Super Rules: The Key to Smarter and More Reliable Video Analytics

Super Rules - DFUSION

Users of perimeter security systems constantly face issues with conventional alarms. Frequent false positives, endless notifications triggered by animals, shadows, or vehicles in non-critical areas, and delays in incident verification all lead to frustration and distrust. What should be a service that brings peace of mind becomes a source of annoyance and stress. There is no doubt—irrelevant alarms are a problem that must be solved by an intelligent video analytics system. Furthermore, when a real intrusion occurs, the flood of irrelevant alerts can delay the activation of security protocols, putting both property and people at risk. Users need solutions that automatically distinguish real threats from irrelevant events, enabling them to respond quickly and confidently.

This is where DFUSION comes in. It is a smart video analytics system that combines advanced artificial intelligence with the so-called Super Rules. As a result, it delivers intelligent detection of intruders and threats, while also reducing false alarms. Ultimately, it ensures that every alert is both reliable and actionable. But what value do they bring to your perimeter security strategy?

The solution to irrelevant alerts: Super Rules

Alarms generated by outdoor sensors, such as PIRs (passive infrared sensors), often cause verification difficulties for Alarm Receiving Centers (ARCs or CMS). However, what should be a service ensuring security can become an inconvenience for both the operator and the end user. Why does this happen? Alarm signals from installations with multiple PIRs are “blind” alarms: they indicate that something has been detected, but they don’t provide enough visual information to verify the alarm’s origin. At best, the ARC operator can connect to a passive CCTV system and try to identify the cause. This can lead to problems such as annoying the user with false positives or, worse, delaying the activation of a security protocol during a real intrusion.

To address these issues, our intelligent video analytics system uses Super Rules, an advanced combination of customized rules that integrate multiple technologies and conditions to achieve maximum detection accuracy. The idea is simple: it’s not enough for a PIR to trigger an alarm; the system simultaneously validates it with intelligent video analysis, drastically reducing false alarms and speeding up verification at the CMS.

How DFUSION’s Super Rules work

DFUSION’s Super Rules are advanced video analytics rules that allow for defining complex and contextual behaviors for detecting intruders and threats. They go beyond “if something happens, trigger alarm” by combining multiple conditions to distinguish real situations from false alarms.

For example, it’s possible to define a rule such as: “I want to detect a vehicle in this area,” and once that first condition is triggered, another rule can specify what to do when the vehicle leaves the scene or heads toward a sensitive area. In other words, a Super Rule works like a logical sequence: if X happens, and then Y happens, then trigger alert Z.

Thanks to this combination, DFUSION can automatically filter out irrelevant movements, ignore background traffic, prioritize intrusions outside business hours or in critical areas, and ensure that only true risk alerts are generated. This increases the system’s accuracy, reduces false alarms, and speeds up verification by ARCs / CMS or security personnel.

Smart Rules for a Smart Detection System

With DFUSION’s Super Rules, your security system stops being merely reactive and becomes truly intelligent. Whether you are an installer seeking to reduce post-sale incidents and streamline commissioning, or an ARC / CMS needing to verify alarms quickly and accurately, these advanced rules make the difference. To achieve this, our intelligent video analytics system incorporates Super Rules, combining customizable conditions to deliver rapid detection of intruders and risks with maximum accuracy and a drastic reduction in false alarms. This ensures reliable verification that allows ARCs / CMS to make immediate and safe decisions. In this way, conventional alarm systems are transformed into smart solutions capable of distinguishing between irrelevant events and real threats. This solution provides better protection for both the end user and CMS operators, and enhancing the efficiency and reputation of your installation or security service.
