AlwaysON IP Managed Communications Services: Security IP CCTV

The AlwaysON Secure IP network is drawing a close to the old days of isolated CCTV installations recording to a local recorder.  Now entire CCTV estates can now be monitored securely, UK-wide.  Any camera can be selected and viewed remotely, video clips can be set to transmit a series of frames on an alarm trigger, and visual verification assures an appropriate response.

Three major UK retailers are currently rolling out AlwaysON Secure solutions for CCTV applications.  The ease and speed that new CCTV cameras and sites can be added and the simplicit of administration was a major factor in their decision to choose AlwaysON.

The business drivers for this move from dial-up to a secure IP network is not simply to tighten security, gain BS4818 accreditation and improved insurance cover.  In addition to the cost savings of an IP solution, management applications include remote validation of site compliance, the streaming of data for revenue generation applications such as in-store displays, as well as cost savings from the consolidation of multiple alarm panels.
