Importance of Digital Video Surveillance Systems for Businesses

In the past, grainy analog surveillance systems were seen as a technological breakthrough in the protection and surveillance of enterprises worldwide. However, with the advent of digital video surveillance, the analog technology of the past is becoming antiquated.

FREMONT, CA: For decades, analog video surveillance has been the popular industry standard for security. However, technology and associated software have advanced significantly over time, making now a perfect moment to upgrade business to a digital video surveillance system. Some reasons that digital video surveillance benefits enterprises are as follows:

MINIMIZE LOSS, THEFT, AND VIOLENCE

A digital system has more advantages than an analog system. Not only do digital security cameras capture and store more video than analog systems, but the video feed is also far higher in quality. Digital video cameras provide high-definition quality and a broader viewing angle than analog video cameras. This characteristic enables firms to see clearly what is occurring—both good and negative—within and around their facility.

Because firms can now give law enforcement high-quality photographs to use in prosecuting suspects, these crisper images enable businesses to pursue charges against anyone caught stealing or vandalizing property. As a result, they have a more effective deterrent than an analog system that captures an individual with imprecise information.

Additionally, the enhanced video resolution and coverage angles might save businesses money. With increased coverage, businesses will save money on cameras and the infrastructure required to support them.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE SIMPLICITY OF INSTALLATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTATION

Digital systems are easier to install than analog systems, need less equipment, and can assist the security team in operating the surveillance system more successfully. Analog surveillance systems require intricate wiring to monitor many video feeds. Today's modern digital surveillance systems demand far less installation and maintenance effort.

ENHANCE STORAGE AND EASY ACCESS

Digital video surveillance systems store all material captured by cameras on large-capacity DVR (digital video recorder) systems. The majority of analog surveillance systems save video material on tape recorders. This reduces the amount of video that can be kept and the ease of accessing that material. This also implies that with digital, the security team will be able to store more surveillance footage than they can with analog.

Rather than being confined to the office or sitting at a computer monitoring security footage, digital video surveillance systems give firms and their security team the option of safe, remote access. Now, regardless of whether firms’ security teams are monitoring a distant site or are on the road, they can log in from any remote location to view security footage. Additionally, multiple digital feeds are accessible from any location.

ADD RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOTE MONITORING

This is perhaps the most undervalued benefit of a digital surveillance system. With a well-integrated digital video system, firms can monitor activities on their surveillance feeds from any location with an Internet connection.

All mobile devices, computers, and tablets are permissible targets. They may access their security system and see live broadcasts or recorded footage from any of these devices.
