Description

Electronic device for performing a network gateway function and control method thereof The present disclosure relates to an electronic device that performs the role of a network gateway and a method for controlling the same. With the widespread adoption of video processing devices (e.g., CCTV), most buildings are equipped with them. By inputting video acquired through these devices into artificial intelligence models for analysis, abnormal objects (e.g., intruders) can be identified. Generally, since these AI models are installed on servers outside the building, video processing devices face the inconvenience of having to transmit acquired video externally. Consequently, there is a concern regarding data leakage, and there was an unnecessary issue in compliance with the Personal Information Processing Act. Accordingly, there is a continuous demand for the development of intranet-based image processing systems capable of overcoming the limitations of the aforementioned technology.
