AI is changing how physical security systems work, and how they work together. As this shift accelerates, the industry is starting to see that AI interoperability isn’t just about moving data anymore, but about agreeing on what that data actually means. To explore this, ONVIF has formed the AI Working Group. We spoke with Peter Damm of Milestone Systems, and…
Cities are getting smarter. From connected traffic systems and intelligent public transportation to smart lighting and digital public services, urban environments are becoming more efficient, responsive, and data-driven. But as cities add more connected technology, one thing becomes increasingly important: security systems that can work together. Because in a smart city, security doesn’t live in…
