Smart video analytics sees more than any human ever could. But without human judgement it's rudderless — and without privacy, irresponsible.
Cameras that recognise notable behaviour by themselves sound like the future, but they already exist. AI analytics can point an operator to an abandoned bag, a person in a forbidden area or unusual crowding. The promise is great — and so are the pitfalls.
Where AI really helps
- Flagging early instead of reviewing afterwards;
- Filtering endless footage down to what deserves attention;
- Relieving operators so they stay sharp.
Knowing the limits
AI makes mistakes and has no context. A system that raises an alarm does not replace the judgement of an experienced guard who assesses whether something is really going on. Technology flags; people decide.
Privacy as a condition
Smart cameras process personal data. Purpose limitation, retention periods and transparency are not an afterthought but a requirement. We only deploy technology in a way that respects the GDPR.
