Video Security or Surveillance - Which do you need?
Video security is all about using video to detect intruders and prevent incidents – where
video surveillance is mostly about recording for future use. In the past, video surveillance
was considered security because it was expected guards would watch monitors to prevent incidents.
However, since most cameras go unwatched, what you end up with is video surveillance,
not security. Imagine if you depended on surveillance cameras
for your office alarm? People could break in and do what they want, and upon your return
all you would have is recordings of people stealing or vandalizing your office. As surprising
as it sounds, this is the typical level of security provided by most outdoor camera systems
today. The good news is that it is now possible for
computers to watch the video and provide the necessary detection for true outdoor security.
Although this idea is not new, there are now proven solutions delivering dependable outdoor
video security for the first time. So if you’re business has a real outdoor
security problem such as theft or vandalism, video surveillance is simply not enough, what
you need is video security.
