Artificial Intelligence dominates at ISC West

The 2022 ISC West show in Las Vegas saw the return of 25,000 security professionals to the industry’s biggest conference. Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions were everywhere this year – easily noticed walking the exhibit hall floor, talking with industry colleagues, or participating in an SIA Education session. AI and analytics are moving beyond trend status and quickly becoming established as the future of the security industry. 

The shift towards AI is not exactly a surprise. Eagle Eye Networks predicted that more businesses would want AI-powered customized analytics in our 2022 Trends report. Similarly, for the second year in a row Security Industry Association (SIA) also determined AI as the top trend in the security industry in their annual Megatrends release. AI is permeating the security industry and end users want this technology that is more accessible than ever before.

Countless new products and emerging companies highlighted AI features including vehicle recognition, biometrics, video search, and automation. This included Video Management Systems (VMS) capable of running high powered AI and analytics plus the next generation of smart cameras built to recognize and analyze anything the camera can see. 

Education sessions focused a lot of attention on AI as well. Discussions included how to implement and sell these new capabilities, new applications for virtually every industry, and how analytics don’t just improve security, but business efficiencies as well. This impact on business came up often as the world and security industry continues to adjust from the global pandemic and the cultural shifts that came with it.
