Eagle Eye Founder and CEO Dean Drako outlines some of the ways that AI improves the state of security now and for the future for Digital Journal. Drako shares recent advances in this article AI is here to stay: Technological innovation and the next twelve-months. AI allows for analytics to extract information from increasingly detailed data gathered from high-resolution security cameras. The video data that cameras record is only part of the picture, though. Other sensor types can contribute valuable clues to make analysis more effective, and software integrations can automatically wring formerly unavailable information from existing camera's video streams.

Together, this means that both automatically triggered actions and natural language searching give end users, security professionals or not, access to information they can act on faster than ever before.

Drako states: “AI’s role in video surveillance is rapidly evolving, enhancing security and productivity. AI video search is growing significantly, enabling people who work in security – whether small business owners, facility managers, or security directors at a large enterprise business – to be more productive. In 2024, new applications for AI will arrive at the forefront as it becomes even more practical and deployable.”

“One of those use cases is gun detection, which can benefit both private and public sectors, particularly schools. Businesses and schools that implement AI alerting can monitor and analyze video feeds trained to recognize firearms and alert the necessary authorities. AI models will enable continuous monitoring for rapid response in case of emergencies.”
