Question #1256

A retail company wants to analyze live video feeds from its stores to detect suspicious activities and enhance security. Which AWS service should they use?

A

Amazon Rekognition

B

Amazon Transcribe

C

AWS IAM

D

Amazon Textract

Explanation

Amazon Rekognition (A) is the correct answer because it provides real-time video analysis capabilities to detect objects, people, text, and activities in live streams. It is specifically designed for use cases like identifying suspicious behavior in security scenarios.

Other options are incorrect because:
- Amazon Transcribe (B) converts speech to text and is unrelated to video analysis.
- AWS IAM (C) manages access control and permissions but does not analyze video content.
- Amazon Textract (D) extracts text from documents, not video feeds.

Key Points:
1. Rekognition specializes in video/image analysis and real-time activity detection.
2. The question focuses on live video analysis for security, which aligns with Rekognition's features.
3. Other services address unrelated use cases (text extraction, audio transcription, access management).

Answer

The correct answer is: A
