Connected cameras will get smarter with new Qualcomm chips
While most of IT is consolidating around the cloud, in some ways the internet of things is moving in the other direction. Vendors are putting more computing power into devices near the edges of networks, like sensor modules and gateways.
That's because it can be faster and less expensive to do filtering and analytics where the data is collected than to send it all the way to a distant data center. In some cases, this can reduce communications costs and help IoT respond to events more quickly.
Connected cameras are among the hardest-working IoT devices, sometimes streaming high-definition video around the clock for surveillance and streaming entertainment. They’re the target of chip and software enhancements that Qualcomm is introducing on Tuesday. The company is announcing these offerings along with other advances at its 4G/5G Summit in Hong Kong.
