Overview

The role of Video Surveillance is expanding beyond just a component of the security system. The executive management is realizing that intelligent video surveillance can significantly contribute to a more effective operation of their business. Advances in video compression, video analytics and ubiquity of broad band internet have brought this industry at inflexion point. Actionable intelligence can now be made available, driven by relevant events as they occur, anywhere at anytime on any PC or any handheld device of their choice. Appropriate executives can be "remotely present", supervise situations in real time regardless of physical distance, make decisions and take actions as the situation demands.
