South Korean video company IDIS has released artificial intelligence video guidance that it says will help systems integrators and their customers invest with confidence.
The report, The Value and Benefits of End-to-End AI Video, explores the key capabilities and benefits of the latest AI video technologies while highlighting pitfalls to avoid.
“Armed with better understanding, business leaders and their integrators can focus on areas of their operations that have the most potential for improvement,” says IDIS General Manager Dennis Choi.
The report notes that there are more ways than ever to use AI in surveillance operations, but with these opportunities come risks. Buyer concerns include overspending on equipment and associated infrastructure that fails to live up to expectations, becoming stuck with inflexible software or product dead ends, or getting tied into unfavourable contracts.
The most widely used video analytics functions, becoming common in sectors from retail and logistics to hospitality and manufacturing, include people counting, occupancy monitoring, object detection, line crossing, heat maps (showing activity patterns in specific locations), face detection, and alerts based on configured trigger events. The IDIS report highlights examples where AI video applications are replacing manual monitoring, collection, and analysis of data, saving money and improving accuracy.
Increasingly, the uses for AI video go much wider than security, with at-a-glance dashboards making it easy to unlock new value from business intelligence metrics, such as measuring sales performance or production output against peaks and troughs of people flow.
In addition to providing an overview of the latest developments, IDIS’s new report includes five steps for risk-free adoption of AI video. It also explores why end-to-end solutions are now delivering benefits from AI with fewer risks, in turn benefiting users with lower operating costs and better total cost of ownership value.
“Today’s more efficient AI video solutions can help optimise staffing levels, team training, stock handling, customer service, compliance with health and safety mandates, decision-making around premises locations, and many sector-specific applications,” notes Choi.
