AI Security Enters the 2.0 Era, MaaS Becomes the Optimal Solution

The 2024 Beijing CPSE exhibition has quietly concluded. While not as large as in its heyday, as an annual industry event, the exhibition remains a window to review past industry changes and glimpse future trends.

At the technical level, security front-end devices continue to make breakthroughs in ultra-high definition, intelligence, full-color night vision, low power consumption, and integrated functionality. At the application level, many security manufacturers are continuously expanding enterprise-level business, using video-centric digital solutions to enter safety management, production management, and operations management scenarios across various industries, empowering enterprise digital upgrades.

Looking back, since the 1990s, the security industry has evolved from the analog era through the network era to the intelligent era. Early intelligence in the industry started with video structuring applications, enabling recognition and detection of people and vehicles. With the integration of AI in the industry, security monitoring can now understand more target and behavior categories.

If the previous industry "great migration" focused on improving the physical performance of monitoring equipment — the ability to "see clearly" — then in the AI era, by combining AI with security's natural perception and IoT attributes, visual IoT devices are deepening their "understanding" capabilities. Security systems are evolving from basic security prevention to safety production, quality monitoring, and environmental supervision across multiple vertical industries.

This means that security business, originally dominated by government projects, is shifting toward enterprise and commercial markets. Security companies are leveraging the versatility of their products and technologies to continuously explore new pan-security application scenarios, endlessly extending their business reach. In this process, the combination of security systems, AI, or large models has become the key to unlocking innovative application scenarios.
