According to experts' estimates, by the end of 2025, Vietnam will have more than 20 million surveillance cameras in use. This number is growing strongly every year, showing that the need to use cameras is becoming increasingly urgent.

Thanks to the powerful integration of artificial intelligence (AI), cameras are now smarter, taking on many roles such as security, monitoring, operations management...

In Vietnam, the "wave" of developing AI camera systems is also spreading strongly, from pioneering technology corporations to small and medium enterprises, creating profound changes in economic and social life.

Vietnamese businesses "catch the wave" of AI cameras

Thanks to serious investment in AI cameras, Vietnamese enterprises such as BKAV, VNPT Technology, Viettel High Tech, FPT Camera AI... meet the localization trend, helping enterprises "catch the wave" to go far.

According to Mr. Doan Manh Ha - General Director of Bkav AI, realizing the potential of AI very early, since 2017 the company has developed AI on phone lines. In 2018 Bkav also had a strategic cooperation with Qualcomm to research and develop AI Camera.

Bkav AI General Director affirmed: "After 8 years, Bkav has mastered 20 out of 23 essential core technologies to build a large-scale AI camera system.

This mastery covers everything from electronic hardware design, mechanical design, manufacturing to system software and especially AI technology.

For the remaining three technologies including microprocessors, image sensors and optical lenses, the company integrates solutions from the world's leading partners.

According to Q&Me's report, FPT Camera AI is the unit with the most used domestic security cameras in Vietnam.

Compete with "local" advantage

The AI camera market is now becoming fiercely competitive, especially in the low-cost segment, requiring Vietnamese businesses to constantly innovate and improve product and service quality.

Along with that, investing in AI technology requires talent and high costs, so Vietnamese businesses must enter a long-term battle.

Mr. Doan Manh Ha analyzed: "Reality has proven that the capacity of Vietnamese engineers is very good.

Since 2019, we have proactively built an AI R&D team by training talented students from leading universities such as the University of Science and Technology, the University of Posts and Telecommunications, and the National University. With a solid foundation, we have successfully mastered and developed many complex AI solutions."

Taking security capabilities and local advantages as the focus, many solutions are utilized by Vietnamese businesses to become the "spearhead" of development.

The "big guys" in the AI camera industry all choose to place data centers in Vietnam, encrypting data with algorithms to avoid information leakage abroad.

To solve this problem, at FPT Camera, data is stored on the Cloud with a Tier III standard data center located in Vietnam, providing data security, fast access speed and the ability to review videos anytime, anywhere with low latency.

With its strength in security solutions, Bkav AI deploys a 3-layer security system including: Controlling the entire chain from device hardware, system software (firmware) to AI algorithms, which helps completely eliminate the risk of "backdoors" or unwanted vulnerabilities from third parties; experience from experts and integrated network security solutions right from the design stage, ensuring the system is comprehensively protected.
