alwaysAI Compared to Web Video Management Systems and Video Analytics Alternatives

Kathleen Siddell

The computer vision and video analytics market is booming with the market for edge-enabled video analytics estimated to be worth $75 billion by 2030. Industries from construction to manufacturing to retail to sports and entertainment venues are using video analytics to learn more about their business processes.
But to truly find meaningful, actionable data to transform the way businesses work, enterprises need more than static video footage. To gain a competitive edge, enterprises need real-time data through computer vision.
Computer vision allows cameras to detect objects and contextualize them in the physical world, just as humans do. With computer vision, you can track people and materials and train your computer vision model to send immediate alerts when it spots anomalies, safety concerns, or other unusual events.
Some video management systems provide data analytics about occupancy, inventory or events but all that information comes retroactively. With the addition of computer vision applications, enterprises get real-time insights allowing them to address issues as they happen.
alwaysAI has created the most adaptable yet robust computer vision solutions in the market. alwaysAI is built to meet the changing needs of industries with the adaptability to address advancements in complementary technology like cameras, edge devices, and even analytics dashboard software (such as Kibana, Power BI, and Tableau).
There are other options of course, but before investing in a web video management system, it’s important to understand exactly what you’re going to get. With alwaysAI, you get seamless hardware compatibility, deep learning support, and relevant, targeted analytics – all optimized to scale and grow with a dynamic enterprise.

Hardware
Most AI video solutions work with a single supported device, such as a consumer-grade mac mini or proprietary NVR. While this may seem like a low maintenance, ideal investment, it requires major security upgrades before it can be deployed and used effectively.
alwaysAI however, has the versatility to run on both edge and cloud-based devices to give you ultimate versatility for full scale deployment. alwaysAI provides enterprise-grade solutions that are compatible with major edge device providers, such as Qualcomm, Nvidia, Intel, ARM, Lenovo, and Hailo that require minimal security enhancements.
We understand however, that many organizations are using cloud-based devices and have built our solutions to work with these devices as well to bring you the most adaptable computer vision solutions in the market.
Deep Learning Support
Building computer vision models is complex and requires advanced knowledge of deep learning. We quickly learned that environmental factors, such as backgrounds and changes in brightness, impacted the accuracy and reliability of results. A one-size-fits-all model would not deliver the results enterprise clients need.
alwaysAI provides best-in-class pre-trained and customizable AI models with automatic tuning for location and cameras for high accuracy and real-time insights. We do not rely on generic, one-size-fits all pre-trained models because we know this means sacrificing accuracy and less-than-optimal data.
We succeed when you succeed which is why we provide unparalleled customer support to customize AI models for you. We take the complexity out of computer vision and simply deliver the real-time insights you need to work smarter.

Analytics Offering
Most businesses are not lacking data. In fact, they’re awash in it. The problem? Data isn’t providing businesses information critical to their operations. According to the Global Databerg Report by Veritas, 85% of data stored is useless to business. alwaysAI eliminates your data overload.
Unlike some web video management systems with built-in analytics dashboards and limited flexibility, alwaysAI provides fully customizable analytics dashboards. Instead of senseless, useless or outdated information, enterprises get relevant, real-time data tailored to meet their specific needs. Easily export your data into a CSV file to seamlessly integrate into the business intelligent tools you’re already using.
Because alwaysAI delivers real-time insights, you never have to spend hours culling through reams of data to make reactive decisions based on past events. Prevent problems as they occur, before they become costly liabilities.
What’s more, our user-friendly dashboard makes it easy to see trends and aberrations without spending hours reviewing video footage.
Enterprise Grade Solutions
As mentioned above, alwaysAI partners with the leading edge hardware companies, such as Qualcomm, Nvidia, Intel, ARM, Lenovo, Hailo to provide enterprise-grade computer vision solutions with state-of-the-art security, speed and scalability. We’ve also successfully partnered with QSR leaders that serve leading chains like Burger King and Starbucks, and other organizations across industries who are reaping the rewards of alwaysAI’s truly end-to-end computer vision solution.
Web video management systems use consumer-grade hardware limiting their capabilities to scale and deploy on an enterprise level.
The alwaysAI Advantage
alwaysAI was created to provide the fastest, most reliable and accurate computer vision solutions available to enterprises like yours, looking to unleash insights into your business processes. Whatever hardware technology you use, alwaysAI provides the most comprehensive deep learning support to help you garner the most relevant data about your business.
We understand that you likely already have business intelligent tools in place and have worked tirelessly to offer computer vision solutions that enhance these tools seamlessly.
Our scalable, enterprise-grade solutions are unlike anything else in the market.
