make, model, color, and speed. This opens the door for more granular reporting and investigation, particularly in traffic management and law enforcement contexts.
  • Manual IP Entry for LPR Events: Operators can now manually specify the IP address to which the camera should deliver LPR events, giving them finer control over network configuration and integration workflows.
  • Improved Image Handling: The update also refines how CathexisVision processes images sent with ANPR events, ensuring more consistent and accurate results.

These features are a game-changer for organizations that need more than just a plate number—they need actionable intelligence on vehicles entering and leaving their facilities.

Milesight: Edge Reviewing Support

CathexisVision 2025.3 adds support for Milesight edge reviewing, which allows operators to review footage directly from Milesight cameras at the edge.

This is a powerful feature for deployments where bandwidth is limited or storage must be optimized. By leveraging on-camera reviewing, operators reduce reliance on central servers and improve efficiency in remote or resource-constrained environments.

In addition, an advanced option has been added to the Milesight driver, enabling variable pan/tilt speed control for PTZ cameras. This gives operators smoother, more precise control when tracking subjects in real time.

Other Key Highlights Include:

While LPR and camera integrations headline the release, CathexisVision 2025.3 introduces several other valuable improvements:

New Integrations

  • Siemens SiPass Access Control
  • Gallagher Command Centre REST API
  • SNMPv2c Trap Receiver

These broaden the scope of enterprise system compatibility, ensuring CathexisVision remains at the center of integrated security ecosystems.

Analytics Enhancements

  • Introduction of thermal model v3 for improved heat-based detection.
  • Updates to YOLOv4 for better object classification accuracy.

Stability & Performance Fixes

  • Improved secure camera connections (HTTPS) where passwords contain special characters.
  • Fixes for Axis PTZ presets and Hikvision ANPR event handling.
  • Carbon dashboard improvements to better reflect real-time camera status.

Together, these enhancements reduce friction for operators and integrators, delivering a more robust, accurate, and user-friendly experience.

Why CathexisVision 2025.3 Matters

Every CathexisVision update is designed with real-world deployments in mind. The 2025.3 release stands out because it focuses on strengthening edge-to-core intelligence:

  • At the edge, new drivers (AR, Axis, Hikvision, Milesight) ensure that the latest hardware innovations plug seamlessly into the Cathexis ecosystem.
  • At the core, analytics improvements, integration expansions, and system stability updates make enterprise deployments more scalable and reliable.

For organizations managing security across multiple locations, these enhancements translate into better situational awareness, reduced system downtime, and greater long-term ROI.
