Security Cameras-CCTV-Video Surveillance
The cameras today are simply amazing. Literally, I am amazed. Now to put that in perspective, understand that I have a strong technical background spanning decades. From learning to write computer code in the 1980s to developing eCommerce initiatives in 1995, working through corporate IT, teaching Computer Science at University and Colleges, then building several tech companies (the latest being TPG Security Technologies); I still am amazed at what mainstream surveillance offerings have to offer.
It wasn’t that long ago that CCTV (closed circuit television…aka security cameras) relied on physical tapes and media. (yes, I actually have first-hand experience with those). The resolution was terrible, and you had to search for things after they happened.
But the cameras we have today have excellent pictures, even in low-light conditions. The cameras can detect humans, vehicles, packages. Using those analytics, you can do actions like set off lights, send alert to your mobile phone, or have monitoring center dispatch emergency services. We even have systems that do facial recognition and license plate reading.
Recorded footage is no longer on clunky tapes. It’s been more than 20 years that the tape systems went away. We use onsite hard drives, solid state storage, SD cards and/or cloud based storage. It’s easy to review footage from your mobile phone or a computer.. even with multiple properties and systems.
On the small scale? Your home doorbell notifies you that a package was left on your porch. Or that a vehicle pulled into your driveway.
Beyond safety and security, camera systems can streamline your life and business. We also have camera systems that are used for quality control or business management. Besides watching for theft or damage, retail stores can detect customers waiting in lines (to automatically page additional personnel). Congested warehouses use surveillance analytics used to rearrange inventory locations and work areas.
Don’t get overwhelmed by the options! Let use at TPG Security Tech help come up with a solution that is right for you and right within your budget. We have success stories in: pharmacies, dispensaries, manufacturing, retail, small business, residential and government.
