The future of surveillance: How AI, IoT and cloud are shaping security solutions

By Aditya Khemka, Founder & Managing Director, CP PLUS

Before the advent of the Internet, security relied predominantly on manual, human-driven systems. The emergence of digital tools and advanced technologies has since reshaped the entire security landscape, driving surveillance beyond mere passive recording toward proactive protection and predictive intelligence.

From Traditional to New Age Systems
Today, rapid assessment of threats is crucial since lives and properties are at stake. In this situation, smarter security and surveillance steps can be undertaken with Edge AI and IoT. This is important because Edge AI facilitates faster and more cost-effective processing of data. To elaborate, Edge AI allows AI algorithms to operate at the place where data is generated locally. Thereby, large data volumes need not be transmitted to cloud. A facial recognition camera that uses AI and ML (machine learning) algorithms processes the data onsite, instead of doing so on ...
