Drako: AI will be monitoring the world’s cameras

SecurityInfoWatch’s John Dobberstein reports on the 5th Annual Brivo Eagle Eye Cloud Security Summit that took place Nov. 6-9 in Washington. He writes about Eagle Eye CEO Dean Drako’s view of AI and cloud going together like “cookies and milk,” and the positive change this will bring to resellers, ..”you’re not just selling security anymore, you’re actually selling something that’s getting integrated into the customer’s business processes. You’re integrating into the operational team, you’re integrating into the marketing team, you’re integrating into the IT team.” Dobberstein also spoke to resellers who attended Summit.

The way Dean Drako sees it, the technologies afforded by video surveillance and artificial intelligence will go together like “cookies and milk” in the future – not just by design, but by necessity. It’s estimated there are more than 1 billion surveillance cameras in use throughout the world, and the Eagle Eye Networks CEO and founder questions how the industry will supply the people to monitor them all.

“What happens with all that video surveillance footage? Mostly nothing,” Drako told hundreds of integrators and security stakeholders attending the recent Eagle Eye Networks/Brivo Cloud Security Summit in Washington D.C. “There’s just too much data there for humans to watch. We’d have to have one of every eight people in the world watching a camera if you wanted to watch them all.”
