DHI vs Cloud Workplace Safety AI
Who this is for
For buyers deciding whether live workplace safety alerts should depend on cloud video streaming.
The buyer question
What changes when safety AI runs locally instead of streaming video to a cloud service?
DHI keeps the first decision local
DHI is built so the first detection event can happen on site near the camera stream. That matters for response timing, privacy review, and internet outage tolerance.
Cloud-first systems can still have a role
Cloud analytics can support reporting, fleet views, or retrospective review. The question is whether cloud streaming should sit in the path of a live safety alert.
Evaluate the failure modes
Ask what happens when the network degrades, when the cloud service changes, when bandwidth is constrained, and when the site needs local alarms to keep working.
How to use this with DHI
Use this page as a pre-pilot checklist. Pick one zone, one event type, one alert owner, and one review cadence. If the current cameras cannot support the workflow, fix the camera plan before expanding the deployment.
