Learn how making a VMS part of your strategy plugs you into state-of-the-art surveillance.
Key Takeaways:- Video surveillance management systems consolidate your security operations
- VMS can help all business types, with retail reaping many financial and performance advantages
- Facial recognition, AI, and multi-system integration are just some VMS capabilities
- Greater staff performance, lower overheads, and greater regulatory compliance are further advantages of a VMS
How VMS provides the basics and beyond
A VMS checks the basic surveillance boxes, like recording and storage of video footage for future inspection. It’s also cheaper, since a VMS reduces the amount of hardware required to do the same job, while providing greater degrees of flexibility, freedom, and surveillance performance. Here are some of the more impressive features available depending on your provider and package:- Remote access Users no longer need to be onsite to access their video system. VMS grants the ability to access a surveillance feed from anywhere at any time via the primary user’s personal digital device. Wider access among employees can also be designated and revoked with ease. This is perfect for business owners with multiple outlets who wish to view every site but limit access for others.
- Real-time viewing and advanced search Access security camera footage as it’s captured or reverse search to study selected time periods and verify who is trying to access what, when, and where. This footage can be downloaded quickly and shared with second parties when necessary.
- Artificial intelligence and facial recognition Two of technology’s most innovative features can help mine surveillance footage for actionable business data. They can also capture the faces of suspicious parties and cross-reference them with uploaded images or persons-of-interest watchlists.
- Improved team performance Better surveillance through VMS can help organizations improve productivity in certain departments and throughout the chain. Keeping a more readily accessible eye on employees can deliver valuable individual performance data on demand. Any camera-based operations used to monitor employee behavior must be exercised with caution. Read our earlier blog to explore the potential advantages and associated risks.
