AI security camera
Artificial intelligence (AI) security cameras use advanced computer technology such as machine learning (ML) to interpret what they are seeing, by matching images with databases and other data sources, to provide more effective surveillance capabilities and other business insights.
What is an AI security camera?
AI security cameras are the next generation of video surveillance equipment. They use cloud computing to analyze every frame of video recorded to interpret what they are seeing in real time. This provides new capabilities, including the ability to search through video footage in minutes by only looking at clips related to what you are looking for.
The most common AI security camera capability is motion search. Being able to detect and interpret motion in a camera view unlocks many AI security camera applications. For example, with motion detection, you can find incidents of shoplifting, enable video alarms, perform people counting, and more.

Why are AI security cameras important?
AI security cameras are fundamental to a modern security system. Without AI tools, security cameras are little more than expensive deterrents to theft and disruptive behavior. Reviewing the footage from a traditional point-and-record CCTV camera can take hours, making it only worthwhile to investigate the largest incidents.
This is just one of the benefits of AI video analytics.
Furthermore, AI security cameras mean that your video surveillance system brings value to more than just your loss prevention/asset protection departments. For example, using AI security cameras to track footfalls means that you can measure conversion metrics to improve your sales and marketing campaigns.
