When artificial intelligence (AI) technologies first debuted, many failed to live up to the hype and left early adopters disappointed. But AI tech is now catching the attention of a growing number of end users, changing the core value proposition of physical and electronic security.
“Many early AI video solutions did disappoint customers with perspective limitations and false alarms,” says Jason Burrows, IDIS America’ sales director. “But today, a single camera can provide highly accurate analysis from more angles than ever before and deliver high-performance, even in challenging light conditions.” Initially, he says, most AI was offered as software or modules within VMS, which often entailed expensive integration services, software licenses and maintenance agreements. Now, customers can choose from highly cost-effective AI plug-in appliances from which even smaller organizations can benefit.
“AI video is giving customers additional value in terms of enhancing security and safety, reducing operating costs, and providing actionable intelligence,” Burrows explains. “AI reduces human error and streamlines and automates monotonous tasks, while increasing overall safety and security across single or multiple sites and perimeters.” You can read the full article here.
