Dave Williams from BRIVO will join us to discuss Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is revolutionizing the security marketplace in various ways. One significant impact of AI is its ability to analyze vast amounts of data and provide real-time insights to enhance security decision-making. AI-enabled security systems can also learn from data patterns, detect anomalies, and predict potential security threats, making them more proactive and effective in identifying and mitigating risks. AI-powered security solutions also improve accuracy and reduce false positives, which can significantly challenge human operators. This session will discuss AI in the Access Control and Video marketplaces and include a product demonstration of both solutions.
