Added value across user segments
Metadata enhances scene understanding for multiple users.
1. Edge applications: Cameras with embedded analytics process data at the edge, using filters and rules on object info to trigger actions when certain behaviors or thresholds are present.
2. Video Management Systems (VMS): Utilizes metadata for object search based on characteristics like color and shape, reducing manual review.
3. IoT platforms: By analyzing aggregated data, IoT platforms derive actionable insights, enhancing understanding and predictive capabilities.
4. 2nd layer analytics: Advanced apps combine edge and server-based processing, with initial camera processing followed by server processing. This hybrid system streams only relevant video to the server.
