how often video surveillance footage provides law enforcement with the vital evidence to identify vehicles and faces connected with crime and emergency
response units with real-time video of traffic on major roadways.
CCTV – Passive and Purely Retrospective
However, CCTV systems are not without limitations. Keeping watch over a city is a complex task and requires surveillance to monitor public parking lots, tunnels, roadways, road junctions and public spaces. CCTV Surveillance systems that can meet these requirements are expensive and unwieldy at best. For all their complexity, Yesterday’s surveillance solutions don’t scale well and place a burden on staff when it comes to
monitoring and management. These video surveillance systems are often cumbersome to monitor, and users are forced to log in to server after server to view and manage surveillance data from different locations or around a city. Staff needs to manage software, purchase expensive workstations, and manually configure the system to add cameras and storage. Management teams face significant challenges in providing the proper hardware, processing, and storage for video surveillance as the network grows. For larger
city surveillance operations, the problems are multiplied exponentially. Fortunately the limitations of CCTV can now be overcome, thanks to the advancements of Internet technology and in particular, cloud video surveillance.
