why Axis Communications doesn’t have event camera, yet? as of late 2026
Gemini Notes
- Forensic Usability: Security and surveillance demand recognizable facial features, identifiable textures, license plate contrast, and standardized color reproduction for evidence and human operators. Event cameras output asynchronous polarity coordinates rather than continuous pixel intensity or color.
- Video Management System (VMS) Ecosystem: The security ecosystem is built on ONVIF, RTSP, and standard codecs (H.264, H.265). Ingesting and storing raw neuromorphic spike streams requires dedicated software pipelines and event-to-video reconstruction frameworks.
- Static Scene Inefficiency: When a scene is completely still, an event camera produces zero data. Surveillance operators typically expect an ongoing reference frame of the environment regardless of motion.
