As the electronic security industry increasingly embraces IP technology for video surveillance cameras, the security integrator can be presented with a variety of ways to record the video streams from IP cameras for client review.
Industry studies have shown that less than 10 percent of recorded surveillance video is ever viewed by end users. It should be obvious that in most cases clients are not watching the live video feed; they depend on recorded video to see what happened yesterday or last night. So it is imperative that IP surveillance cameras’ video outputs are recorded in one way or another 24/7, as our industry provides forensic video information for end users. Whether it’s a single camera or hundreds of cameras, all video devices need to have their outputs recorded.
