Video Surveillance Systems
CCTV, or closed-circuit television has been around for years and serves a very specific function in providing an air-tight or rather a video-tight security shield in this case for security protection. This active form of monitored surveillance is an effective and cost-effective security structure, and accessibility, with today’s modern technology is only an app away for viewing.
Widely considered to be one of the most effective and widely used methods of security protection, CCTV can deter and detect criminal activity. But CCTV does have its limitations due to monitoring and recording events that are and have taken place and up until a few years ago was considered pricey for professional grade, hi-quality products. There is a great deal of difference in professional grade verses some online and discount chain or big box store video systems which offer a lower grade product and subsequently limited video imagery and resolution. These camera “kits” as they are referred to are in some cases just throw away products that have limited shelf life and true video capabilities.
Video Surveillance Technology in Motion
The world of video surveillance just got better with a new, technologically advanced video alarm system called VideoFied. This revolutionary device actually uses a motion detector, to house, a video recorder that is equipped with a short term state-of-the-art video feed when activated records in real time the actual events taking place in its field of view. This is fast becoming the most innovative security device that can actually ‘verify” an alarm, something that only a monitored system could previously provide. Since roughly 90% of all triggered security alarms are false, this VideoFied product takes the guess work out of verification so that emergency, first-responders or police can be dispatched. To be able to transmit the actual scene to a central monitoring station and perform this in a stealth manor where criminals would not be able to identify that their detection is known, is game changing. Cost-effective because the system sits dormant until it is activated so active monitoring is not necessary. VideoFied systems are also the most responded to, security device detection apparatus’s, used to alert police in which they respond to immediately. Most municipalities and police budgets are stretched to the limit and having a verified alarm that a criminal or emergency situation is at hand is what these entities have been searching for all along. This VideoFied security system takes the sting out of crimes perpetrated and makes arrests easier and also allows police to know what they are dealing with before arriving on the scene saving time, money and lives.
