What Is An AI Camera? What Makes It So Powerful?

AI cameras help to save time by smartly performing the requisite image processing/enhancement in real time, which would otherwise require hours of toiling with the image on Photoshop or Lighthouse—commercial-grade image editing software.

Computational photography is usually the core of an AI-powered camera. The subject of computational photography is generally split into subsets of technology trying to mimic what humans do, such as voice recognition, voice-to-text composition, image/face recognition, computer vision, and machine learning.

A company called Athena Security has developed AI for cameras to spot guns and notify law-enforcing authorities. Whenever this AI-enabled camera spots a gun in the vicinity, it sends a notification to the business owner or nearby law enforcement office.
