Juri Knjazev from Alarmonit - computer vision and AI in the security industry

Sheaf Valley: a show about Sheffield's startups is a podcast dedicated to increasing the visibility of Sheffield's startup ecosystem and the connectedness between the different parts of it while delivering value to the listener every episode.

In this episode I spoke with Juri Knjazev from Alarmonit, a startup focused on developing the application of computer vision and AI for CCTV and security cameras. Juri studied Law in university but his interest towards technology and natural desire to solve problems every day led him to build a number of businesses with Alarmonit being his first SAAS.

Juri talks about the security industry and how computer vision can radically change the application of cameras, expanding their features to more than just observing and recording. He also shared what he thinks are the most useful traits a law student brings into the field of business.
