Video Surveillance

Any security solution should include video surveillance of the building and grounds, or at least significant parts of it. Aside from the obvious fact that a camera system can provide you with recordings of past events, such systems can have many more uses. 

Installing cameras inside and outside a building acts as a great deterrent to internal and external theft. This can also give employees and visitors a sense of security while on your premises. 

Cameras can be used to comply with health and safety regulations by monitoring production and shipping processes. For example, if a pallet of goods is blocking an emergency exit in a warehouse, the camera can send an alert to the responsible person so the problem can be resolved before something bad happens. 

Retail stores can use camera systems to count people entering their stores and give them an idea of customer traffic which can help them to improve their sales. 

Today, video systems have many intelligent features, commonly referred to as video analytics, where the system looks for specific behaviours, such as: Line Crossing, Object Removal, Object Leaving Behind, Loitering and more. Video analytics in cameras can be used to track a person in a building, or cameras can be used to send out an alarm when a condition for a video analytics function is met. 

When combined with other systems, video surveillance systems simply shine. In combination with an alarm system, for example, an event generated by the camera's video analysis can trigger a siren or switch on a light. Connected to an access control system, video surveillance can be used to open parkade entrance doors when the camera registers the correct license plate of a vehicle attempting to enter the parkade.

These are just a few examples of how video surveillance systems can help you in your business.
