Modernity has transformed life in the 21st century. The limitless potential of emerging technologies like AI, ML, IoT, Big Data, and automation, are revolutionizing every aspect of our lives. Video technology is one area that has significantly benefited from these integrations and has helped secure the lives of millions of individuals. Although initially used as a crime prevention tool, it has evolved in its scope to become a valuable tool to city authorities for better civic management and business leaders for fulfilling goals and the well-being of their employees. With machine learning and deep learning now broadly available in security solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics are transforming safety, security, and operational efficiency.
The symposium was well attended by some notable names from the security industry and was also attended by end users of these products. The event was fundamentally a platform to discuss the critical aspects of integrated security systems to help create secure and smarter infrastructures in the future. Attendees spoke about the return of investment from these systems and how analytical outputs gleaned from them could be used understand the future state of integrated security and surveillance technologies, primarily in India.
During his presentation, Sandesh Kaup, Country Manager, Milestone Systems, India said, “I am excited to be a speaker at WeConnect – the Integrated Technology Symposium. Over the years, I have witnessed a huge amount of interest from individuals to understand more about integrated security systems and its myriad possibilities in creating a safer and smarter future. VMS has come a long way since its inception, and its widespread usage is the certification for the same. This trend can now be seen in India too and reflects in the uptick in usage of CCTV cameras embedded with analytics.”
“An open VMS solution can be easily integrated with an existing security system to help in streamlining operations benefitting all concerned. Smart video technology’s AIbased analytics are versatile and can help in monitoring and reporting any untoward activity in real-time. It helps bolster the security cover during these challenging times and allows operators to scan hours of video recordings and pinpoint the anomaly within minutes. This is the security roadmap that commercial and public establishments will seek once operations resume in the next normal. As most enterprises adopt the culmination of various technologies solutions like cloud, on-prem servers, and edge technologies, the architecture of technological infrastructure, internal resources and external forces like regulations need to be considered.
“Milestone Systems offers an open platform VMS that integrates seamlessly with a wide array of innovative technologies such as AI, data analytics, sound detection, and behavioural analytics. As a security solution vendor, Milestone Systems helps equip organizations with tools and flexibility to choose the best solutions suited for their existing infrastructure,” Kaup said.
