The global rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally changed the way many industries work and is revolutionizing CCTV. Optimum MD, Nick Bowden, looks at AI’s impact on the CCTV industry now and in to the future, as we enter a modern industrial revolution, in an article published in Security Journal UK.
AI describes a type of computer processing which will ‘learn’ to improve its capability – often likened to human understanding. AI’s development is being driven by new and emerging, high-growth, technology-driven markets, such as datacoms, telecoms, networking, automotive, gaming, defence, consumer electronics and more; the CCTV industry is a beneficiary.
AI development is core to video analytics performance in CCTV, improving effectiveness, accuracy, channel density, and reducing cost. However, the HPC (high performance computing) hardware development which enables the processing escalation that AI demands, will also affect physical CCTV system capability, design, layout and cost.
