AMT & QUALCOMM
Your cameras see everything.
Now they can tell you what happened.
The Qualcomm® Insight Platform turns video into searchable, real-time intelligence at the edge. Drawbridge decides who goes through which door, and when. Together they answer the question every security team actually asks: what happened, who was there, and what do we do about it.
Footage stays on site
Recording and machine learning run on the camera or an Edge AI Box. Only metadata and thumbnails reach the cloud.
Keep your cameras
Edge AI Boxes bring the same intelligence to the cameras already mounted on your building.
One operations picture
Door events from Drawbridge and video events from Insight, read side by side instead of in two systems.
THE GAP
Two systems that each know half the story
Access control knows the credential, not the person
The reader logs that a badge opened the east door at 2:14. It cannot tell you that three other people walked in behind it, or that the badge belonged to someone who left the company in March and never handed the card back.
Video knows the scene, but nobody is watching it
The cameras recorded all of it. Finding the relevant ninety seconds means someone scrubbing through hours of footage, usually the day after it mattered, usually the person who least has time for it.
HOW IT WORKS
Intelligence at the edge, decisions in the cloud
Video never leaves the building to be understood. Analysis happens where the camera is; what travels is the description of what happened, not the footage itself.
STAGE 01
Capture
AI-enabled cameras, or the cameras you already own paired with a Qualcomm Edge AI Box.
ON PREMISES
STAGE 03
Act
Ask a question in plain language, get the clip and the context. Alert, lockdown, or export the incident.
DESKTOP + MOBILE
STAGE 02
Understand
On-device models detect people, vehicles, objects and behaviors as they happen, and index the scene for later search.
ON DEVICE
STAGE 03
Correlate
Video events line up with Drawbridge door activity — credentials, schedules, forced and held doors — on a shared timeline.
ACCESS + VIDEO
Why the order matters. Because understanding happens on device, bandwidth and cloud storage stop scaling with camera count — and student, patient and employee images stay inside the building where privacy policy expects them to be.
DIVISION OF LABOR
What each system is responsible for
AMT · DRAWBRIDGE
The doors
Cloud-hosted access control on non-proprietary hardware, trusted for over 30 years by schools, healthcare providers, municipalities and businesses.
Credentials by person and role — card, fob or phone
Door schedules that open and secure the building automatically
Instant lockdown of a zone, a building, or every site
Door-held and forced-door alerts
Access that expires on a date, not on a memory
A complete audit trail of every opening
Runs on standard readers, locks and controllers — including yours
QUALCOMM · INSIGHT PLATFORM
The scene
Edge-first, AI-powered video built to make recorded footage searchable and live footage actionable, without a cloud round trip.
On-device detection and object tracking
Natural language video search and GenAI summarization
Cross-camera re-identification and spatial tracking
Real-time alerting on the behaviors you care about
Incident workflow from first alert to export
Desktop and mobile dashboards from anywhere
Works with new AI cameras or existing infrastructure
BETTER TOGETHER
The questions the combination can answer
Neither system answers these alone. The credential without the scene is a log entry; the scene without the credential is an unidentified person in a hallway.
“One badge opened that door. How many people went through?”
Tailgating
Drawbridge records a single valid credential. Video counts the people who actually entered. The mismatch is the finding — and it is invisible to either system on its own.
“Something opened the dock door at 1:40a.m.”
After-hours exceptions
A forced or held door outside schedule raises the alert; the camera that covers it supplies the thirty seconds that tell you whether to call someone.
“Where do we actually have incidents?”
Evidence for the next budget
Door and video events accumulate into a record of where and when things happen —useful for a worksite analysis, a grant application, or a board that wants a reason.
“Who was in the west corridor between 2 and 3?”
Investigation without the scrub
Ask in plain language and get the clips, plus the door events that bracket them. What used to be an afternoon of footage review finishes before the incident report does.
“This credential was revoked. Is the person still coming in?”
Credentials that out live employment
Access ends on schedule, and cross-camera tracking shows whether someone is following a colleague through the door instead.
“Can we do this without replacing thebuilding?”
Two retrofits, not a rebuild
Drawbridge runs on the readers and locks already installed. Edge AI Boxes bring intelligence to the cameras already mounted. Neither side starts with a demolition quote.
ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE
What the models watch for
Detection runs on the camera or the Edge AI Box, so alerts arrive without a trip to the cloud and back.
Motion detection
Vehicle analytics
Crowd density
Object tracking
PPE compliance
Unattended object
Person & face analytics
Slip-and-fall detection
Motion detection
Loitering detection
Merlin
The platform's multimodal AI assistant. Ask for what you are looking for in plain language and get the moment, plus a summary of what it shows — instead of a camera grid and a scrub bar.
Footprints
Cross-camera re-identification and spatial tracking. Follow the same person or vehicle from the parking lot to the lobby to the corridor, across cameras, as one path.
DEPLOYMENT
Fits the building you have
New cameras
AI-enabled cameras with the models running natively on the device.
Existing cameras
Qualcomm Edge AI Boxes add the same intelligence to infrastructure already in place — no rip and replace to get to AI video.
Management
Cloud-managed or edge-managed, in on-premises, hybrid or public cloud environments.
Access control
Drawbridge is cloud-hosted and non-proprietary: standard readers, locks and controllers, your choice of integrator, no vendor lock-in.
Scale
One door and four cameras, or a district, campus or health system with thousands of each — the same platform and the same administration.
