AI transforming physical security into enterprise data solution

Physical security infrastructure is evolving as AI and cloud technology allow cameras to function as intelligent computing devices. This integration enables businesses to automate operational tasks, such as identifying manufacturing errors, rather than just providing surveillance.
Why it matters
The convergence of physical security and enterprise IT represents a major shift in how businesses utilize IoT data for operational efficiency.
Artificial intelligence and cloud technology are driving a closer integration between physical security and enterprise IT, with cameras increasingly being used as intelligent computing devices rather than just tools for surveillance.
Organisations are increasingly looking at how cameras, audio systems and other IoT devices can be integrated into broader technology environments as AI adoption accelerates.
The changing role of connected devices is creating new opportunities for businesses to use security infrastructure to improve operational efficiency, rather than limiting it to traditional security applications.
Axis' cloud connectivity capabilities are designed to support this convergence, allowing organisations to connect cameras, audio devices and other technologies into broader solutions, said Regional Director Oceania at Axis Communications, Wai King Wong,
"The world is changing, especially with AI and cloud," Wong said.
The shift is also increasing the importance of interoperability, as customers look to combine physical security technologies with existing IT and operational systems.
