The first day of IFSEC Connect 2021- which took place on 1 June – featured industry experts discussing the future of video surveillance and Tech Talk sessions from ONVIF, Axis Communications and Cisco Meraki.

The panel discussed several themes, including how AI, deep learning and video analytics has developed to become increasingly useful for security professionals and how analytic applications have been repurposed during the COVID-19 pandemic to support in ensuring improved health and safety practices.

The discussion also covered topics such as AFR (Automated Facial Recognition), the growing relevance of integrated physical security systems and cybersecurity best practice for video surveillance devices.
