Technology has made vast improvements over last decade or so, especially in video analytics capabilities and accessibility.  Earlier years, analytics were primarily needed and available to large, corporate or government systems, requiring powerful servers to run each application along with high-end infrastructure. Now, due to maturing analytic engines and the exponential increase in camera and server processing power,  analytics can be used by many different kinds of users and in a variety of environments. Analytics can run on the camera (edge) or on a server running multiple video streams or multiple applications.

With IP cameras, analytics present the same types of possibilities, adding in optional applications that build on the camera’s out of the box capabilities. Many premium cameras already possess the processing horsepower and available memory to do this today. It is simply a matter of time for an ecosystem of add-in functionality to become available.

Arivon Technologies would help customers in video analytics validation and testing with best practices from our expert video analytics team.

By deploying Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA), end users can leverage specific analytics data and leverage it into actionable intelligence for functions such as marketing, health and safety and personnel management. Analytics can offer such tools as heat mapping and queue monitoring for retail and hospitality, as well as people counting and foot traffic.

The future when the apps ecosystem makes available edge based analytics that monitor air-conditioning applications, lighting apps, and access control apps, working together to make the ‘Smart Home’ and ‘Smart Building’ ideas a reality.

Even with the great strides in improved effectiveness, increased accessibility and cost, the primary function of analytics is still to complement the role of system operators, not to eliminate them.
