Keep up with advancing technology CCTV technology
Technology moves on and frequently, whether we like it or not, drags us with it. CCTV security is one area that has seen significant advances in recent years. However, rapid progress creates problems for buyers of commercial security systems, especially when the objective is to safeguard pupils and students, and protect members of staff and public as well as property and valuables.
The choice of technology and the wider implications can be bewildering. Options for technology include choosing camera ‘power’ of up to 30 megapixels, IP (or networked) systems and advanced tools for processing CCTV footage. Software tools provide a range of enhanced capabilities, including a range of techniques for superior viewing, identification and analysis.
In many areas of business and society, compliance is an increasing challenge for organisations. Last year the ICO guidance brought information collected by CCTV into scope of the Data Protection Act. Consequently, buyers are responsible for ensuring systems meet with the requirements.
