What it means
Edge inference means the model analyzes video on a local node rather than sending every frame to a remote service first. The output is a local decision and event route.
Why it matters
Local inference reduces dependence on internet latency and external service availability for the first safety alert.
Evaluation questions
- Which hardware runs the model?
- How is latency measured from camera to alert?
- Can the node continue working during internet interruption?

Validate edge inference in a real pilot.
Use your current cameras, VMS, and response workflow to test whether the concept works in one defined zone.
