Edge storage in AI-enhanced video applications offers scalability, cost savings, and enhanced security, with Micron’s i400 microSD cards leading the market
Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G are converging at the edge, enabling a wide range of new products, services, and applications for the video security industry. This growth can be observed in the IP video security and Video Security as a Service (VSaaS) markets, which are projected to be worth $83 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% during the forecast period. With the integration of AI functionality in camera devices, a richer dataset will be created and stored at the edge. Consequently, edge storage is becoming a key element of cloud-based, AI-enabled video security applications. This brief discusses the use cases and solutions for edge storage applications.
Applications Driving Edge Storage Needs
The applications in which edge storage in AI-enabled devices can be utilised are vast, but four particular areas are witnessing substantial growth due to their usage of AI, IoT, and 5G:
- Video Security as a Service (VSaaS)
- Smart Home
- Mobile Security
- Video Telematics
Video Security as a Service (VSaaS)
VSaaS, a cloud-based video security solution, has gained popularity in recent years mainly because of its ease of deployment. With no need for network video recorders (NVRs), servers, or complicated wiring, data is stored on the edge and transferred to the cloud. This combination of edge and cloud means that collected data can be stored on the camera itself—on a microSD card—and then transferred as needed to the cloud for easy access, saving precious bandwidth.
VSaaS is an ideal solution for enterprises looking for a flexible, cost-effective way to monitor and manage sites remotely from an internet-connected device anytime, anywhere. A wide variety of AI analytics can also be applied to VSaaS solutions to provide users with smart data, proactively helping to keep their premises safe and secure.
Benefits of Edge Storage for Video Applications
The benefits of edge storage in video applications extend far beyond cost savings. Other benefits include ease of deployment and management, as well as scalability since no physical recording systems are required…
