Figueroa ColePANELIST

D- Is there any plans of any kind of supporting role for them on that?
Sarah EdgertonGUEST
58:31
Um, where we would, where we would provide support would be through, uh, the Genetec, uh, system, the camera management system, and making sure that we have the connections that they need.
Figueroa ColePANELIST

Okay.

Uh, today, I'm here with Andrew Elvish from Genetec.

But, you know, every year we do the State of the Industry report from Genetec, and one of the things we saw is there's a huge appetite for AI in the security industry.
Andrew ElvishGUEST
1:04
But the number one sort of thing that was holding, I believe it was 70% of respondents, end user respondents, 70% of what was holding them back was wanting to know about responsible AI development.
Evan LightGUEST
65:03
The first, you mentioned a couple times that we're not using Flock in Canada.
Evan LightGUEST
65:08
Um, what are we using? I saw a few weeks ago in Montreal, the, the CBC covered some public outcry over a camera manufactured by a Montreal manufacturer called, uh, Genetec, um, that-- And people had noticed this ALPR that had been deployed somewhere in Montreal, just one camera on its own, and with all the public, um, attention on, on Flock.
Evan LightGUEST
65:32
It's okay, what is this? And the Montreal police said, "We're using this camera for a specific in- investigation.
Evan LightGUEST
65:40
We deployed this here, and we're going to take it down when we're done with that investigation." So I know Genetec is used in Canada, or at least in Montreal in this one instance.
Evan LightGUEST
65:49
But what, what is being used by police in Canada?
Alana SaulnierGUEST
65:52
Yep.

There's even a small but growing online movement in the US called Deflock the Night, where people are taking and damaging these cameras on Halloween while disguised.

While Genetec doesn't directly use facial recognition, third-party AI systems can potentially add that capacity.
