Achieving effective security over perimeters and outdoor areas often comes down to detection accuracy and solution cost. While there are a number of options available for perimeter security, thermal video analytic cameras have become a strong contender for best-of-breed in this arena.
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.
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.
Perfect for those who want to capture high quality video but still meet low bandwidth and storage constraints, Avigilon’s HD H.264 1 MP and 2 MP IP cameras also include a fully motorized lens that provides remote zoom and focus. Multiple independent streams allow optimization of storage and bandwidth, and power-over-Ethernet means that no external power is required.
Cameras in the OnSIP™ IP camera series from Speco Technologies allows you to see color in close to dark situations. Technology in the cameras allow you to amplify existing light such as the moon, stars, vending machine light, exit signs and more in order to view dark scenarios.
As video surveillance systems continue to grow in size and functionality with new technologies driving even higher levels of performance, there’s still one basic premise that applies to each and every one of them: if the power goes down, your system is of little practical value.
At most school districts, the word “security” is synonymous with “surveillance.”
It has always been and still is the most popular security technology used in schools. In fact, school video security continues to expand faster than the overall security market.
Bigger isn’t always better and less can beat more. Important keys to the video kingdom now include aspect ratio, actual resolution, frame rate and color rendition. Standards are essential except when they are not.
It was electricity, gas, oil and water back then. But when Congress passed and President George Bush signed the USA Patriot Act of 2001, those and a lot other sectors got bundled into critical infrastructures and suddenly inherited a more intense security profile.
