New video capabilities have enhanced – and continue to enhance – all video surveillance
Improved cameras and thermal imaging allow better detection at greater ranges
Greater resolution and clarity enable biometric identification of targets
Increased use of artificial intelligence allows more focused alerts
Improved compression allows more data to be collected and
stored

Backside improvements
• Improved interoperability allows integration of multiple sensor feeds
• Cloud, compression, big data analytic tools allow improved storage and analysis

Border video challenges
• Inhospitable terrain• Integration of multiple sensors (land, air, sea
+ modes: digital, IR, thermal, etc.)• Communications and response• Power sources• More intelligent systems, fewer false alarms• Central monitoring and response

Generic challenges to overcome
• Priorities: “Technology, infrastructure and personnel” – David Aguilar
• Asset management• Funding• Cost-effectiveness• Dynamic nature of the border
The Holy Grail: Best technology use for a safer and more secure border
