Information Technology
Historically, physical security systems and information technology systems dwelt in different silos. Chief security officers and chief information officers ran their respective domains without input from the other. But rapid adoption of IP-based security devices spurred the convergence of physical and information security, bringing the two spheres together. SIA is dedicated to managing disciplines within this convergence.
Generative AI vs. CNN-Based Low-Light Enhancement: Why Preserving Original Video Integrity Matters
In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence-powered imaging, it’s easy to conflate all “AI enhancement” with generative methods. But when it comes to critical applications like surveillance, the distinction between generative and nongenerative AI, convolutional neural network (CNN)-based enhancement is not just technical, it is fundamental to trust, integrity and evidence reliability. Surveillance cameras…

AI Is the Latest Step in Video Analytics
Surveillance video implements many cool technologies to enable us to prevent or solve crimes. If you think about the whole system end to end, we have cameras that take in photons, turn them into electrons, which are carried across a variety of networks and come out the other end as photons from a monitor. Along…
