By addressing parking lot security with cutting-edge video surveillance, businesses are finding that they’re not just protecting assets parked outside, they’re securing interests across their entire footprint.

Cloud migration, occupancy tracking and video analytics are all top-of-mind technologies for security leaders looking forward to 2022, according to year-end predictions from Genetec.

Video surveillance has evolved with changing technology. Artificial intelligence-enabled surveillance presents various opportunities for public application.

Security and operational requirements are changing. Technology offered by smart cameras is providing an entirely new way of monitoring and controlling safety measures and optimizing security processes within manufacturing and logistics.

Thanks to advancements in cloud video surveillance, retailers who want a high-performance video surveillance system do have alternatives to ripping and replacing and expensive upgrades. For both heightened security and business optimization, here’s what retailers should look for in a video management system and provider.

Two common options for surveillance and perimeter protection are visible cameras with near infrared illumination capabilities and thermal imaging cameras—both are optimal for distinct situations. However, optimal lighting isn’t always available or guaranteed, especially when a scenario calls for 24-hour awareness for security applications, including outdoor, remote, or rural locations, or if there is need to see beyond the fence line to identify and react to incoming threats. 

Technologies such as occupancy management, automated visitor management and touchless access control applications are increasing in demand – turning up the dial on interoperability as organizations seek to deploy best of breed solutions. To power these technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud storage and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving new functionalities and new uses from existing technologies to deliver customized applications for pandemic related health, safety and security issues. While this year might bring a number of uncertainties, we remain confident that the industry will continue to see growth and demand for these trends.
