An AI camera is a camera system that uses artificial intelligence to analyze captured images or video in real time. Instead of only recording footage, it can recognize objects, people, activities, faces, movement, or unusual events and respond according to programmed rules.
AI cameras are used in applications where visual information needs to trigger an immediate action or decision. In retail, they can analyze customer movement and store traffic; in manufacturing, they can identify product defects; and in security, they can detect restricted-area entry or suspicious activity. Depending on the system, capabilities may include computer vision, object detection, facial recognition, edge AI, and automated alerts.
