Security technology likewise is transitioning. Back in the day, retail banking first used still cameras, and film had to be sent elsewhere for developing while FBI agents, local law enforcement and bank security waited. Nowadays, there are video cameras as banks and financial service firms transition from analog to network video and even to high definition when it makes business sense. Video technology is playing a greater role for security and beyond with in-the-cloud applications, analytics for better operations and to handle high-end customers and a personalized banking experience.

For one thing, analytics at the edge provides the ability to process what is happening in a field of view and discern if a relevant alert is triggered. This can be faster and less expensive than the original video analytics model of using a separate dedicated server.
