4 technologies that have transformed the world of surveillance
Security is a top priority for many commercial premises. However, securing a commercial premise is no easy task. This is because securing these premises requires advanced technologies and sophisticated security gadgets. In this regard, traditional security systems are no longer sufficient.
The inefficiencies of traditional security systems have led to increased demand for new and innovative solutions. In response to this demand, there are several innovative security solutions that have been developed. Below are four innovative security solutions that have transformed the security sector.
The SafeZone Technology
SafeZone is a new and innovative surveillance technology that can be deployed in large and crowded commercial complexes. The technology works by detecting any weapons carried by an intruder. This technology will be integrated with existing CCTV cameras and acts as a sentinel for identifying armed intruders. When the technology detects the presence of a weapon it either alerts law enforcement agents or automatically tracks the intruder via video. Additionally, the technology can be designed in such a manner that it automatically closes all doors whenever a weapon is detected. Information on this technology is still scanty and it is widely expected that it will be rolled out in 2017.
DVTel 4K
The DVTEl 4K system is essentially a camera system that offers better clarity than existing video cameras. This camera system gives security agents more clarity and detail. The system’s camera feed shows four times more pixels than a standard 1080 pixel camera. Thus, it can best be described as a high-definition video camera system. Ideal for malls and large companies this security system makes it easy for security agents to do facial recognition. The camera system works with a locked down data centre or a company headquarters where the collected data is analysed.
360-IQ
The 360-IQ makes it easy for retailers to go through different video feeds from their smartphones. Therefore, the system channels feed from a retail store’s video cameras to one smartphone. The system is in the form of software that is compatible with most hand-held computing devices. The system derives its name from its unique 360 panning feature. With this, a user is able to tilt it at a 360 angle and view different parts of a store.
Video Surveillance
Video surveillance is an emerging trend in the security sector. This kind of surveillance entails the use of videos that can be kept in cloud storage. Essentially, this makes it easy for users to access feeds and makes surveillance easy to manage. With video surveillance, the entire process becomes easier.
Conclusion
The security industry has undergone several transformations as criminals have become more sophisticated. To counter this, security agents have had to deploy innovative and equally sophisticated mechanisms to stop criminals. Thus, while the above-discussed innovations are arguably some of the best the industry has to offer, they are not the only ones. Thus, commercial premises have a wide array of security options to choose from. In conclusion, the security sector is likely to witness more innovative solutions in the coming years.
