CCTV Monitoring
CCTV Monitoring is now accepted as integral part of most businesses, providing not just the obvious security protection and deterrent but also a vital management tool assisting in the day to day running of an organization in key areas, such as production and health and safety.
The degree and extent of how much CCTV monitoring is utilised within an organization is driven by several factors, namely; the perceived risks the business may be subject to, the need to monitor a particular area or activity and pure financial economics. It is often the case that businesses realise some benefits of CCTV monitoring that were not previously considered, just simply by now being made aware of certain activities or events that occur in the day to day. For larger organizations, however, where historically personnel have been employed to undertake security functions, manned guarding, security patrols, for example, investment in a CCTV monitoring system can pay huge financial dividends by saving many thousands of pounds per annum.
CCTV monitoring is varied and available at several different levels, dependent on the requirements of the organization. It may simply be a matter of having the facility to monitor either live or recorded images during the working day, within the premises.
More importantly, it may well be preferable to be able to view CCTV monitoring images remotely when away from the premises, via your Lap-Top, hand-held mobile device or on your home PC. These can be both live images and / or recorded footage.
Alternatively, for the higher risk sites, CCTV monitoring can be undertaken at a specialist Remote Video Response Centre (RVRC). Video alarms and images are transmitted to the RVRC upon detection of intruder activity on site, whereupon operators at the RVRC will interrogate the images and then carry out an agreed response plan, which involves contacting key-holders, a guarding company, or the police, depending on the installation type.
The effectiveness of CCTV monitoring has improved much over the years with advancing technology bringing with it an increased demand for Detection Activated Remotely Monitored systems, especially now with the speed of video transmission capability available via broadband and the image quality on offer with IP and Megapixel technology.
