We are building out a demo system for one of our schools.

After watching Tom’s AI Key video, he mentioned there was a detection cue depth of 200 and capibility of 1,000 detections an hour. I noticed, since Tom’s video, Ubiquiti has upped the detections to 1,800 smart detections/hour and increased the price of the device. Did this also increase the cue depth? How many Ai Keys would you guess we’d need?
The queue length is the same at 200.
Also it depends on the traffic described in the FAQ
So maybe start with one and go from there.
Thanks for the reply, the 1,000 smart detections is outdated now and they are updating the website/documentation.
I reached out to Ubiquiti and they said, “The updated technical specifications for the AI Key list a compute capacity of up to 1,800 smart detections per hour. This reflects an increase in processing capability; however, the event queue limit behavior has not changed.“
“At this time, the increase in compute capacity to 1,800 smart detections per hour for the AI Key is due to software and firmware optimisations, not a change in the physical hardware itself. This means the same AI Key device now processes more detections per hour thanks to improved efficiency in the detection algorithms and system scheduling.”
We’ve ordered 2 AI Keys for now. We’ll see how it goes.
The thing to remember is that it’s not a simple calculation because it varies but how many events are happening at once. The AI key will catch up indexing the events when there are less of them occurring. I would imaging in a school setting the event detection would be very high when there are events like kids coming to and from school, lunch, recess, etc… but it would catch up during those in between periods.
I agree; I think the goal would be to purchase enough AI keys to contain the massive influx of detections.
We’ve purchased two for now. We’ll see how it goes. We can always turn off detections on some cameras or adjust the region of interest to reduce detections. At $800 a pop, they are fairly cheap to keep adding on. Especially after receiving quotes and demos from a few other vendors (Verkada, Rhombus, Coram, and Avigilion).
Yes, they are WAY less than other vendors as many of the competing systems have recurring fees. And how many you need comes down to how fast you need those detections.
