HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Perimeter protection is the essential first line of defense in physical security, acting as a critical barrier against unauthorized access and safeguarding valuable assets. However, traditional perimeter security systems often struggle with false alarms, environmental interference, and costly manual verification — issues that can undermine both safety and efficiency. As threats grow in sophistication and perimeter security needs become more dynamic, organizations require smarter, more adaptive solutions that can deliver accurate detection and real-time response.

SourceSecurity.com and Hikvision have collaborated to release a new white paper exploring how intelligent perimeter security powered by large-scale AI and multi-sensing technologies are transforming perimeter defense. The white paper offers a comprehensive look at how integrated AI-powered video analytics, thermal imaging, radar, and fiber-optic sensing systems can overcome legacy challenges to deliver precise, scalable, and cost-effective security.

• Challenges with traditional perimeter security protection
  Conventional perimeter security often suffers from persistent false alarms caused by animals, weather, or environmental noise. Poor sensor reliability under fog, rain, or low-light conditions, combined with labor-intensive manual alarm verification, limits effectiveness and increases operational costs. Remote sites face additional hurdles related to power and network access, complicating deployment.
• Smart integration of AI and sensing technologies
  Advancements in large-scale AI models and sensor fusion now enable perimeter security systems to detect and verify threats with unprecedented accuracy and speed. Intelligent cameras with embedded AI reduce false alarms by more than 90%, thermal imaging ensures reliable detection regardless of weather or lighting, radar offers wide-area scanning with automatic target tracking, and fiber-optic sensing enables long-distance intrusion detection without heavy infrastructure.
• Tailored solutions for diverse perimeter security needs
  The white paper details how different combinations of these perimeter security technologies serve short-, medium-, and long-range perimeters—providing optimized detection, verification, and rapid response for various environments including industrial sites, logistics hubs, remote facilities, and critical infrastructure.

Download the full white paper to explore how the new generation of intelligent perimeter protection powered by large-scale AI and multi-sensing technologies is setting a new standard for security—making systems smarter, faster, and more reliable while reducing false alarms and operational burdens.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Smartee Denti-Technology, a leading innovator in clear aligner solutions, and Dental Monitoring, the global leader in AI-powered remote monitoring for orthodontics, today announced a new integration designed to simplify and accelerate refinement workflows for orthodontists and dental professionals.

Traditionally, refinement in clear aligner treatment requires patients to visit their orthodontist’s office for an intraoral scan. The scan is then submitted to Smartee to generate a new treatment plan. While precise, this process often adds extra appointments and chair time for both patients and doctors.

Through this new collaboration, Smartee and Dental Monitoring have streamlined the process by connecting both of their systems. When patients use Dental Monitoring’s app to capture an oral scan, the data is automatically processed and made available within the Smartee platform. Smartee doctors can then access this information directly and generate a SmartSTL file by combining the initial intraoral scan, the current stage file from the Smartee treatment plan, and the remote patient scan that the patient just captured through the Dental Monitoring app. The result is an up-to-date SmartSTL file, eliminating the need for a new intraoral scan or an in-office visit, and ready for refinement planning.

This new feature is now available for Smartee doctors across the EU, Asia-Pacific, North, Central and South America. Doctors can access it directly from the Smartee case management system under ‘Digital Tools‘ > ‘DM SmartSTL‘, marking a new level of convenience in orthodontic care.

About Smartee
Founded in 2004, Smartee is the leading provider of clear aligners and digital orthodontic solutions. Headquartered in Shanghai, Smartee has four research & development centers and four manufacturing bases in China and Spain. By serving over 99,000 doctors in over 57 countries, Smartee provides over 10 aligner products catering to different malocclusion problems for children, adolescents, and adults.

About Dental Monitoring
Dental Monitoring is the orthodontic industry’s first AI-powered remote monitoring solution with FDA De Novo approval and MDR certification. It enhances clinical control, optimizes workflows with groundbreaking innovations, and improves the patient experience, providing real-time treatment updates for any orthodontic treatment, allowing doctors to provide a new standard of care.
