Sky Hawk Artificial Intelligence” (SkyHawk AI) is the world’s first artificial intelligence video surveillance hard drive by Seagate, with unprecedented bandwidth and processing power to support the management of all-weather, data-intensive workloads, and at the same time analyze and record images from multiple HD cameras.
Seagate Artificial Intelligence Hard Drive
With the use of network video recorders (NVR) to join the analysis of sensors, the global demand for video surveillance hardware has exponentially increased and projected to grow even further from 27.6 million in 2016 to 12 million in 2021, Seagate proposed. This growth can only be achieved if AI is particularly involved in deep learning and machine learning applications such as facial recognition, irregular behavior analysis, and so on.
