When Cameras Think: Where Should Startups Head?

This reminds me of that old surveillance camera in our warehouse. It faithfully records every frame all day long, but finding truly valuable info means humans have to scrub through it frame by frame. What Hikvision showcased at WAIC this time turns the camera into a "thinker"—it doesn't just see; it understands what's happening in the footage and can even answer questions like "Did anyone fall into the reservoir?" Sounds like sci-fi, but Hikvision is actually doing something very practical: stuffing AI into hardware shells so it can work in real-time on-site.
