The security integrator who takes the time to understand the realm of video network monitoring can grow revenues by providing end users with greater reliability of their video systems.
Among many factors, there are two main truths that drive the security industry. First, security is critical given that its main function is to protect people, facilities and assets. Second, any disruption in security operations puts these people, places and things at risk. This underscores how important it is for manufacturers and security systems integrators to make sure they are doing everything possible to ensure the reliability of security and surveillance systems.
Today’s networked devices and the ability to connect an ever-expanding number and variety of security and non-security systems have significantly eased the process of monitoring the performance and health of devices and systems. Monitoring networks for health and reliability has been a staple in the IT world for quite a few years, allowing IT staff to quickly identify and address problems that may affect network performance and/or uptime — often before a problem can even occur.
