In case of the critical missions related to national security the variety of shapes that threats may take are so diverse and observation conditions so chal- lenging that camera embedded systems presently cannot per- form well against the cloud or a hybrid system with inference on the edge .

Consequently , in most of Pure- Tech deployments that require long range monitoring of large geographic areas under different environmental and lighting conditions the system design utilizes edge devices and / or central processing .

For example , the pictures below are screen captures that show ( 1 ) detected crawler and ( 2 ) people walking along the trail ; in both situations the intruder would be near impossible to detect , even by an experienced system operator , yet PureActiv detected and tracked the in- truder in both scenarios
