Surveillance solutions equipped with facial recognition allow security agencies to search and find suspects or suspicious activities 24/7 and get alerts. The solution will be capable of detecting and recognizing faces in the camera itself and able to match faces against a large bio metric database.

Westghats develops AI based smart camera solutions for retail, surveillance and road safety. The systems use video analytics to gather intelligence from camera inputs. Video analytics based on deep learning techniques are very compute intensive. Real time intelligent decisions based on video analytics demand edge (at-place) computing. Edge based smart camera solutions are very limited today as the chips that power them are very complex, expensive, power hungry and limited in supply. This will continue as a hindrance for AI adoption until the next generation of smart AI chips are available at low cost and low power. Today, customers are stuck with non-real time cloud and server solutions that demand video streaming, privacy violations and high compute cost.
