Limited Processing Power = Reduced Accuracy
''The major drawback of analytics on the edge is the limited processing power of cost-effective DSPs. Many high quality video analytics algorithms have a large footprint and most DSPs do not have the memory and processing power to run them efficiently. Reduced processing power reduces the accuracy of the analytics which can lead to an increase in both false positive and false negative alerts. In a market that is demanding higher levels of accuracy from video analytics, this presents a significant problem.''
