Nvidia wants to put a brain inside every surveillance camera
Hundreds of millions of surveillance cameras across the globe dutifully record billions of hours of video footage each day – the vast majority of which gets stored without ever being analyzed. Santa Clara-based Nvidia thinks there's valuable metadata hidden in all that video. And rather than analyzing it later, the company says it can use artificial intelligence to pull out information in real-time. (Silicon Valley Business Journal)

The technology is getting more and more advanced day after day. Bravo NVDA!

That seems like a good idea. If you're going to record footage at least use it to its fullest potential.

I don't think that Nvidia is interested in storing video because they don't sell products that can do this. What they want is to sell their GPUs for real-time video processing and sending warning messages to some control centre once they detect that something is happening.

Good point, I actually conflated the two. Either way though, it's good that they'll be developing the technology.
