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.
