Identifying the type of video surveillance solution that fits your industry

When searching for a video surveillance solution, it’s best to understand the reason why you need video surveillance and to create a list of technical requirements.

This ensures your goal is clearly laid out and that your review process will be as smooth as possible.

To help you get started, down below are a few example requirements that some of our customers have shared with us.

Traditional DVR/NVR systems require servers, hard drives and a ton of extra hardware. Alongside this extra hardware, comes more system maintenance and management as well as failing components that compromise your system and security.

With most hardware products, even with proper maintenance, things fail. And with video surveillance, hard drives and servers commonly give out only after a few years of operation.

Remote viewing capabilities are generally unavailable forcing you to physically be on-site to access and view your footage. In an era, where many of us operate from our mobile device, traditional systems can limit the value an organization can receive from a video security system.

For organizations that are looking for more flexibility and capabilities from their video surveillance, a traditional DVR/NVR system has its limitations but it can work for specific use cases and for organizations with plenty of time and IT resources.

The features that matter the most with industrial security cameras

When reviewing product specifications or features, things can get convoluted pretty quickly. In this section, we’ll provide the key features that you should focus on to help you cut through all the fluff.
