system , taking a greater responsibility and reducing the burden on customers .
Hybrid architectures also support the forthcoming use cases for AI support and automation in solution management and operation ; increased system accessibility being valuable to both human support and that from AI , taking advantage of each different instance ’ s strengths .
3 . Security always , but safety too
Security and safety have often been connected as a single subject . Increasingly they are being recognised as separate use cases : security being related to preventing intentional acts – break-ins , vandalism , aggression towards people , etc . – and safety related to the unintentional dangers and incidents that can cause harm to people , property and the environment .
For a number of reasons , the use of video surveillance and analytics in safety use cases is growing fast and will continue to do so .
One reason , unfortunately , is climate change . With extreme weather conditions causing floods , wildfires , landslides , avalanches and more , video surveillance , environmental sensors and analytics will be increasingly used by authorities to give early warning of potential disasters and support the most rapid and effective response .
Risk management , compliance to health and safety directives and regulatory requirements is another key reason for the continued growth in safety-related use cases . Video surveillance will be used extensively within organisations to ensure adherence to H & S policies and safe working practices , such as the wearing of required Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ). Where incidents do take place , video surveillance will be an increasingly useful and important tool in investigations .
Security as a use case for surveillance is wellestablished . Safety will continue to evolve .
AI , cybersecurity , sustainability , corporate governance – all are areas coming under greater regulatory scrutiny .
4 . Regulation and compliance driving technology
Speaking of compliance , the global regulatory environment is having an increasing impact on the development of technology , its application , and use . Compliance with these is something that vendors and end-users need to be aware of and should be looking to work in close partnership to ensure .
AI , cybersecurity , sustainability , corporate governance – all are areas coming under greater regulatory scrutiny . Vendors need to develop their own technologies and operate their own businesses in ways that support their customers ’ compliance requirements .
Increasingly , the regulatory landscape covers more than the specific development and use of technology itself . Geopolitics and trade relations between nation states are also leading to regulations that demand transparency to a component level if vendors want to maintain a license to operate in key international markets .
