Video Surveillance And Analytics
NodeWeaver News, Thursday, June 20th, 2024
Video surveillance and security plays a huge part in our everyday lives and is becoming both increasingly widespread and intelligent. Real-time video analytics will drive a wide range of applications and deliver actionable intelligence with great potential to impact society.
Advanced applications such as facial recognition, event detection, and behavioral prediction all operate in real-time and must have the ability to store, process, and analyze data locally. Also, latency, bandwidth, and processing requirements necessitate infrastructure to reside in close proximity to the cameras.
For these and other reasons, video surveillance and analytics is seen by many as the 'killer app for edge computing' because it requires cloud-like functionality on local hardware and typically in a small footprint. Additionally, this infrastructure must be cost effective, since there may be 1000s of deployments.
