Video Surveillance

Video cameras are the only way your security staff can be in multiple places at once and keep a watchful eye. But you don't need a dedicated security team to benefit from video cameras in your facility. Long gone are the days of video tapes, as digital video recorders are commonplace in the video surveillance arena. A good video surveillance system can keep an eye out not only for external threats, but internal mischief from employees.

Video surveillance is useful in more than just convenience store knock-overs; they can provide undeniable evidence in civil or criminal cases, as in burglaries, petty theft, criminal mischief, vandalism, assault, sexual misconduct, and even misappropriation of company property by employees. In criminal cases, where the burden of proof is always on the prosecution, video evidence can be the difference between conviction and acquittal.

Video cameras of today are smaller, produce sharper images, and can be made to operate well in even the most harsh conditions. DVRs store the video into internal hard disks (like your computer) which can hold weeks to possibly several months worth of video. Plus, the video never fades and always looks as good as it did when it was recorded.

Video surveillance systems can be as small as one or two cameras in a small room to large, multi-site systems that span around the globe. They can even integrate with access control and intrusion detection systems so you can keep an eye on who opens a door -- whether they're authorized or not. And the integration doesn't stop there -- you can even integrate point-of-sale systems to have live transactions logged right in the video!
