Security teams around the world are facing new challenges every day. As threats evolve, so too must the technology used to detect and respond to them. Traditional surveillance systems—dependent on human monitoring and limited by network bandwidth—are struggling to keep up. That’s where VIA’s NVIDIA-powered Edge AI PCs come in.
A company specializing in facility security needed a more intelligent surveillance solution to monitor multiple locations in real time. Their existing system relied on centralized cloud processing, which introduced latency issues and made real-time threat detection difficult. In high-risk environments, seconds can make all the difference, so they turned to Edge AI technology for a smarter, faster, and more efficient solution.
The Power of Edge AI in Surveillance
By deploying compact, fanless Edge AI PCs at each monitoring location, the company was able to process video feeds directly at the source. These AI-powered systems analyze footage in real time, detecting unauthorized access, unusual behavior, and potential security breaches within milliseconds. The result? Instant alerts and automated threat assessments without the delays of cloud-based processing.
The AI-driven system also enabled advanced video analytics, such as facial recognition, object detection, and crowd monitoring. With powerful onboard computing capabilities, the Edge AI PCs efficiently handled these demanding tasks while reducing the burden on network infrastructure.
Reliable Performance in Any Environment
Surveillance doesn’t stop when the weather gets tough. Whether monitoring an outdoor industrial site, a busy transportation hub, or a remote facility, security teams need hardware that can withstand extreme conditions. The rugged design of these Edge AI PCs ensured 24/7 operation, even in wide temperature ranges and challenging environments.
Additionally, the compact form factor made deployment easy, allowing the company to integrate the devices seamlessly into existing surveillance setups. Optional wireless connectivity ensured flexible networking options, while multiple I/O ports allowed for integration with various security sensors and alarm systems.
Breaking Down the Technology
The Edge AI PCs deployed in this solution include two models, each designed for specific surveillance needs:
