Survey Says 87% of Retail Stores May Move to Network Surveillance
A survey of retail companies says that 87% who currently use analog technology for surveillance are now considering migration strategies toward network video.
Results of the "Surveillance Survey Report" conducted by the Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) and sponsored by Axis, says that almost all companies (98%) claimed to currently use video surveillance in their stores, yet only 25% stated that they have already made the move to an all IP-based surveillance system. For those who have yet to adopt IP video technology, the number one reported obstacle to deployment was the perceived higher cost (41.7%).
