Real-World Artificial Intelligence for Security, Safety, and Operations

When artificial intelligence (AI) technologies first debuted, they didn't live up to the hype -- not even close -- and left many early adopters disappointed. But that was then and this is now, and AI is finally catching the attention of more 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, sales director, IDIS America. "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." He points out that, initially, most AI was offered as software or modules within VMS, which oftentimes entailed expensive integration services, software licenses and maintenance agreements.
