Axis Communications sheds light on video surveillance industry perspectives on AI with new report
Axis Communications has published a new report that explores the state of AI in the global video surveillance industry. Titled The State of AI in Video Surveillance, the report examines the key opportunities, challenges and future trends, as well as the responsible practices that are becoming critical for organisations in their use of AI. The report draws insights from qualitative research as well as quantitative data sources, including in-depth interviews with carefully selected experts from the Axis global partner network. A leading insight featured in the report is the unanimous view among interviewees that interest in the technology has surged over the past few years, with more and more business customers becoming curious and increasingly knowledgeable about its potential applications. 'AI is a technology that has the potential to touch every corner and every function of the modern enterprise. That said, any implementations or integrations that aim to drive value come with serious financial and ethical considerations. These considerations should prompt organisations to scrutinise any initiative or investment. Axis's new report not only shows how AI is transforming the video surveillance landscape, but also how that transformation should ideally be approached,' said Mats Thulin, Director AI & Analytics Solutions at Axis Communications. The migration to the cloud is accelerating According to the Axis report, the move by businesses from on-premise security server systems to hybrid cloud architectures continues at pace, driven by the need for faster processing, improved bandwidth usage and greater scalability. At the same time, cloud-based technology is being combined with edge AI solutions, which play a crucial role by enabling faster, local analytics with minimal latency, a prerequisite for real-time responsiveness in security-related situations. By moving AI processing closer to the source using edge devices such as cameras, businesses can reduce bandwidth consumption and better support real-time applications like security monitoring. As a result, the hybrid approach is expected to continue to shape the role of AI in security and unlock new business intelligence and operational efficiencies. Data integration and consolidation A trend that is emerging among businesses is the integration of diverse data for a more comprehensive analysis, transforming safety and security. Experts predict that by integrating additional sensory data, such as audio and contextual environmental factors caught on camera, can lead to enhanced situational awareness and greater actionable insights, offering a more comprehensive understanding of events. Combining multiple data streams can ultimately lead to improved detection and prediction of potential threats or incidents. For example, in emergency scenarios, pairing visual data with audio analysis can enable security teams to respond more quickly and precisely. This context-aware approach can potentially elevate safety, security and operational efficiency, and reflects how system operators can leverage and process multiple data inputs to make better-informed decisions. Taking a responsible and ethical approach to AI According to the Axis report, interviewees emphasised that responsible AI and ethical considerations are critical priorities in the development and deployment of new systems, raising concerns about decisions potentially based on biased or unreliable AI. Other risks highlighted include those related to privacy violations and how facial and behavioural recognition could have ethical and legal repercussions. As a result, a recurring theme among interviewees was the importance of embedding responsible AI practices early in the development process. Interviewees also pointed to regulatory frameworks, such as the EU AI Act, as pivotal in shaping responsible use of technology, particularly in high-risk areas. While regulation was broadly acknowledged as necessary to build trust and accountability, several interviewees also stressed the need for balance to safeguard innovation and address privacy and data security concerns. 'The findings of this report reflect how enterprises are viewing the trend of AI holistically, working to have a firm grasp of both how to use the technology effectively and understand the macro implications of its usage. Conversations surrounding privacy and responsibility will continue but so will the pace of innovation and the adoption of technologies that advance the video surveillance industry and lead to new and exciting possibilities,' Thulin added.

Ferroport Enhances Surveillance and Supports Wildlife Conservation with Sustainable Technology from Axis Communications
CHELMSFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ferroport, which operates the iron ore terminal at the Port of Açu in São João da Barra, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has deployed state-of-the-art video surveillance cameras from Axis Communications to enhance nighttime security and visibility, while decreasing environmental impact and prioritizing sustainability. With cutting-edge technology, the port now has precise surveillance cameras that capture high-quality nighttime images, while reducing the amount of artificial lighting that negatively impacts the surrounding ecosystem. With cutting-edge technology, the port now has precise surveillance cameras that capture high-quality nighttime images, while reducing the amount of artificial lighting that negatively impacts the surrounding ecosystem. Share The partnership with Axis Communications has allowed Ferroport to meet Brazilian port standards with ease, while also supporting its robust sustainability strategy. The ISPS Code (Resolution 53 Conportos) and Ordinance 143 of the Federal Revenue Service mandates that Brazilian port terminals must remain under 24/7 video surveillance, leading the port to search for a solution that would comply with these stringent standards while also enhancing wildlife conservation efforts in the area. Ferroport's commitment to environmental stewardship has resulted in the planting of 66,000 trees in the surrounding area over six months and protecting more than 1.3 million loggerhead sea turtle hatchlings since 2008. 'Security is a top priority for Ferroport, with cutting-edge technology in place to protect our assets,' said Marcelo Oliveira, Property Security Coordinator for Ferroport. 'With 206 cameras monitoring offshore, operational, and perimeter areas, our system was equipped to monitor unauthorized vessels during daylight hours, but nighttime surveillance presented a challenge due to the absence of natural light. To balance security with environmental conservation, we partnered with Axis to capture high-quality images in complete darkness – enhancing security while minimizing ecological impact.' Ferroport upgraded its video surveillance network with cutting-edge technology capable of ensuring accurate and reliable surveillance of the port around the clock. Initially, Ferroport invested in 20 Axis cameras, but the company has been expanding its network as the impressive quality of the devices and positive impact on sustainability have become clear. With these installations, Ferroport can now: Leverage a high-tech solution that balances security, compliance, and environmental responsibility. Capture high-quality images in complete darkness – minimizing the impact of artificial lighting on local ecosystems. Turn off night operating floodlights, allowing endangered species like maned wolves, porcupines, capybaras, and anteaters to return to their habitat. Use deep learning analytics for remote perimeter detection to prevent unauthorized entry by land, sea, or approaching vessels. 'While Ferroport was looking to enhance its security capabilities, the company wasn't willing to sacrifice its values or conservation goals to achieve it,' said Winicius Corali, Regional Sales Manager, Brazil, Americas. 'We were able to work closely with port representatives to identify a solution that would provide the functionality Ferroport needed to comply with Brazilian regulations while also sustainability and conservation. Our hope is that Ferroport can serve as an example for other port security projects.'
