Edge AI fails not at detection but at capturing the full story

While working with an edge device through an Android SDK, I noticed a key limitation in how event evidence is handled.

Current limitations in this setup

• Captures only the moment of detection
• Provides very short clips of 2 to 3 seconds
• No access to pre event context
• No visibility into post event outcome
• No option to retrieve additional footage on demand

Why this is a problem

• Lack of context leads to misjudgment
A short clip is not enough to confirm if the event is real or noise

• No pre event visibility
It is not possible to understand what led to the detection
This makes debugging and validation difficult

• No post event validation
There is no way to see what happened after the trigger
Outcomes remain unclear
