Technology continues to evolve at a pace that creates an environment where the abundance of choices and information can sometimes become overwhelming. Having a conversation about what current video surveillance technology can do in simple terms is helpful, as a security leader in charge of technology within the organization must sift through the available options and capabilities that weren’t readily available in the recent past.
