i-PRO Active Guard Version 3.0
i-PRO Co., Ltd. announced Version 3.0 of i-PRO Active Guard, the company's AI-powered intelligent search software.
i-PRO Active Guard is an AI-powered software application that transforms video systems from passive recording tools into proactive security and operational intelligence platforms. Built on an open architecture, the software integrates with major VMSs like Genetec, Milestone, Luxriot, and VideoInsight, allowing organizations to enhance the capabilities of their existing infrastructure.
Using metadata generated by AI-enabled i-PRO cameras at the edge (instead of transmitting full video streams), Active Guard enables real-time alerts and advanced forensic search based on attributes like clothing color, vehicle type, or detected anomalies.
This latest release introduces free text search powered by generative AI, enabling security teams to interact with video management systems (VMS) using natural language and everyday expressions for filtering instead of only predefined attributes. Security operators can now type queries, such as “fire truck,” “person who fell down,” or “electric scooter,” and receive precise results, even if those parameters were never manually tagged.
Running entirely on-premises without the need of an external internet connection, the system gives organizations complete control of their data, avoiding latency or privacy concerns associated with cloud-based processing.
i-PRO Active Guard 3.0 combines edge-processed analytics in i-PRO AI-enabled cameras with a server-based generative AI engine. Using best-shot images with metadata from i-PRO AI camera models, the system interprets user queries with precision and speed. Users do not need to replace existing i-PRO AI cameras to take advantage of this new software update.
With the X-Series camera AI processing relay feature, Active Guard 3.0 can extend GenAI search capabilities to non-AI cameras, including cameras from other manufacturers.
Version 3.0 also introduces Person Image Similarity Search using Person Re-Identification technology. Person Image Similarity Search enables operators to locate visually similar appearances within video footage, supporting investigations without relying on personal attributes or automated identification.
Active Guard Version 3.0 will be available for download from the company website in October of 2025. For more information about Active Guard and its generative AI capabilities, visit: https://i-pro.com/products_and_solutions/en/surveillance/products/new-products/i-pro-active-guard
