How The Internet Of Things Is Keeping Us Safe
Each camera can monitor and broadly recognize people and things that are passing beneath it-if something that is outside of normal parameters is detected, a guard who used to monitor endless streams of video can now be signaled, the video with the “suspicious” images can be quickly shared and assessed, and the potential threat addressed. There’s intelligence inside the camera, and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), specialized chips that run extremely rapidly and can be reprogrammed to switch from one task (for example, rapidly digitizing incoming video) to another (enabling specialty observation of a suspected threat) significantly increase the value of the smart camera.
