Edge inference for public safety — when latency is liability
City-scale video analytics can't tolerate cloud roundtrip. We unpack the architecture choices that make sub-150ms inference reliable.
Public-safety video systems live or die on inference latency. A detection that takes 800ms is a citizen lost. We move inference to the edge — but the architecture is harder than it looks.
