Although we are not the security technology provider here, this incident provides an excellent real world example from Alabama to demonstrate difference between high-definition (HD) commercial video surveillance systems and the traditional analog video captured by old-school CCTV systems.
An electronic security system that is used, produced, or marketed under exclusive legal right of the manufacturer is known as proprietary equipment. These systems come with downsides so it’s important to consider the pros and cons and read your contract carefully before getting locked in.
Some commercial surveillance video systems are truly wireless. These are either solar-powered or battery operated and transmit data wirelessly on a 4G or LTE network.
In this podcast episode Jason Maddox, president of Vulcan Security System explains the nuts and bolts of IP video surveillance, the types of businesses and nonprofits using video security systems to monitor the premises and improve operations.
IP cameras offer several benefits: The system is scalable and can incorporate tech advancements, offers better resolution in low-light conditions, and can be better-suited for wide area coverage.
