In a significant leap for the country’s security technology landscape, Pure Designers has launched Beyond Shield, Pakistan’s first AI-powered surveillance and threat prediction system. Developed entirely in-house by a Pakistani team, Beyond Shield represents a pioneering fusion of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and real-time threat detection — designed to proactively protect the country’s institutions, urban areas, and critical infrastructure.
Beyond Shield is not just another security solution. It is a comprehensive, intelligent system with features that extend far beyond conventional surveillance. The system includes real-time criminal tracking, behavior-based threat prediction, advanced vehicle and object recognition, facial matching using criminal databases, drone-based monitoring, and even pre-crime alert capabilities — a futuristic concept that is now a reality in Pakistan.
What sets Beyond Shield apart is its local-first development model. According to Pure Designers, the system is trained specifically on Pakistan-relevant data, making it contextually aware and highly effective in understanding local security dynamics. At the heart of the system lie powerful deep learning models, YOLOv8 and YOLOv10, implemented using Roboflow. Thousands of curated images were fed into these models to teach the system how to identify potential threats — from suspicious body movements to unauthorized vehicles entering secure zones.
“This is more than just code and cameras. It’s our intelligent response to today’s security needs. We’ve built thousands of digital tools under the Pure Designers banner, but Beyond Shield is different — it’s a legacy project,” said a spokesperson from the team.
The implementation of YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection models, especially the newer YOLOv10 version, allows Beyond Shield to process video feeds in real-time with remarkable accuracy. When combined with Roboflow’s powerful training datasets, the system continuously learns and evolves, improving its threat detection capabilities over time. It doesn’t just react — it anticipates.
One of the most talked-about features is pre-crime alerting. By analyzing patterns of human behavior and movement through AI, Beyond Shield aims to notify authorities of potentially dangerous situations before they escalate — a game-changing application of behavioral AI in national defense and policing.
The system’s integration with drone-based monitoring adds an aerial layer of oversight, ideal for large public gatherings, high-risk areas, and border surveillance. Combined with facial recognition tools linked to criminal databases, law enforcement agencies can instantly identify suspects and unauthorized individuals.
Beyond Shield is now being positioned as a foundational step in Pakistan’s AI transformation, aligning with global trends in AI-based security infrastructure. Pure Designers has also launched an official portal for the project at www.beyondshield.co, inviting stakeholders and technologists to explore its capabilities.
This initiative not only marks a technological milestone but also reflects a broader national ambition — to develop sovereign, intelligent tools that address Pakistan’s unique security challenges through innovation.
In an era where digital threats are as potent as physical ones, Beyond Shield sends a strong message: Pakistan is ready to lead with intelligence, not just force.
