Thanks to modern advancements in security technology, there are more reasons than ever to upgrade from an analog video surveillance system to an IP (internet protocol) video system. Here are five reasons why upgrading analog video systems with IP tech is a smart investment.

Future ready real-time remote monitoring solutions use IoT technology to monitor assets, enabling organizations to efficiently manage operations.

IoT technology use is increasing worldwide because advanced devices are providing the real-time data collection tools and Cloud-based analytics solutions that organizations need. Multiple businesses and enterprises are discovering that investing in IoT smart building technology helps optimize resources and save money.

Energy Management and Information Systems (EMIS) are broadly defined as software, data acquisition hardware, and communication systems used to manage building energy use. Comprised of devices, hardware, software, services, and analysis tools, EMIS are helping enterprises reduce building energy costs and significantly lower their carbon footprint.

In business, the potential for unforeseen risk looms everywhere. Fortunately, preventable losses are avoidable losses, and companies are learning that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Taking a proactive approach to operational and security risk management is the most efficient way to mitigate risks. Proactive real-time solutions, including AI-based video surveillance cameras and advanced data analytics, are helping enterprises detect and mitigate risks quickly.

Today's HD cameras and AI-based software and analytics do significantly more than simply relay and record video. Smart video surveillance systems can recognize suspicious behavior, flag unwanted persons, identify unsafe objects, and even identify elevated temperatures.  Additionally, these systems immediately alert school safety monitors with live-video of the person, object or unsafe event.

Traditional safety and security methods typically blend on-site security guards, security patrols, and surveillance cameras that relay captured video to a recording device. Nowadays, modern security camera technology and advanced software functionality allow today’s AI-driven video security systems to deliver the higher ROI.

One of the best ways for owners and operators to improve safety in lots and garages is to install smart video security equipment. That means investing in state-of-the-art, rules-based, live-video surveillance cameras with real-time monitoring capability. Real-time monitoring, or proactive monitoring, refers to advanced video analytics technology that immediately alerts you of unauthorized activity. 

Millions of dollars are lost to property crimes each year. Sadly, police solve rates for such crimes grimly hovers under 20%. Increasingly, the biggest crime-solving asset available to law enforcement is real-time footage captured by smart video security systems. Unlike traditional CCTV, smart video security systems carry advanced facial recognition and appearance search features.
