Actuate’s AI Integration with Patriot Systems to Cut Alarm Noise & Boost Video Monitoring Station Productivity

By SDM Editors

August 28, 2025

Actuate, a company in AI-driven remote video monitoring solutions, formed a strategic partnership with Patriot Systems, a company in automated alarm monitoring software. This collaboration integrates Actuate’s cloud AI capabilities with Patriot’s automation suite, enabling video monitoring centers and alarm receiving centers to reduce operator workload, enhance responsiveness, and increase effectiveness.

“Partnering with Patriot Systems reinforces our mission to deliver solutions that strengthen security operations while keeping things simple for operators,” said Ken Francis, CEO, Actuate. “By ensuring that true threats are quickly validated and eliminating alarm noise, we’re helping monitoring centers that rely on Patriot Systems to improve response times, reduce costs, and prevent operator burnout.”

This partnership allows central stations running Patriot to add Actuate’s “Intruder” analytic solutions to any event-generating camera with only a few clicks. This includes Actuate’s false positive alarm reduction and detection solutions, such as gun, intruder, loitering, crowd, and fire detection, as well as camera health monitoring and more. 

“Nuisance alarms and event spam continue to be a challenge for monitoring centers relying on legacy systems,” said Paul Hughes, global partnerships director, Patriot Systems. “This integration gives our customers a plug-and-play path to cloud-based AI that makes their teams more productive from day one.”

Key benefits for central stations include noise reduction; faster, more informed responses; simple deployment, and no requirement for tuning or training.
