Edge Hardware

NVIDIA Jetson edge AI for safety video analytics.

DHI uses edge compute such as NVIDIA Jetson-class hardware to run safety inference close to the camera, protect response time, and keep raw video inside the local environment.

Integration proof

NVIDIA Jetson needs a clear path from camera stream to operator action.

The integration page should answer what connects, what data moves, what the operator sees, and what has to be validated before pilot launch.

Integration target

NVIDIA Jetson

DHI uses edge compute such as NVIDIA Jetson-class hardware to run safety inference close to the camera, protect response time, and keep raw video inside the local environment.

Camera workflow

Existing streams

Jetson-class edge hardware gives DHI the local inference layer needed for forklift conflict, track trespass, fall detection, smoke detection, and crowd monitoring without continuously streaming footage to a remote service.

Event routing

Structured alerts

The edge node reads approved camera streams inside the site environment.

Deployment check

Pilot-ready scope

Start with the camera count and incident class that matter most before planning a full estate rollout.

Security posture

On-premise video

Raw video stays on the site network while DHI routes safety metadata into the existing operator workflow.

Fit

Safety video analytics need local compute, not a cloud detour.

Jetson-class edge hardware gives DHI the local inference layer needed for forklift conflict, track trespass, fall detection, smoke detection, and crowd monitoring without continuously streaming footage to a remote service.

  • Place inference close to the camera and VMS network path.
  • Send safety metadata instead of continuous raw video streams.
  • Size the edge node around camera count, model load, and incident class.

Camera count

The node plan depends on how many streams run at once and which detection models are active.

Power and enclosure

Industrial sites should confirm power, mounting, heat, dust, and maintenance access before install.

Network segment

Compute should sit on a network path that can read camera streams and send events to the VMS with low latency.

Event flow

From camera signal to VMS alarm.

These pages should make the data path simple enough for IT, security operations, and safety leadership to review together.

1

Ingest locally

The edge node reads approved camera streams inside the site environment.

2

Infer on the node

DHI models classify safety events on local hardware without waiting on cloud inference.

3

Send metadata

Only the structured event, timestamp, confidence, and camera reference move into the alert workflow.

Pilot checklist

What has to be true before go-live.

A strong integration page should help the buyer self-qualify before the first technical call.

Size for the first pilot

Start with the camera count and incident class that matter most before planning a full estate rollout.

Confirm site constraints

Power, mounting, heat, network distance, and maintenance access affect where edge compute belongs.

Measure throughput

A useful pilot records frame rate, alert latency, event volume, and operator response.
