4 Advanced Features Modern Commercial Surveillance Cameras Have
Learn how new, state-of-the-art surveillance technology protects your business and property 24/7
In the past, commercial surveillance cameras have been passive devices. While they were able to record events in and around your Lafayette, LA, property, they required a dedicated human being to watch the footage and glean useful insight or evidence. Today’s advanced cameras have smart technology features that enable them to be more active: they can detect and identify people and objects, analyze events, and send instant alerts, allowing you to take swift action when a security breach occurs.
Keep reading to learn four state-of-the-art surveillance features that provide more robust coverage to your security system.
Perfect Nighttime and Daytime Image Quality
Your surveillance cameras aren’t worth much if the footage is too dark or grainy to identify people and events. Today’s advanced surveillance cameras come with 4K HD video quality and color night vision to produce clear images in low or pitch-black lighting conditions.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging cameras are a high-end solution for areas around your property with little-to-no light or ones that are often obscured in smoke, fog or poor weather conditions. Instead of relying on light to identify people, thermal cameras use infrared heat sensors to detect and identify a person’s heat signature. They’re able to track the heat signatures of intruders moving across your property, even in complete darkness, making it almost impossible for thieves to escape your surveillance.
Artificial Intelligence
Advanced video analytics software with artificial intelligence is capable of so much more than passively recording video footage around your property. AI and machine-learning software can recognize people, vehicles, license plates, animals, inanimate objects, events and more. You can program specific rules that will trigger an alert when the cameras detect certain circumstances. For example, you can instruct your surveillance cameras to send out a mobile alert when a person steps into camera range after business hours or a car drives into the parking lot at night.
Additionally, advanced video analytics enable searchable video. The software allows you to find and watch specific video clips using search words like “bicycle” or “police car.” You no longer have to waste time sifting through hours of footage to find what you’re looking for.
Remote Access
All too often, you don’t find out about a security breach until long after the event occurs. But advanced security features like remote access allow you to take a more proactive approach to property security. With a smart camera powered by video analytics, you’ll receive mobile phone alerts when a suspicious event occurs. Once you get an alert, you can instantly pull up the live stream footage from your smartphone or laptop, review the situation, and take appropriate action.
Additionally, you can watch the live stream or recorded video footage anytime you want, from anywhere in the world, using your smartphone or laptop.
