Why Use-Case Count Is Not Enough in Safety AI
Who this is for
For buyers comparing safety AI vendors with long lists of supported detections.
The buyer question
Why is a high use-case count a weak buying signal by itself?
Breadth does not prove deployment fit
A platform can list many detections and still fail the first live camera zone. The buyer should care whether the chosen event class works in the real scene.
Prioritize the first operational win
A strong first pilot usually has one event class, a clear camera zone, a response owner, and a review cadence.
Ask for scene-level proof
The vendor should explain camera angle, lighting, occlusion, alert routing, nuisance review, and success criteria for the use case you actually need.
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.
