Upgrading Your Surveillance Cameras Shouldn't Mean Cutting Back on Your Staff

In such a critical capture environment as security, the search for innovation must be constant. These words are spoken and written about daily by security surveillance professionals. We’ve even spoken about this in the past that critical infrastructure locations and NOC managers need to stay on top of industry trends. Camera Surveillance systems are integrating with IT to combine into smarter platforms that capture intruders in real time allowing NOC managers to sound the alarm quicker and more efficiently. But what does this mean for staffing at automated network operations centers? We think it means that human capitol at critical infrastructure locations can be more efficiently used to monitor and respond. Adding intelligent video analytics to the protection force and upgrading surveillance cameras doesn’t mean cutting back on staff. It should mean the adverse by allowing response times and coverage to expand, making the perimeter more un-penetratable. Having rapid response times to alarms can help critical infrastructure locations thwart unwanted attacks and put real feet on the ground instantly and to the exact locations in need. In today’s world, the terror strike on materials that cannot be compromised will remain a real threat. A threat that requires keeping up with the “Joneses”, and keeps workers on the job.
