- Digital Surveillance & Automation -
Recent advancements in digital imaging technology have made it effective for small businesses to install reliable, inexpensive digital surveillance systems. These systems are increasingly becoming another service on the network, allowing remote monitoring from individual work stations within the business, or even from remote locations accessed through private Wide Area Network connections or even over the Internet.
Automation and control systems are also increasingly being deployed across the common network layer, integrating alarm monitoring, environmental controls and more. This trend is growing both in the residential market and from there into the small business realm. Automation, control and surveillance is becoming a part of the effectively managed small business.
As an example of the types of interoperability that is possible with these systems, imagine a new scenario for your business while you are closed. Within an hour of closing for the day, the termperature on the thermostats has been reduced to save energy costs, and will be returned to the normal daily setting prior to opening in the morning. High resolution, color digital cameras are standing by at strategic locations around your building and property, recording when there is motion, and standing by when there isn't, so that recording space is maximized. Remote sensors can be installed in sensitive areas, a refrigeration unit for example, ready to notify you if the temperature inside the unit rises above your preset level. Any notification from the system, of an alarm indication or a monitor trip can be reviewed from your remote PC at home, so that you can decide what action to take from an informed position.
These types of capabilities are available to day, to add advanced, cost effective monitoring and control of your business or even your residence.
