When we started our Core Benefits of Security series, we focused first on protecting your physical assets and the people in your building. But just stopping at harm prevention is like buying a powerful delivery truck and never taking it out of the driveway.

Rather than relying on traditional motion detection, we use edge-based artificial intelligence (AI)—that is, AI algorithms running directly on the camera hardware—which interprets activity, filters out distractions, and allows you to establish specific rules for your property.

Let’s take a closer look at how virtual tripwires, ground zones, and object classification work together to protect your facility.
