AI inside: introducing the next generation of video camera

Compared to some other technologies, video cameras haven’t been around for that long. First used in 1942 to observe a rocket launch, cameras didn’t become used publicly until the 1960s.

Becoming what we recognise today as a core part of every security function — and beyond.

Video cameras are set to advance again, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) maturing and becoming mainstream.
