If your business uses a video surveillance system, it’s likely deployed on-premises. I also bet that your company outsources installation and maintenance services to a System Integrator (SI). If this sounds like your company, you’re not alone; most businesses today operate surveillance operations this way. However, cloud video surveillance solutions are reshaping the commercial surveillance industry. Cloud-based camera solutions allow Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to leverage advanced surveillance features conveniently and cost-effectively. Security and business outcomes once unimaginable for smaller companies are now within arm’s reach.
Video Analytics at the Edge: Intelligent Solutions Revolutionizing Businesses
Jun 15, 2023 12:00:00 AM / by Elizabeth Stokes posted in IoT Networks & Platforms
For the past 2 decades, the video surveillance market has seen a swift migration from analog and Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras to Internet Protocol (IP) cameras. Today’s IP cameras are cheaper, more powerful, and have greater intelligence than legacy cameras, providing significant value to security departments and business units. Now a staple in commercial surveillance, video analytics extends beyond its historical home in security departments. Thanks to advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and edge computing, customers can leverage a new and improved form of this technology, often called intelligent video analytics. Intelligent video analytics software leverages AI and Computer Vision (CV) to detect objects, people, activities, etc. This is a game-changer for businesses, as it transforms their camera platforms into data-gathering Internet of Things (IoT) devices that send alerts and notifications, which can then be turned into actionable insight.
