Making monitoring and surveillance cameras smarter through IoT and AI

There is growing interest in deploying smart cameras and adding intelligence to existing cameras, using AI and ML to automate visual processing in video monitoring and surveillance systems. These systems help secure people, buildings, and valuables whether part of a CCTV installation, public safety monitoring, or body-worn cameras.

This paper looks at the market drivers, technology enablers and challenges, and presents smart camera solutions based on commercially available building blocks along with an example system architecture for a smart camera application.
