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.
The introduction of video analytics solutions got off to a rocky start many years ago. The biggest problem was that companies promised more than their analytics software could actually deliver. While this led to great mistrust in the technology, commercial customers have warmed up to intelligent video solutions once again. ABI Research forecasts that the global installed base of video surveillance cameras will reach 1.2 billion by 2030, thanks to technological advancements in edge-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). New and improved edge-based AI and ML capabilities of cameras have peeled back the onion, and underneath the surface lies a world of diverse video analytics applications and use cases. This blog post lists six video analytics companies and intelligent surveillance providers using advanced technologies like AI and ML to help customers strengthen their surveillance apparatuses.
If you couldn’t make the trip to Barcelona to attend Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 or you didn’t get your hands on virtual passes, don’t fret. Several ABI Research directors and analysts attended MWC 2023 and shared their thoughts in an insightful whitepaper. In this post, we give you a taste of those findings by sharing seven interesting quotes from our attendees. These findings should help you conceptualize the prevailing themes that swirled around the showroom floor at Fira Gran Via this year.

That’s why ABI Research released its 40 Technology Companies To Watch In 2023 whitepaper to better understand which tech firms are winning in terms of innovation and implementation of their technology products/software.
It’s hard to think of sustainability without renewable energy popping into your head. With the United Nations (UN) calling for global renewable energy investments to triple annually by 2030, hydropower will undoubtedly play an immense role in the future of green energy. While solar and wind are commonly brought up in discussion, they need some serious support because they are fluctuating energy sources that often can’t keep up with demand. From the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to analytics tracking, there are plenty of tech vendors available to meet your organization’s needs when it comes to producing hydropower. To gear up for the digital transformation of green energy, let’s take a look at five vendors that can help you improve the efficiency of your Hydropower Plant (HPP).
