The Rising Use of HD IP CCTV in the Finance Sector

Monday, June 10th, 2013

Recently published research has revealed that seven out of ten city and finance businesses will invest in IP surveillance technology in the next year.

The study, which took the form of a focus group session, found that investing in high definition integrated IP CCTV technology was a key priority for the sector.

The research, published on Security News Desk, found that 70% had an intention to invest in IP surveillance over the next year. One of the main reasons cited was changing security threats in the industry.

55% of the participants also suggested that the likelihood of that investment happening in the next 12 months.

Benefits drawing them to make the change were far superior technology such as motion detection, object tracking, object classification and behaviour recognition. Video surveillance was also sought after, with 45% citing an interest within the next year. Meanwhile, 27% express interest in facial recognition.

The increasingly advanced and affordable technology in business security systems offered by AlertSystems is allowing more and more companies to make the most of advanced technology and benefit from sharper images as well as a range of other intelligent detecting systems to find and identify unusual and out of the ordinary events quickly and easily – allowing superior search when its needed.

For the finance sector, security systems such as this provide essential security in a time where crime and fraud is becoming more advanced than ever. From employee fraud to sneak thieves and violent robberies – a CCTV security system provides protection and surveillance to aid in the capture and prosecution of those responsible.

With affordable HD CCTV systems allowing for a rapidly growing switchover to digital, analog CCTV could soon become a thing of the past.

Seagate Introduces Increase Capacity Hard Disk for Security Solutions

Every CCTV camera systems captures and records videos where such videos or images do not just vanishes into thin air but rather they are preserved and stored for purposes of review later on especially in reviewing previously captured images or videos that could lead to the solving of a crime. Indeed, the storage media is an essential part of the whole CCTV camera system for without it there will be no use for the passive security system or device. It is a known fact that an image or a video recorded have large file sizes because of the fact that several data are encoded or embedded in the video or image. This is the reason why the need for a storage media with a large capacity is needed especially for CCTV camera systems that functions for twenty-four hours.

To solve such problems in storage capacity several companies have developed storage media that have a large file storage capacity. One of such companies is Seagate, one of the leading companies in developing and manufacturing Hard Disk Drives, which currently released the Savvio 10K.4 Hard Disk Drive. The Savvio 10k.4 hard disk drive is considered to be the world’s highest capacity small form factor (SFF) drive which is capable of storage of up to six hundred gigabytes (600GB). The Hard Disk Drive runs on a 10K-RPM and enables 3.5 inch to 2.5 inch form factor transition.

Other features that comes with the Savvio 10K.4 Hard Disk drive is that it is the first 2M-hour MTBF that will give the Hard Disk Drive a higher reliability index as compared with other hard disk drives available. It also contributes to the reduction of energy consumption because of its SFF nature and its end-user cooling features. Finally, because of it’s design it enables OEM’s and system designers to develop external storage solution that will conform to any green IT strategies.
