“ There ’ s a significant evolution with hardware . I think cameras are going to keep increasing in quality , but it ’ s the intelligence that you now get with these devices where we ’ ll see the biggest impact ,” Smith asserts .
“ So now they aren ’ t just giving you an image . Now , you ’ re seeing analytics get a lot better within cameras . This means we ’ re getting more information about what ’ s going on , we can detect things , we can tell a video management system to look for specific things and set alerts for specific things .”
