Definitive answers, field case studies, and original research on edge AI and CCTV intelligence — for manufacturing, retail, smart cities, housing, schools, and logistics.
The surveillance industry has sold cameras by megapixel count for two decades. The promise that more megapixels means better AI is not just incomplete — for analytics procurement, it is actively harmful.
