Axis Just Released an AI Report Your Security Team Should Read—Here’s Why We’re Paying Attention

This AI report reads like a conversation we’ve had in boardrooms, field reviews, and project kickoffs. So we thought you might want to see it.

At Premise One, we make it a point to pay attention not just to new technology, but to how that technology is being discussed, evaluated, and applied across the industries we serve. So when Axis Communications released their global report on The State of AI in Video Surveillance, we read it closely.

We're not surprised—but it confirms what many of our clients are just beginning to wrestle with: AI isn’t a trend anymore. It’s an expectation. And if you’re leading security or risk operations at scale, this is one of those signals worth stopping to study.

Why We’re Sharing This With You

We don’t forward every whitepaper or press release. But this one stood out—because it speaks directly to the challenges you might be facing.

• You’re being asked to modernize security infrastructure—but without ballooning risk or complexity.

• You’re balancing the promise of AI-driven efficiency with legitimate concerns around privacy, compliance, and control.

• And you’re looking for partners who are already doing the homework—not scrambling to catch up.

A Few Key Signals from Axis

Here’s what caught our attention:

• 61% of customers and partners list cybersecurity, privacy, and risk as the top concern with AI in surveillance.

• AI isn’t just moving to the cloud—it’s being deployed at the edge, directly inside smart cameras, enabling real-time decisions without added infrastructure.

• The role of GRC teams in surveillance tech selection is growing—fast.

That last point is one we’ve been building toward for years: your next AI deployment isn’t just a technical project—it’s a governance challenge. And your vendor’s strategy matters.

What This Means for You (and How Premise One Is Responding)

Axis’s report confirms the direction—but it also sharpens the questions.

At Premise One, we’ve aligned with partners like Axis, AiDant, and SmartAI Connect for a reason: because their combined architecture lets us deliver edge-based AI that respects enterprise-grade requirements.

That means:

• You can run smart detection, people counting, and behavior analytics without moving video offsite.

• You’ll have clearer answers for compliance and policy teams when they ask: “What’s recorded, where does it go, and who has access?”

• And you’ll be working with a team that’s not just selling you the future—but designing around your risk model today.

One Last Thought

AI in video surveillance is happening—with or without perfect clarity. This report from Axis won’t give you all the answers, but it will show you what questions the rest of the industry is starting to ask.

We recommend you read it. And if it raises new ideas—or old concerns—we’re here to talk through what it could mean in your environment.
