i-PRO Shares Its Top Video Surveillance Trends Predictions for 2023
i-PRO shared its top five predictions for the physical security industry in 2023. 2023 will see significant adoption of AI-based analytics in cameras and video management systems (VMS) as more manufacturers provide this feature within their standard camera lines.
