Edge & Cloud Video
Gain Momentum
▶ AS THE INDUSTRY HEADS into 2023, it
brings with it trends that are utilizing edge and
Cloud technology with the promise of providing
greater employee safety, building security and
business productivity. Business Development
Sales Engineer for Netronix Integration, Anthony
DiCato, spoke with PSA Security Network on
current and incoming trends.
Manufacturers
are providing
solutions to
support the
migration of
on-premises
products to
the Cloud
environment.
Integrating Multiple Technologies
Video surveillance and access control use are expanding
within global businesses into a solution
that allows for a more reliable security system.
" Th e evolution of video and Cloud technologies
continues, " DiCato explains. " As organizations
seek to implement intelligent Cloud video surveillance
and operational analytics to increase
effi ciency rather than basic card readers and cameras,
[there has been a wave] of video integration
into access control. "
Manufacturers are including new feature sets
beyond the standard camera and recorder. DiCato
reveals that " human-centric security through
insight and analytics such as object-oriented
searching, heat maps, anomaly, gunshot, scream
detection, and other rules and alarms are being
integrated within systems. "
Edge Recording to Cloud
Cloud-based systems are increasing as more businesses
utilize the Cloud subscription model for
storage and analysis of data from edge recording
devices. Th is approach is recording to the edge
device and then to a Cloud-based system rather
than the typical video monitoring system (VMS)
or networking video recording (NVR) system.
DiCato shares a key benefi t of edge recording
to the Cloud is that it, " is a hosted, secure and
constantly updated environment that changes
the model of maintenance and value we bring to
the customer as an integrator. "

Cloud & On-Premises Hybrid
Manufacturers are providing solutions to support
the migration of on-premises products to the
kkidder@psasecurity.com
Cloud environment. DiCato shares insight that
" organizations are making a partial transition in
integrating on-premises and Cloud platforms. "
He explains, " Th is transition approach invites
the use of new solutions without going totally
bleeding edge. " Th e push toward the Cloud is for
businesses to benefi t from the operational and
fi nancial advantages, such as reduced operational
complexity and costs, reduced vulnerabilities,
staying secure and up to date, and more.
In addition to off ering a scalable and expandable
platform for new feature sets, moving to the
Cloud model provides the benefi t of increased
system availability and redundancy included. DiCato
shared a recent scenario that when " a Cloud
manufacturer had rolled out an upgrade to its system
and the upgrade had some issues, [the system]
was rolled back online in 14 minutes, compared
to possibly 24 to 48 hours with an on-premises
software specifi c version system requiring possible
removal, database rollback and reinstallation. "
AI and Analytics
Artifi cial intelligence (AI) and AI-like feature
sets are now integrated into most systems adding
to the migration from on-premises system to
the Cloud. DiCato explains, " We are seeing AI
added to base off erings providing enabling static
analytics such as line diagramming and occupancy
counting. " He adds, " At the global enterprise
organization level, we are seeing other AI manufacturers
providing deep learning, using GPUs in
big server environments. "
Th ese true AI systems learn while processing
multiple sites with multiple cameras. It is impossible
for a person to look up the millions of incoming
alarms and identify the date and time, the AI
deep learning systems bring the alarms that matter
to the forefront helping the global security operations
center (GSOC) perform at a better rate.
Specifi c to the trend in AI is the use of object-oriented
recognition or object detection.
DiCato explains, " Th is approach enables a more
cohesive deployment with cybersecurity and
VMS systems " providing a noninvasive approach
to " obtaining data in line with NIST and cybersecurity
frameworks to detect these anomalies to
keep our organizations, people and assets safe. "
Video integrated with deep learning AI systems
brings to the forefront new regulatory requirements
currently being addressed and in future
trends.
