Next Level Fleet Management with Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
Summary
The latest generation of dash cameras present fleet operators with an even more powerful management tool now that advanced models are capable of reading detailed status information from the vehicle’s CAN Bus, a built-in diagnostics system found in the majority of modern vehicles. Kinesis Video Streams (KVS) sits within a family of Amazon services specifically designed to help developers manage, store and process large quantities of data. KVS offers the advantage that it’s integrated with Amazon’s other services, and fully accessible through APIs that make it easy to retrieve, process and play video streams. Companies can now integrate with computer vision analytics such as Amazon Rekognition Video, with libraries for Machine Learning frameworks such as Apache MxNet, TensorFlow, and OpenCV also available. By selecting cameras and sensors that are AWS IoT and KVS certified, fleet operators are able to unlock the powerful technologies mentioned above, with minimal R&D overhead.
