CCTV Solutions for the Enterprise
It is essential that organizations correctly assess their comprehensive CCTV solutions needs prior to committing to a purchasing decision.
There are many factors to consider that ensures a CCTV project is a success, and if these are not properly addressed from the beginning there is increased risk of budget and schedule overruns, stakeholder needs may not be met, and/or the solution may not be complete or cost effective in the long term.
Elements for a CCTV Solution include:
- compliance with Privacy Legislation and industry/equipment standards;
- engagement with the community, businesses and law enforcement stakeholders;
- the location and mounting of the devices;
- network connectivity options;
- integration with existing alarm and access systems;
- development and implementation of new policies and procedures;
- ongoing maintenance; and
- archiving, securing and sharing of data.
Addressing these and other critical factors will ensure a complete and cost effective solution that meets an organization’s specific needs, is accurately costed and can be leveraged to provide future business benefit.
Camera and control system technology is rapidly advancing to capture better vision and provide broader applications. Video data is not only being used for security response purposes, it is now being used to assist organizations in analyzing traffic and pedestrian flows, crowd control and safety, and for evidence in the event of crime or incident.
