How to Kickstart Physical Security with Digital Cameras

December 20, 2024

Physical security is just as important as cybersecurity, and digital security cameras are a great tool to help maintain spaces. Whether you have an office, a retail space, a warehouse, or any other property, a security camera can help you keep tabs on a place in real-time and reduce liability. Here are three reasons why you might consider ditching an analog camera in favor of a digital camera.

High-Quality Video and Images

A digital camera can capture crystal-clear, high-definition videos and pictures. This helps you recognize faces, read license plates, and identify other important information in your footage. You’ll find solving incidents much easier, and with such powerful cameras on premise, intruders will be less likely in general.

Remote Monitoring

You can easily monitor your digital cameras remotely, regardless of location. Whether you’re at work, on vacation, or anywhere else, you can check live feed video or past recordings from your Internet-connected device. You’ll never fear leaving your home, office, or other location with a remote pair of eyes watching over your home or business.

Simple Expansion and Adaptation

You can expand your network of digital cameras as the need arises, adding additional units or upgrading them to handle more complex systems. They function well in both home or office environments, small and large. You’ll also enjoy several extra features and styles so you can be confident in your preferred choice of security camera.

In reality, cybercriminals love to attack small businesses to take advantage of their weaker security infrastructures. If you’re not careful, this could lead to serious losses for your business stemming from a loss of trust, legal fees, and operational downtime.

5 IT Mistakes That Reset Your Progress (And Your Profits)
Did you know that industry data suggests that the average small business loses over $10,000 per year simply by making “common-sense” IT decisions that lack a long-term strategy? In fact, most IT decision-makers look at technology as little more than a utility, like water or electricity, rather than a competitive advantage. IT is not a cost to be minimized; it’s a way to get ahead (and stay ahead), and it’s time to fix the mistakes you’ve made in the past.
