For small and medium-sized facilities with less than 25 cameras, finding an appropriately sized video management program is tricky – you want to have enough power to monitor your assets appropriately, but not so much that half of the system’s capabilities never get used.
When recording surveillance footage within a facility with, say, frequently opened exterior doors, many cameras will be blinded by the light of an opening garage, affecting the quality of video of the indoor setting as well.
Many hotel designers have chafed at the notion of planning around locking mechanisms on hotel room doors, which might lend a more commercial, not residential, feel to the industry.
When a surveillance field is interrupted by privacy masks or a target passes behind a stationary object, surveillance cameras might not be able to predict that target’s next move and lose track of it.
Security officers no longer have to be tied to a desk and a wall of monitors when they can view digital surveillance footage on their iPhone or Android while patrolling a facility.
Training dispatch or monitoring personnel to use multiple systems throughout an organization can waste time, energy and money, but by using an integrated security management system you can consolidate your video surveillance, access control, enterprise IT, fire and intrusion alarms, elevator controls and building management under one view.
