LightHaus Logic has available some video analytics appliances aimed at analyzing store security camera video to help assess customer behavior in stores.  The appliances are mutli-processor nodes that can process five to twenty video streams.  Adding more appliances into a cluster can increase capacity.  The end result is supposed to be “to condense hundreds or thousands of hours of video into actionable intelligence.”  The HPCwire article has more information.

Two other recent posts talked about using HPC for other types of video processing:
