Live Video Analytics

Capture, record, and analyze live videos

Live Video Analytics is a platform for building AI-based video solutions and applications. You can generate real-time business insights from video streams, processing data near the source and applying the AI of your choice. Record videos of interest on the edge or in the cloud and combine them with other data to power your business decisions.

Use real-time analytics

Analyze live video and generate analytics in real-time to enable faster business decisions

Reduce cost

Reduce cost by saving only the video relevant to your business and processing video at the edge instead of the cloud

Plug in analytics

Integrate AI from Microsoft, the open source community, or your data scientists to fit your business scenarios

Available as IoT Edge module

Process and analyze video in your environment and on the edge appliance of your choice with Azure IoT Edge to reduce latency and elegantly handle intermittent cloud connectivity. In case of interruption, Live Video Analytics automatically syncs the latest state of your video workload when connectivity resumes.
