Actuate Selected as Strategic Partner by Verifyfaces to Deliver Advanced Facial Matching Solutions that Reduce False Alarms and Enhance Detection in Professional Video Monitoring

New York, NY  (September 29, 2025)

Actuate, a New York-based AI company specializing in computer vision solutions for remote video monitoring and security, is proud to be selected as a strategic partner by Verifyfaces, a global leader in facial verification technology trusted by security professionals worldwide. This collaboration integrates Actuate’s state-of-the-art detection analytics with Verifyfaces’ high-precision facial recognition, delivering a comprehensive solution that minimizes false alarms and enhances detection accuracy for professional video monitoring centers and integrated security ecosystems.

Actuate was chosen for its innovative machine learning algorithms, ease of integration, and alignment with modern security infrastructures. This partnership marks Actuate’s commitment to advancing collaborative AI analytics, leveraging its multi-model AI capabilities to enable real-time threat detection while safeguarding privacy and operational efficiency.

 

A Seamless, Versatile Solution

Designed for integration within existing security systems, this partnership enables deployment without additional on-site hardware. Actuate’s analytics detect events such as loitering, intrusion, or weapons, and upon trigger, send relevant face imagery—cropped faces or short video clips—to Verifyfaces for rapid identity verification. All biometric templates remain under the client’s control, ensuring data privacy and compliance with international standards.

Once Verifyfaces processes the image against a client-owned gallery—containing employees, VIPs, or persons of interest—it returns results with contextual insights like reference images, confidence scores, and matching status. Based on the verification results, the system can escalate alerts, suppress false alarms, or log events within the monitoring platform.

 

Enhanced Alarm Accuracy and Contextual Insights
This integrated approach allows security operators to receive more precise and context-rich alerts, including:
Reduced False Positives: Filtering known persons (whitelist) or authorized personnel to prevent unnecessary alarms.
Actionable Intelligence: Linking alert events with verified identities for faster, more informed responses.
Privacy Preservation: Ensuring biometric data remains under client control; media is only shared when relevant to the event.

 

Versatile Use Cases

Applications of this partnership include:

  • Filtering out authorized personnel from gun detection alarms in government or educational settings.
  • Triggering alarms only when unknown or blacklisted individuals are detected, such as during after-hours intrusions in retail or corporate environments.
  • Adjusting detection thresholds and whitelist/blacklist statuses to optimize alert relevance and operational efficiency.

“Actuate was selected for its exceptional AI quality, seamless integration capabilities, and innovative approach to real-time facial recognition,” said Ken Francis, CEO of Actuate. “This partnership extends our detection analytics into proactive security solutions, providing operators with smarter, less intrusive alerts that improve response times and reduce false alarms across various sectors.”

“Collaborating with Actuate allows us to enhance our facial verification offerings with powerful analytics,” said Michael Doherty, CEO of Verifyfaces. “Together, we’re delivering integrated solutions that enable security teams to respond faster and more accurately, all while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and operational efficiency.”
