Edge analytics: Add value to video surveillance by processing data right on cameras |
 |
| Edge analytics are video analytics that process and analyze video data on the camera, close to where it’s captured. It allows for faster alerts, decisions and response without delays. Less bandwidth, storage and server infrastructure is consumed; thus, it scales better. Besides, analyzing data on the edge implies no information is lost in compression or transmission, making results more reliable while also lowering the risk of loss of sensitive data. |

| ARTPEC-8: Enabler of deep-learning-based analytics on the edge |
|
|
| The ARTPEC system-on-chip (SoC) – first released in products in 1999 and now in its eighth iteration – is the foundation that allows Axis to deliver the highest quality network cameras possible. The latest ARTPEC-8 is specifically designed for video surveillance with a focus on deep learning analytics on the edge. One example is highly granular real-time object detection and classification, which enables development of analytics that can distinguish between different kinds of objects, such as types of vehicles. This is the basis for AXIS Object Analytics. |
|
|
| ARTPEC-8 also supports superior imaging, enhanced security and powerful compression. As the SoC is in-house developed, it gives Axis a level of control crucial to cybersecurity. |

| ACAP 4.1. An open platform for a wide portfolio of analytics |
|
|
| The open Axis platform is behind our wide portfolio of analytics solutions compatible with all major video management systems. For more than a decade, AXIS Camera Application Platform (ACAP) has enabled developers to create applications for various scenarios such as traffic management and business optimization. Today, given the increased image quality and particularly the introduction of edge-based accelerated deep learning, the data produced on the edge opens up the potential for a step-change in computer vision applications. |
|
|
| The fourth generation of ACAP has been designed to be as accessible as possible to developers through the adoption of well-known APIs and industry standard technologies. With the introduction of ACAP Computer Vision Software Development Kit (SDK) and ACAP Native SDK, ACAP 4.1 is expected to lead to new computer vision applications. |
