Building Security
There are many challenges each company is facing today? One of the challenges is how make it safe and secure; there is a great need to protect its employees, assets as well as the company itself.
Millions of money is lost due to fraud, theft and robbery, thus plunging the company to great losses.
With the advent of new technologies, especially in the field of ICT, new products are available to answer the security needs of each company.
We opt to protect our investments as employers or business owners, that is why we properly setup security policies and procedures.
Implementing security systems such as roving security guards, burglar alarms, access controls and many others, have the limitation that we are dependent on the eyes of the security personnel and sometimes things are plainly over looked.
To compliment, Digital Surveillance System can record videos on people who are entering and leaving the company premises, an easier way to document those activities and has the ability to record recognizable images captured in daylight or even in total darkness.
It will enable security personnel to pinpoint who accessed what where and how, thereby increasing security and safety.
Significant advances of the technology allow users to access those video footages in a single site, multiple sites remotely or locally.
There is a great realization that there is no need to be physically present to monitor activities of the company. Managers can monitor the production line more efficiently, reviewing who violates the health and safety practices reducing accidents.
Connectivity are almost available anywhere, Internet, Wireless Access, Local Area Networks, Modems, so video can be accessed digitally (Web Based) using these mediums provided that you have the right usernames and passwords.
So, the greater the number of cameras installed the lesser the manpower to monitor the premises. This technology largely replaced the human eyes to monitor and record the events.
Archiving in the Digital Video Surveillance has eliminated the bulky, degenerative video tapes which are now replaced by computer hard disks.
Large capacity drive can record hundreds of hours of digital video which are compressed and stored digitally. Retrieving those stored videos can be pinpointed to what camera, date and time which be done in seconds.
Although cameras records every motion in the company’s premises, we can integrate surveillance system to other application of the departments, like for example the payroll system, it can be used to verify people who is punch in or punch out, eliminating the “buddy system” which in turns saves the company productive time.
Electronic Security systems can also be integrated in the system such as smoke detectors and relays, in which if triggers, the system will do event notification by calling phone of the security personnel, sounding the alarm or sending email messages. In this manner the company can reduce energy consumption by reducing the number of security devices.
Depending to the level of security threats, we can design a efficient and effective systems that caters to the level of the perceived security threats and other business risks. We can protect those videos against tampering thru proper use of backup systems.
