Intel-Powered Surveillance Servers in Chicago

The Processing Foundation of Video Surveillance

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC), founded in 1968 in Mountain View, California, by Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce, manufactures the processors that power the vast majority of video surveillance recording servers worldwide. Whether a property runs Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Wisenet WAVE, or any other Windows or Linux-based VMS, the recording server almost certainly uses an Intel processor.

Why Intel Matters for Surveillance

Quick Sync Video — Intel’s hardware video transcoding engine, built into Core and Xeon processors, accelerates H.264/H.265 decoding and encoding. This offloads video processing from CPU cores, allowing a single server to handle more simultaneous camera streams. VMS platforms like Milestone and Genetec specifically leverage Quick Sync for efficient multi-stream recording.

Xeon Scalable Platform — For enterprise deployments with 100+ cameras, Intel Xeon processors provide the multi-core performance, memory capacity, and I/O throughput needed for sustained 24/7 recording workloads.

OpenVINO — Intel’s AI inference toolkit accelerates deep-learning analytics on Intel hardware, enabling on-server people detection, vehicle classification, and behavioral analytics without dedicated GPU hardware in many configurations.
