Often, the heads of organizations entrust all the security functions to the video surveillance systems in the office. However, they cannot be fully provided when using only video cameras. The main problem of the systems is the routine work of the operator, whose duties include many hours of monitoring “silent” scenes. In addition, this is an additional cost for the employee's salary.
Specialists developing video surveillance systems to some extent coped with this problem by creating systems with video analytics. These systems detect and classify targets (moving cars, people, etc.), accompany them, and also inform the operator about emergency situations, helpfully providing real-time video footage.
High-quality software for smart IP cameras is the key to the success of the entire security system. However, do not limit yourself to implementing only video surveillance. Protection will be complete only with an integrated approach to solving the tasks.
Video surveillance in office premises can be conducted not only by you, but also by your competitors. Sophisticated technical tools help them connect to the channels that transmit the image from the cameras to the operator’s monitor and intercept the signal. On the other hand, they can implement their hidden camcorders, which can only be detected , in the capable hands of an experienced security officer.
In addition, surveillance systems with integrated analytics help provide additional fire safety in offices. It can be integrated with any alarm system. It detects fire and smoke in the room at the time the outbreak occurs, and reports this to the operator. Thus, IP video surveillance eliminates all the disadvantages of a fire alarm.
In addition to offices, CCTV systems are used in restaurants and cafes to control visitors (prevent unauthorized smoking), they help to see which of the drivers throws garbage out of the windows of the car. In cinemas, the system can count the number of spectators in order to prevent the sale of so-called “left” tickets.
CCTV systems help us in all spheres of life, we should not underestimate their ability, but we also have high hopes for them. At the same time, the global introduction of video analytics will help reduce crime and help streamline society.
