How to research video surveillance systems
Security cameras are effective tools to keep businesses and homes safe from intruders and other threats. But choosing between so many brands can feel like a chore, especially for people who are investing in a surveillance system for the first time. To make the decision easier, we’ve compiled descriptions and reviews for some of the industry’s leading office security camera providers, including specific models that we would recommend for businesses of any size.
Hardware
Video resolution, frame rate motion detection, night vision/infrared are the most important hardware specifications to consider when looking at security cameras
Software
The most important features in security camera software are analytics and reporting, cloud storage capacity, and integration with access control.
How access control can enhance your security camera system
Many of the above camera brands can be integrated with cloud-based access control to provide even more oversight and flexibility for office operators. With an access control integration, IT administrators and office managers can:
Take live snapshots of unlock events to strengthen overall security
Enforce proper use of credentials and prevent tailgating
Assign and deassign cameras to specific doors
Streamline dashboards for easy management and navigation
