Do you feel that your lack of information about video surveillance is preventing you from making a key decision? So many people run into this: you have a key decision to make but don't have enough information to make it. I recently came across the article below and it discusses video surveillance in more detail than I have read before.

The key issues are discussed in detail and, there is even a list of important things to watch out for. Trying to make decision with only half the information can end up being quite costly. I hope you will find this article as helpful to you as it was for me.

Video Surveillance Washington Do CCTV Camera Systems Work
Author: safetysecurityCCTV camera systems over the years have captured some defining moments in history. From the last images of the crew of the Challenger to the terrible images of 9/11, CCTV camera systems have been our silent witnesses to moments in modern history that can never be forgotten.

The question remains, however, is using CCTV camera systems really worth it when it comes to documenting criminal activity. Of late, this question has been hotly debated in terms of civil rights and the effectiveness when it comes to evidence in criminal trials. There are statistics that support claims that the effectiveness of CCTV camera systems is lost when their presence is proven to not be very effective in reducing crimes in designated areas. On the other hand, however, there is also data that proves that a significant presence of CCTV camera systems curbs criminal activities and assists the local authorities in securing evidence for prosecutions and trials.

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle of these arguments, carrying the weight of documented history that CCTV camera systems are not only effective in the solving of criminal cases, but are also a great asset for [...] Continue Reading...

Choosing Analog Or IP Camera Systems For Video Surveillance (CCTV)By Abigail HamiltonThe discussion among security and surveillance video manufacturers, systems integrators, and end-users about the relative advantages and indications for different kinds of video installations is easy to oversimplify. Simplification aids end-user decision-making and furthers the business interests of equipment manufacturers and systems integrators. Industry writers also have good incentive to simplify information. The many motives include making a larger point, supporting a specific-case argument, and getting and keeping readers’ attention.

Simplification most often leads to statements like "IP video is more expensive than analog video," which are true with so many exceptions that they are not actually true at all — studies sponsored by interested parties have shown the opposite to be true, and editors and bloggers have covered the studies’ findings widely. In fact, oversimplification often leads to an assertion and its opposite both being true.

Another manifestation of oversimplification is the argument that each installation is so unique that no useful rules-of-thumb can be developed.

In this paper we provide as simple as possible an explanation of the factors which indicate analog, IP, and hybrid IP/analog video systems respectively. This paper seeks to provide a reference for editors, end-users, [...] Continue Reading...
