Proactive Video Monitoring for Home Security
Are you using or considering installation of surveillance cameras?
CCTV is the first choice for almost all end users considering implementing a security solution. However, when used as a stand-alone CCTV, while it is an effective tool for reviewing “what happened”, it is not sufficient to ensure security. In general, thieves are more likely to avoid breaking into homes that have surveillance cameras installed than those that do not have. However, there are some intruders who ignore surveillance cameras and break into your home. In the event of intrusion, people using surveillance cameras for recording will only be able to respond reactively. So, this fact is not good for users who have invested money for CCTV systems.
The goal of security systems has always been to prevent loss of life and property. However, due to the limitations of these traditional video surveillance solutions, reactive security can not achieve this goal.
This article introduces OPTEX’s Proactive Video Monitoring Solution to increase the effectiveness of your surveillance cameras and prevent crime.
Common Issues with Traditional Video Serveillance at home
Stop using after a few month
Installed a surveillance camera system at home. The user had interest and checked the video frequently in the beginning, but after a few months he only became checking it a few times a month.
False Alarms by camera’s video analytics sensing
Although using outdoor cameras equipped with video analytics sensing detection functions, false alarms occur almost every day by car headlights, cats, birds, insects, and sway of trees. As a result, even when the user receives alarms, he became only checking them occasionally.
How does Proactive Video Monitoring work?
Proactive Video Monitoring is a sensor-triggered video surveillance solution. This system immediately sends an alert to house owners by a trigger of detection of burglar alarm sensors and it enables to confirm the video of linked camera with sensors. This provides real-time warnings of potential security threats, enabling you to take action against the threat at an earlier stage and preventing crimes before it happens.
