Legacy security systems, such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance or access control solutions, can significantly enhance protocols with modern technology. Machine learning (ML) is a powerful branch of artificial intelligence (AI) involving robust data analysis to identify trends and make accurate predictions. Integrating ML with your existing video surveillance systems can be highly advantageous and […] The post Integrating Machine Learning With Existing Security Systems appear...| BCD

Halloween is a season for ghosts and goblins—but for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), the real horror isn’t in haunted houses. It’s in the invisible risks that emerge when software is deployed on unknown or uncontrolled hardware. In industries like VMS, BMS, analytics, AI, access control, healthcare, and building management, software is expected to perform flawlessly. […]| BCD
Why Visibility Is Becoming Mission-Critical Video surveillance systems are no longer simple camera-to-recorder setups. Today’s deployments span thousands of cameras, multiple analytics engines, edge and core servers, complex networks, and hybrid cloud components. With this scale and complexity, the ability to see what’s happening under the hood, not just at the camera feed, is becoming […]| BCD
As GSX 2025 approaches, conversations about innovation in security, building management, and AI-driven analytics are everywhere. For ISVs, one truth is clear: delivering a complete and reliable solution is no longer optional. The risk of overlooking the hardware layer has become too costly—both for business and brand. The Business Risk Behind “Unknown Hardware” When ISVs […] The post Owning the Value Chain: Why ISVs Can’t Afford to Overlook Hardware in 2025 appeared first on BCD.| BCD
AI is booming. Globally, a total of $33.9 billion was privately invested in generative AI in 2024. At the same time, 78% of organizations are using AI in their business operations. This level of growth is supported by numerous technologies, with data centers and machine learning models being the most widely discussed. However, AI can’t accomplish much […] The post Why the Right Hardware Is Essential to AI Computing appeared first on BCD.| BCD
