A majority of security professionals believe that there is much to gain by integrating data from traditional physical security devices and systems, including access control, video, RFID, GPS, sensors and building management systems, in to one common operating picture.
In its short history, the potential of video analytics has progressed from use in limited, niche applications to its current potential as a mainstream tool within the reach of any video end user.
There are a number of aspects of 'conventional wisdom' in the realm of physical security that just don't add up, that smack of having their origins in "the salesman made me do it," which under close scrutiny turn out to be absolutely backwards or even dangerous.
Multi-building campuses such as universities, research facilities, convention centers, hospitals and others face unique problems in implementing a total physical security solution.
The development and deployment of video surveillance technologies continues to gain momentum, and keeping pace with this success are the powerful advances being made in camera imaging.
Here’s a highly discreet and affordable solution for monitoring indoor areas – retail stores, banks, hotels, office lobbies, restaurants and warehouses – to improve security and more effectively manage one or more locations.
Harsh outdoor environments can make video surveillance a challenge. Panasonic’s i-PRO SmartHD WV-SW395 dome camera is IP66 rated for water and dust resistance and is also equipped with a dehumidification device.
A survey of retail companies says that 87% who currently use analog technology for surveillance are now considering migration strategies toward network video.
