Latency Benchmark Template for Edge AI Safety
Who this is for
For technical teams measuring latency in live safety AI pilots.
The buyer question
How should camera-to-alert latency be measured honestly?
Measure the whole path
Record the time from visible event to edge inference, event creation, VMS routing, local signal, and operator acknowledgement. Do not report only model time.
Separate lab and field numbers
A lab result is useful for engineering, but buyer-facing proof should come from the pilot environment with real streams and workflows.
Report conditions
Include camera count, stream resolution, edge node type, VMS path, network conditions, and event type so the number is interpretable.
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.
