Panasonic Digital Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, President: Yutaka Abe) launched its "Generative AI Surveillance Solution" in May 2026, which uses generative AI to detect anomalies from surveillance camera footage. This solution effectively addresses new anomaly patterns that were difficult for traditional image AI to handle and functions well even in environments where sufficient training data is unavailable, thereby advancing safety monitoring. With on-premises support, it ensures high security and is suitable for a wide range of fields, including manufacturing, social infrastructure, and public sectors.

Background of development: Surveillance operations in manufacturing sites, infrastructure, and public facilities require handling diverse needs such as equipment anomaly detection, safety management, and monitoring of abnormal human behavior. However, it was difficult to anticipate and define all these scenarios in advance. Traditional image AI faced challenges such as the need for massive data collection, high labor costs for labeling, and low flexibility. We focused on the "situational understanding capability" of generative AI and developed a new monitoring method that judges the meaning of anomalies based on the context within the video.

Key features include: no training required, high-precision and high-speed detection, and high security via on-premises deployment. Since it can utilize existing surveillance cameras, it allows for deployment with low initial investment. Furthermore, through integration with the video management system "ArgosView," it provides all-in-one support from monitoring to disaster prevention. Moving forward, we aim to realize an environment that is easy for everyone to use by advancing automatic optimization of prompt design.
