i-PRO highlights the importance of AI in physical security

In the report by i-Pro Key forecasts for the physical security market are shown in this 2025. The main trends and dynamics that will mark the sector are highlighted.

i-PRO highlights the four interconnected trends that will redefine the way businesses, Integrators and practitioners will address physical security this year.

The reflections that are reflected highlight the transformative role of the artificial intelligence (The), The Expanding Cloud Computing and the growing importance of the Edge Processing.

Edge processing of AI-powered analytics is transforming the security landscape by enabling systems to move beyond reactive responses to adopt proactive and preventative approaches.

This change allows organizations to deal with incidents before they escalate, improving both safety and operational efficiency.

However, The development and deployment of artificial intelligence technology must balancing innovation with responsibility. Ethical use, Privacy protection and transparency will be essential as the data collected is increasingly integrated into business systems and security solutions.

In 2025, AI's role at the edge within the security sector will deepen, with advanced algorithms that will enable real-time threat detection, On-site learning capabilities and the initiation of contextual knowledge that allows operators to act before incidents occur.

“AI and on-site learning camcorders move away from the 'one-size-fits-all' model’ and allow you to customize features to meet the specific needs of each organization. By learning objects and features in situ, Different events can be tracked and analyzed, Further Enhancing Security and Operational Intelligence”, Says Hideo Noguchi, Chief Technology Officer of i-PRO.

Data integration and decision-making

Modern AI cameras and security systems can generate an overwhelming volume of data. The challenge for 2025 it won't just be collecting more data, but to filter and integrate them effectively.

AI will play a critical role in summarizing and contextualizing information, which will help operators focus on actionable data. Although AI can suggest courses of action based on data patterns, Human decision-makers will continue to be instrumental in interpreting and applying this knowledge.

“Data integration will also be critical. Security systems must go beyond siloed solutions to deliver a seamless flow of information between devices and platforms”, comments Gerard Figols, i-PRO Product Manager. “Visualization tools will ensure that data is presented intuitively, allowing operators to make informed decisions quickly. It will be more important than ever to combine these powerful edge computing devices with a compatible video management system to interpret the vast amount of data available”.

Balancing Edge and Cloud Computing

Although cloud computing will continue to offer flexibility and scalability, Rising costs and latency issues will lead to renewed attention to the role of edge computing.

When processing data locally (Inside the Chamber), Edge Computing Reduces Reliance on Cloud Infrastructure and Computing Resources, while improving response times and data accuracy by eliminating compression losses.

New Advances in Chipsets, such as those of Ambarella, are about to unlock generative AI capabilities at the edge, A significant step forward in customized, decentralized AI applications.

The Generative AI It will allow systems to better anticipate and simulate potential threats. Features and performance that were previously only possible in the cloud or on powerful servers, such as the recognition of more complex scenes, Text conversion and search that uses direct text inputs for analyses run at the edge, will enable integrators to build systems that are lower power efficient and more secure and cost-effective.

Ethical AI and Open Platforms

As AI capabilities expand, The sector must prioritize the Ethical Practices and the measures of Cybersecurity Solid.

i-PRO is committed to ensuring that AI applications respect privacy and align with customers' core values.

Open platforms will continue to be the cornerstone of this approach, as they will allow integrators to create ecosystems that foster collaboration, Personalization and innovation, maintaining the highest levels of cybersecurity and data integrity.
