It is often cliché but also true that industries are changing rapidly. Failure to implement scalable automated technology can cause businesses not to adapt under dynamic circumstances, which can lead to missed opportunities, slowing growth, slowing revenue, or jeopardizing safety.

In today’s world, the deployment of security cameras is a common practice.  For instance, in some public facilities such as airports, travelers can be in view of a security camera 100% of the time. The days of security guards watching banks of video panels being fed from hundreds of security cameras are quickly being replaced by computer vision systems powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Today’s advanced analytics can be performed on many camera streams in real-time without a human in the loop. These systems enhance not only personal safety but also provide other benefits, including better passenger experiences and enhanced shopping experiences.

This white paper describes the components and results of an optimized solution showing how the Dell Validated Design for Computer Vision, using Dell APEX Private Cloud and Dell APEX Data Storage Services, can be employed for these large-scale, multi-faceted environments. Our test cases focused on the critical workflows for the broad application of computer vision across various situations and settings.
