As the security industry embraces 4K, Ultra HD and other high-resolution imaging formats with high bitrates, recording and storing surveillance video has become one of the main challenges facing end users and systems integrators.

Striving for consistent, around-the-clock video surveillance means needing to account for dynamic lighting conditions. Here are a few recently released security solutions on the market today.

The extraLUX capability is now available for Hanwha Techwin’s X series camera range, enabling users to capture clear, true-color images in low-light conditions.

This camera combines visual and thermal video streams into a single PTZ camera for 24/7 mission-critical surveillance, such as border or port surveillance.

The built-in video analytics in this camera allows it to distinguish false triggers (tree movement, weather) from real threats.

This technology replaces the need for three different video surveillance camera application needs in just one camera.

How difficult is it for a computer (or a complete stranger) to validate the true identity of a person they don’t know? Very difficult, it turns out, especially when others may be trying to imitate them.

If you would love to upgrade or expand your security technology but are struggling to get the funding, I’d like to suggest a few strategies that could get your project the greenlight.

Shopping for the right security system can be daunting. The seemingly infinite variety of components and options can be overwhelming. Make the wrong choices and you could be stuck with buyer’s remorse for years to come. So what does it take to become a smart security system shopper? It all comes down to asking the right questions of the right people. If you approach the shopping challenge with thoughtful deliberation, the end result will yield benefits well beyond your initial expectations.
