Video surveillance technology is a very powerful tool that can not only help prevent criminal activity and catch criminals, but it can also be used as a very effective management tool to document and track the actions of employees, including adherence to company policies, improving customer service, identifying the best retail merchandising plans, managing vehicular traffic, and much, much more.
As a result, surveillance and security system designers spend considerable time and effort determining the best possible cameras to use to provide maximum video coverage and analytics data for the variety of applications installed at customer locations. Managing this potentially vast amount of data is the key function of a Video Management System (VMS).
