Verifyfaces & Actuate: AI-powered security partnership

Verifyfaces, a global pioneer in facial verification technology trusted by security professionals worldwide, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Actuate, a New York-based AI company specialising in computer vision solutions for remote video monitoring and security.

This collaboration integrates Verifyfaces’ high-precision facial recognition with Actuate’s advanced detection analytics, delivering a robust solution that reduces false alarms and improves detection accuracy for professional video monitoring centres and integrated security ecosystems. 

Verifyfaces selected Actuate for its cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, ease of integration, and alignment with Verifyfaces’ technical stack. This partnership signifies Verifyfaces’ first venture into collaborative AI analytics, utilising Actuate’s multi-model AI capabilities to enhance real-time threat detection without compromising privacy or operational efficiency.

Seamless solution

All biometric templates remain under the client’s custody to ensure data privacy 

Designed for deployment within existing security infrastructures, this integration requires no additional on-site hardware.

Actuate’s analytics detect events like loitering, intrusion, or weapons, and upon triggering, send relevant face imagery—cropped faces or short video clips—to Verifyfaces for rapid identity verification.

All biometric templates remain under the client’s custody to ensure data privacy and compliance with international regulations.

Verification outcome

Once Verifyfaces processes the image against a client-owned gallery—containing employees, VIPs, or persons of interest—it returns results with contextual insights such as reference images, confidence scores, and matching status.

Depending on the verification outcome, alert escalation, suppression, or logging occurs within the monitoring platform.

Enhanced alarm accuracy and context

This integrated approach allows monitoring operators to receive more accurate, context-rich alerts, such as:

• Reduced False Positives: Filtering known persons (whitelist) or authorised personnel prevents unnecessary alarms.
• Actionable Intelligence: Linking alerts with verified identities enables quicker, more informed responses.
• Privacy Preservation: Biometric data stays under client control; media is only shared when relevant to the event.

Versatile Use Cases

Scenarios include:

• Filtering out authorised personnel from gun detection alarms in government or school settings.
• Triggering alarms only when unknown or blacklisted individuals are present, such as during after-hours intrusion in retail or corporate environments.
• Weighing detection confidence levels and whitelist/blacklist status to optimise alert relevance and operational efficiency.

Exceptional AI quality

“Verifyfaces chose Actuate because of its exceptional AI quality, seamless integration, and ability to quickly deliver tailored solutions,” said Michael Doherty, CEO of Verifyfaces.

“This partnership allows us to extend our high-precision facial recognition into real-time analytics, providing security operators with smarter, less intrusive alerts—saving time and reducing false alarms across diverse verticals.”

“By combining our AI-driven detection with Verifyfaces’ identity verification, we're empowering security teams to respond faster and more accurately,” said Ken Francis, CEO of Actuate. “Our scalable, privacy-conscious integration enhances security ecosystems without creating extra complexity for operators.”
