How will the AI industrial revolution impact CCTV?
Nick Bowden, MD of Digifort UK, looks at AI’s impact on the CCTV industry, as we enter a modern industrial revolution, in an expert article written for SJUK.
The global rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has fundamentally changed the way many industries work and is revolutionizing CCTV. 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.
