PARTNER SOLUTION NOTE
The Convergence of Security and IT:
Video Surveillance at Scale
Traditional video surveillance technology has included DVR or NVR-based appliances as well as
analog cameras in an outdated architecture approach. With the growth of large-scale systems
comprised of hundreds or thousands of cameras and increasing use of high-definition video,
these traditional approaches have significant challenges.
Customers using these architectures often experience pain-points related to limited scaling,
capacity constraints and overall system performance issues. Managing these systems, especially
in large-scale environments, is extremely complex. With recent advances in computing power
and IP/telecommunications technology, it is becoming easier to deploy video surveillance at
scale that is flexible, scalable, open, and future-proof.
Flexible – It needs to be easy to deploy, manage, and
operate with additions and changes to the environment.
Scalability – The video surveillance system needs to
scale as cameras, users, and longer retention are added.
.
Open - It needs to be IP-based, non-proprietary or a
closed architecture.
Future Proof - Unlike a traditional video surveillance approach that requires proprietary upgrades, an
IP-based open architecture combats against costly
and timely migrations – allowing the staff to focus on
security rather than the technology enabling it.
