5 Reasons Why Business Owners Should Update Their Surveillance System
|
Video surveillance is not a new concept, however over the years the technology has been slow to advance, remaining clunky, sluggish, and with poor picture quality, creating frustration for the end user.
Fast forward to 2018... Is there any good news for businesses looking to safeguard their operation? Extensive recent progress has meant advancing security systems are now utilising cloud-based video surveillance and storage. The ‘cloud’ can seem like a mystery to many, but the security benefits that it enables are vast. Intelligent Security Integration have partnered with Eagle Eye Network to offer Australian businesses a new world of protection with cloud-based video surveillance and storage. Here’s how the cloud stacks up against old-school security technology. |

1) Cost
|
For most business owners, budget is the overarching factor in any business expense. High quality, highly effective security is now highly affordable. Due to modern security management and recording systems being cloud-based, it eliminates the need for DVR’s, NVR’s and PC’s, reducing initial outlay costs that were synonymous with older style systems.

2) Ease of installation
|
|
Installing a traditional security system was expensive, complex, and time-consuming – three hugely unwelcome problems for business owners. Configuring system software, routers, storage servers, cameras, and application software proved to be considerable pain points. Cloud-based systems are on-demand and self-configuring.

3) Control / Accessibility
Modern surveillance transcends the traditional components of camera to server video monitoring. There are a scope of management and control tools available to extend your security access, creating a unified, functional security platform. ISI has teamed up with Brivo Onair to deliver a combination of physical access controls and video monitoring, with real-time accessibility from anywhere. This higher level of protection lets business owners:
The ability to remotely monitor and influence a location (or numerous locations) is invaluable to all businesses, regardless of size or industry. |
|
4) Scalable / Flexible
|
One drastic improvement in modern surveillance is the increased product flexibility of cloud-based systems. Footage can now be stored on-site or through the cloud, and Integration of new cameras or control tools can automatically connect to the existing system. Cloud-based security can now grow with your requirements, allowing you to upscale based on your business’s needs.
The lifespan of cloud surveillance now long exceeds traditional systems. This is due to ongoing, rapid evolution of cloud technology, which is automatically updated to your on-premise system. Traditional security features are fixed, with little flexibility to upgrade without overhauling the system. |
5) Quality
|
There is no denying the huge leaps that surveillance footage quality has taken in recent years. Advanced high-definition cameras are the modern standard and complement all ISI products. The introduction of Video Content Analytics is vital in triggering captured activity, while reducing time in front of screens. It effectively analyses and detects motion, facial recognition, temperature changes, and other events with incredible accuracy to take the guesswork out of your security.

Summary
Many Australian businesses have had poor user experiences with earlier versions of video surveillance. The complexity, expense, unreliability, and overall poor results of the past have deterred owners from upgrading, fearing a similar outcome. Cloud-based surveillance is the flexible, affordable solution, providing Australian’s with high quality, highly accessible security – and delivering invaluable peace of mind.
