"Video analytics can help prevent crimes and serious incidents, and even help save lives"
Advances in technology have led to the introduction of new video surveillance systems like IP cameras with HD image quality, video analytics and automatic CCTV cameras.
The latest report from TechNavio emphasizes the availability of analytics-enabled cameras and encoders that allow small business owners to improve security at their facilities through continuous monitoring. Analytics-driven video management systems automatically monitor videos, thus enabling larger video surveillance deployments, which ultimately improves security.
"Video analytics can help prevent crimes and serious incidents, and even help save lives," says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.
Additionally, many companies are migrating to IP cameras from analog cameras, as they provide high-resolution videos, which can be more effective for security systems. These cameras do not require new cables and can easily work with existing coaxial cables with the help of network video recorders.
"A video management system can be combined with IP cameras to explore new applications like people counting and motion detection," says Ghaus.
