But is the new technology always essential? Chris Price reports.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to video surveillance, Artificial intelligence (AI) is often presented as a panacea \u2013 a technology providing all the answers to all the client\u2019s security problems. Not only can it save money, it can also offer unlimited functionality and, some claim, close to 100% accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the truth is somewhat different. While AI does have a growing role within surveillance, it\u2019s not without its faults. Nor is it always necessary for video surveillance with many systems on the market able to provide solutions using existing data analytics without the need for investment in complex deep learning (DL) or neural networks that imitate the human brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe way AI works is actually pretty crude,\u201d Dean Drako, Founder and CEO of cloud-based video surveillance provider Eagle Eye Networks, admits. \u201cYou basically pick thousands of images that are what you want and thousands of others that aren\u2019t what you want. Then you train the system by teaching it.\u201d Where cloud-based surveillance companies like Eagle Eye Networks come in is that they can do a lot of training of AI systems, saving companies the time and expense of doing it themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ifsecglobal.com\/video-surveillance\/is-ai-really-necessary-for-video-surveillance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the full article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifsecglobal.com\/author\/chrispricegoggleblog123\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chris Price<\/a><br><em>Covered on these news sites.
