The New York City Police Department (NYPD) has the ability to track people in Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx by running images from 15,280 surveillance cameras into invasive and discriminatory facial recognition software, a new Amnesty International investigation reveals. Thousands of volunteers from around the world participated in the investigation, taggingContinue Reading
Measuring the value of light—not the amount SPAD sensors are a type of image sensor. The term “image sensor” probably brings to mind the CMOS sensors found in digital cameras, but SPAD sensors operate on different principles. Both SPAD and CMOS sensors make use of the fact that light isContinue Reading
The world’s largest maker of surveillance equipment has long-established links to China’s military, including conducting a study with Chinese weapons experts and supplying cameras and drones to the country’s air force, according to a report by a surveillance-industry research company. The findings by IPVM shed fresh light on Hangzhou HikvisionContinue Reading
Owners of Anker’s Eufy security cameras are running into a serious privacy bug. As 9to5Mac reports, users on Anker’s forums and Reddit have found themselves suddenly accessing others’ camera feeds, including recordings and even account details. Logging out and in again appears to resolve the issue (as does using HomeKit Secure Video), but this clearly raises concerns that aContinue Reading
While digital video surveillance systems offer an exceeding amount of rich features compared to their analog ancestors, they still require thoughtful design and deployment to ensure maximum cost-effectiveness. Among the various criteria that impact surveillance network video recorder (NVR) system value, storage capacity can be particularly significant and easily misunderstood.Continue Reading
To accommodate the deluge of data collection for smart cities and other AI deployments, system integrators and solution architects need to ensure they have the proper storage configuration. Otherwise, customers will be subject to dropped frames and data loss, which inhibits deep learning and predictive analysis. Here are the topContinue Reading

Smart sensors and surveillance cameras are generating an unprecedented amount of data. Deploying the right storage technologies improves data accessibility for real-time analysis and decision-making for operations and smart city initiatives. In 2018, the global datasphere was estimated at 33 zettabytes and is expected to increase to 175 zettabytes byContinue Reading
Video surveillance is one of the fastest growing segments in the security industry. About 180 million professional surveillance cameras are expected to ship globally in 2019, as reported by IHS Markit. While video surveillance is certainly the “bread and butter” of nearly every security solution, it is not a failsafeContinue Reading
