The New Generation of Security Technology

"Smart" Cameras See People, Not Things, and Send Alerts to the Monitoring Station 

Businesses and other building managers have been utilizing video surveillance as a key component in their security’s infrastructure for years. Security guards monitor the activity on the monitor and NVRs or DVRS store video to play back clips on demand.

Unfortunately, the cost of hiring a full time security guard and building upon your existing network isn’t always easily justified. In addition, cameras that catch the activity for forensic evidence won’t guaranty prevention of the criminal act.

Video analytics has the capability to distinguish people,
animals and vehicles to help eliminate false alarms.

Video monitoring, a security solution which utilizes adaptive video analytics with advanced camera technology to send images to the monitoring station, offers a more proactive approach to video surveillance for 1/5th the cost of a guard service. With video monitoring, theft and other acts of vandalism can actually be prevented as the motion activated video clip signals to the live person at the central monitoring station. This person then determines if the proper authorities need to be contacted, whether it be management personnel or the police.

Video monitoring can be a stand-alone system or easily integrates into your existing video surveillance. It is ideal for:

1. Energy substations prone to copper theft
2. Parking lots and outside equipment lots
3. Offices, warehouses and storage areas
4. Remote locations requiring wireless security, like boat docks and street corners
5. Multiple-site security
