Video surveillance
Video surveillance can be defined as the observation or scrutiny of a particular site for commercial and security purposes. Video surveillance cameras have become popular due to the ease and simplicity they provide when it comes to security surveillance. There are different varieties of video surveillance cameras including CCTV cameras, CCTV accessories, and video security systems.
Other types of cameras include dome cameras that can capture video images at a 360 degree angle, bullet-type cameras, day and night cameras, infrared cameras that can capture images at night, vandal-proof (unbreakable) cameras and hidden cameras. Video surveillance cameras are used in shopping malls, police cars, parks and other public places, businesses, banks, and ATMs.
Video surveillance has become an integral part of companies and law enforcement agencies that use these cameras extensively. Images and videos captured on a video surveillance camera are admissible in court as evidence. This makes them indispensable to law enforcement and law enforcement agencies around the world.
New inventions in this field, such as digital video cameras, allow companies to study customer traffic and monitor the security of any site without human intervention. Digital cameras are also available in “smart” models that are equipped with motion detection software that captures any inopportune or unusual movement.
Many criminal cases have been successfully resolved with the help of these cameras and ever-changing technology only increases the usefulness of these in the field of law enforcement. Days like Black Tuesdays would have been avoided if proper surveillance had been carried out at the airport. This is the main reason why airports and other transportation locations have beefed up security by installing smart video surveillance techniques like digital video cameras.
Video surveillance is emerging as a business and security tool that is proving essential for scrutinizing and analyzing both customers and criminals. As the IT industry experiences a boom, video cameras are the ancillary components that are becoming cheaper and more advanced.
