Today’s video surveillance solutions are networked and digitally archived, offering accessibility from anywhere (home, office, smart phone) and providing interoperability and simple scalability. With recent advances in technology, digital video surveillance systems are economically attainable for anyone, from homeowners to small businesses to large corporations.
A new book published by Elsevier, “Digital Video Surveillance & Security” provides a blueprint for the IP-based electronic security system clients need, allowing security professionals to protect their client’s place of business or home. The author gives plans on the best camera position, areas of coverage, hardware and software to select in order to maximize the effectiveness of newer lower cost networked technologies. Illustrations describe the integration of such components as the current or new security system, door and window sensors, or other access controls, instantly launching a video of the area under the surveillance on a computer or HDTV.
Features:
Vendor-neutral comparisons of camera equipment and recording options
Highly visual presentation
Case studies and descriptions of best practices
