Video Analytics Usage Statistics 2024

•Published Aug 02, 2024 15:14 PM

Video analytics have improved significantly (see our AI/Smart Camera Tutorial and most recent test results - Camera Analytics Rankings 2024 - 20 Manufacturers, 39 Analytics). However, how widely are they being used?

IPVM Image

140+ integrators answered two questions:

In the past year on projects you were involved with, what percentage of new cameras used video analytics?

Why do you use or not use video analytics on cameras? What benefits or problems do you find, as the case may be?

In this report, IPVM examines the results and highlights common themes, including usage data and dozens of detailed quotes from integrators.
