Verticals like the public sector, transportation, and utilities cannot realistically apply the resources to view all the available data from these video cameras. Knowing that there is so much idle time throughout the video data only adds to the belief that the video cameras should be left alone until specific data needs to be located. Yet, companies or city governments should be alerted to situations that need their attention immediately, such as crime or traffic congestion.

Currently, there are vendors who can record and compile all the video data on a company or organization’s behalf. However, these do not address the pain point of response time or comprehensive insight delivery. In an ideal world, these verticals would be able to have data insights selected in real time and reported to them. That way, they could conserve resources, identify critical areas of improvement more quickly, and leverage the insights to make decisions with impactful results.
