Worst Video Analytics Providers 2024
Surging interest in AI / analytics is a major trend this year, and performance is improving, but many providers are still lagging. Which providers are voted "worst" by integrators?
Inside, we break down the 2024 rankings, including detailed integrator commentary from over 200+ integrators on both their favorite and worst analytics providers, as well as their overall analytics usage results. We netted out the results (favorite minus worst votes) to see which companies had net negative responses from integrators.
This is the second installment of tracking "worst" analytics providers, with the first being Favorite and Worst Video Analytics Providers 2022. Also, compare this to the "Favorite" report released last week, Favorite Video Analytic Providers 2024, and the results over the years:
- Favorite Video Analytic 2020
- Favorite Video Analytic 2018
- Favorite Video Analytics 2016
- Video Analytics Market Guide and Favorites 2014
200+ integrators responded to:
In the past year, what video analytics have you had the worst experience with? What happened?
Note: We did not specify whether these video analytics are done in cameras, recorders, servers, cloud, VSaaS, etc., to allow integrators to name any provider across any segment.
