Integration Challenges Emerge from Growing Use of Sensors
The growing popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT), along with more developed technology and lower cost of sensors, has boosted the use of sensors. Based on figures from a report by bccResearch, the global market for sensors reached US$101.9 billion in 2015. This market is estimated to reach $190.6 billion by 2021, with a CAGR of […]
Top Video Surveillance Trends to Watch for in 2017
A quality security system not only deters criminals but can also help catch them. As we move into 2017, be sure to be on the lookout for how video surveillance technology will continue to evolve, and the impact it can have on your home or business. 1. DIY Security This is a trend that started with DVR kits, and […]
Integrating Sensors for Enhanced Detection and Security
Traditionally, one technology was used to protect or monitor a certain area most of the time — surveillance cameras. However, this often created false alarms or blind spots. Camera technology with video content analysis (VCA) does people counting and barrier perimeter detection for indoor environments. But if you get into an outdoor environment, sometimes cameras are […]
2017: What’s in for video surveillance
Cybersecurity, deep learning, and body-worn cameras were some of the top trends to watch for this year in the video surveillance market, as vendors seek to roll out more secure and more value-added solutions in the midst of intense competition. That’s according to IHS Markit in its latest report, which cited the global video surveillance […]
How Intelligent is AI-based Video Analytics?
There is a lot of dialogue surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) in video analytics at the moment. So much so, that many solution providers appear to see the term AI as a necessity to market their products. To be fair, video analytic solutions have come a long way from their initial days. But how intelligent is video analytics really? Where […]
How Will Artificial Intelligence Benefit the Security Industry?
Have you ever wondered how the security industry can benefit from Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Before we dive into the details of the various applications that AI has to offer, we must talk about the processors first. AI is the computer science that enables machine intelligence, which requires several processors like CPU, GPU and NPU to work collaboratively. CPU, […]
Geovision First in Taiwan Cyber Security
GeoVision, a manufacturer of video surveillance management system and IP cameras, has unveiled TAICS-certified IP camera models at the 2018 International Information and Communication Standard Forum, as the first company in certified in the sector. TAICS, short for Taiwan Association of Information and Communication Standards, is a government endorsed non-profit organization that establishes ICT standards […]
Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Vehicles
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken the automotive industry by storm to drive the development of level-4 and level-5 autonomous vehicles. Why do you think AI has become so popular now, though it has been around since the 1950s? Simply put, the reason behind this explosion of AI is the humongous amount of data that we have […]
The Cameras of Autonomous Vehicles (Part I)
As more and more companies throw their weight behind designing autonomous cars, patterns begin to form about what features move the industry forward, and which don’t. As we approach a self-driving future, the number of sensors in vehicles will increase tenfold, but which types of sensor will provide the most value? Vision Systems – Sensors […]
The Radar & Lidar of Autonomous Vehicles (Part II)
2. Artificial Eyes – Lidar Light Detection and Ranging or Lidar operates on the same principle as conventional microwave radar. Pulses of laser light are reflected off an object back to a detector and the time-of-flight is measured. The beam is very narrow and the scanning rate sufficiently fast, that accurate 3D representations of the […]
