    The effectiveness of using a single or multiple camera CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) solutions depends on various factors and the specific security requirements. Single Camera Advantages The main advantage is cost-effective, they are more budget-friendly initially. Managing and maintaining a single camera is straightforward. Limitations A single camera can cover a specific are and detect obstacles or incidents, it only provides a restricted field of view. Blind spots may exist. If it is not positioned optimally, it may miss critical events. No backup if the camera fails or malfunction. Deploying a single camera is cost-effective and generally a good choice if the application is small. Multiple Camera Advantages Multiple cameras can cover larger areas, reducing blind spots. If one camera fails, other continue monitoring. Different camera type can be strategically placed. Multiple angles aid in identifying individual or incidents. View different areas simultaneously on a single mo

How does Artificial Intelligence Affects Surveillance?

  The good part of AI is that it can be trained to identify and learn patterns and parameters, similar to the human brain. Machine learning and deep learning are both types of AI. With machine learning, systems embedded with AI can automatically adapt and learn from events without being explicitly programmed. However, a machine can also be trained through program settings to follow a set of rules, i.e. algorithms, to give  advanced features when it comes to security. Using behavioral analytics, a self-learning, A.I. takes the data from video cameras and continuously classifies objects and events that it sees. Take for example, a person crossing a street is one classification. A group of people is another classification. AI algorithms can effectively detect anomalies, such as unattended bags or suspicious activities, and raise alerts in real-time, significantly reducing response times. Using rule-based intelligence, AI and video analysis tools enable security teams to detect potential c

Guides in CCTV Camera Installation

This guide is intended to give customers who wants their establishment or home be installed with a security camera. Camera Location The field of view is essential aspect to get the best picture of the area being protected. Entry points and critical external area need be considered. The height of the camera has to be carefully taken into account. Wired or Wireless Surveillance camera are not DIY kits that you just stick-and-dry, there are building codes necessary for safety. The installer will give the options based on the budget, either it be digital or analog. Camera Connection The rules state that you cannot just lay the wires on anything or scatter signal anywhere. There are the calbe trays, the mounting rack, etc. Mounting and Installing Cameras The recommended manufacturer camera accessories should be used in the installation. Switching the Power Security camera are powered
