Edge AI Architecture – Intelligence On-Site, Not in the Cloud

Fast. Secure. Local. CrowdVision processes data at the edge – right where it's captured – to maximize speed and privacy.

Computing Power at the Source

We bring the computing power to the source. Instead of streaming video to a distant cloud, all AI analysis happens on edge devices located on-site. Raw camera feeds never leave your premises; only insights like people counts are transmitted. This ensures ultra-low latency and unparalleled privacy.

Edge Architecture

Data flows from camera to edge device where AI processing happens locally, then only anonymized insights reach the cloud

Anonymous count data

Key Insight: Raw video never leaves the edge device. Only anonymous metrics (e.g., "47 people in Zone A") are transmitted to the cloud dashboard.

Why Edge AI?

Six compelling reasons to process at the edge

Privacy & Data Sovereignty

No sensitive footage uploaded or stored off-site. Reduces risk of leaks. Anonymized metrics leave the device. Clients retain full control of data on their infrastructure.

Low Latency

Analysis done within milliseconds. Crucial for live alerts. No internet lag.

Bandwidth Efficiency

Compresses heavy video into lightweight data (numbers/events). Network stays free for other traffic.

Resilience

System works even if internet goes down. Locally stored results sync when connectivity returns. Vital for critical infrastructure.

Scalable

Modular approach; add devices to scale without straining a central system.

Future-Proof

Aligns with data governance trends favoring local processing and user control.
