Technology advances have made security systems and digital surveillance systems ubiquitous. They are no longer in the exclusive realm of office complexes, government buildings or palatial estates. Security and surveillance technologies are available for almost any venue or application. This situation is possible not just because of the introduction of a host of new innovative security devices — but also because we have the ability to easily install and manage them.
Market For Security
Looking at the security sector alone, we can cite the most recent U.S. crime statistics available from the FBI. These state that property crimes totaled losses of $14.3 billion in 2015. To deter criminals and solve crimes, Allentown, Pennsylvania, is even offering its businesses security camera system funding. Thus, given this situation, it is easy for businesses and individuals to recognize not only the need for digital security surveillance (DSS) systems, but also that they can afford.
Now that security and surveillance systems are more accessible and affordable, a great opportunity exists for technology providers to tap into this lucrative market. Examples of some of these newer systems include everything from access control to real-time video analytics to machine vision technology. During their sales and deployment, a host of products and services ride along with these systems: They include IP cameras, networking gear, analytics software, storage systems — lots of storage — and more.
New DSS Applications
In addition to providing security, advanced DSS systems usher in an array of exciting new business capabilities. Computer vision and video analytics enable capabilities such as object recognition, face detection, video tracking, event detection, and machine vision. These capabilities can automate critical business functions.
For instance, technology providers can help their customers increase the quality of products leaving a factory. Or providers can improve a retailer’s marketing strategies, by observing and measuring foot-traffic patterns. By tracking occupancy through DSS, smart buildings can reduce energy consumption and other forms of waste in their lighting, HVAC, and other systems. The applications are limitless.
Intel® Innovation at the Core
Intel is committed to helping DSS technology providers design newer, more efficient, and more capable systems. It will do this with a new series of compact, low-power processors that offer exceptional compute-per-watt, and integrated image and graphics processing. What is more, Intel provides application developers with an interoperable architecture and software tools. These speed the design and development of powerful new DSS systems that can perform advanced computer vision tasks.
