What is your role/title and company within the video surveillance industry? (all responses are kept anonymous, just for my awareness) 
In what country/region are you located?
At which of the following locations do you have experience with video surveillance hardware/system design? 
If possible, please elaborate on the location(s) at which you're familiar with surveillance designs. (I.e., medium sized NFL stadium, college campus with 30,000 students, major auto manufacturing plant) 
What is the typical camera type and total number of cameras at each location? (Ex: Football stadium has 200 Hikvision IP cameras, 50 of them are dome and 150 are one-directional). Brand and model type are appreciated but not necessary.
Do you use any form of video processing platform/server?
What is your video storage hardware (Ex: 10 NVRs, 3 centralized storage servers, one small storage box attached to each camera)?
Are you running artificial intelligence, machine learning, and/or analytics on camera feeds at your location? If so, why, and how common do you think this is for similar locations?
If you responded 'yes' to the previous question, please explain in detail the hardware associated with running AI/ML/analytics. Is the compute for this function typically hosted on the camera (at the edge) or in a separate server/box somewhere more centralized?
Are there any types of customers or industries that are noticeably ahead on AI integration into their video surveillance?
Clear selection
Are you familiar with Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) which brings storage, compute, and networking onto a single server? If so, do you see this hardware as an effective and/or common solution for video surveillance architecture? Please elaborate if possible. 
How commonly does video surveillance hardware (cameras, storage servers, etc.) tend to get replaced? How does this differ by the system design, the type of hardware, or the location?
Are you familiar with the chipsets inside surveillance cameras? If so, please explain which chip manufacturer/types you are aware of and any trends you see in the semiconductor aspect of surveillance hardware.
Any other trends or observations you think would be interesting to share?
