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)
Your answer
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.
Your answer
Do you use any form of video processing platform/server?
Your answer
What is your video storage hardware (Ex: 10 NVRs, 3 centralized storage servers, one small storage box attached to each camera)?
Your answer
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?
Your answer
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?
Your answer
Are there any types of customers or industries that are noticeably ahead on AI integration into their video surveillance?
Your answer
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.
Your answer
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?
Your answer
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.
Your answer
Any other trends or observations you think would be interesting to share?
