Proactive Video Monitoring to improve CCTV surveillance efficiency and effectiveness
Many factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities use security systems with surveillance cameras. 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. Such reactive systems that respond to crimes after they occur cannot prevent crimes. So, this fact is not good for users who have invested money for CCTV systems.
Additionally, video surveillance systems that record constantly generate a large amount of data, making it impractical for security operators to review footage in real time without missing any emergencies. This can lead to delays in responding to security threats, which may provide loss to you, your property or business.
This article introduces OPTEX’s Proactive Video Monitoring Solution to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your surveillance camera system and prevent crime.
Common issues with Traditional Video Surveillance system
Maintain human performance for 24/7
Installing multiple surveillance cameras and security guards in the monitoring room are checking the monitor screens 24/7, but this is inefficient and there is a possibility that threats may be missed.
False Alarms by video analytics detection
Some cameras with video analytics detection are not capable of being used in outdoor environment as they often cause false alarms.
Also, performance decreases especially at night or in bad weather.
Over-budget
It’s difficult to build integrated system with CCTV and intrusion alarm system because it’ll be over budget if using VMS (Video Monitoring system) or dedicated platform.
How does Proactive Video Monitoring work?
Proactive Video Monitoring is a sensor-triggered video surveillance solution. This system immediately sends an alert to security operators or facility owners by a trigger of detection by 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.
