Not only do video surveil­lance systems promote safety, but they also provide valuable insight into the inner workings of your business.

Quality Imagery

When choosing security cameras for your business, it goes without saying that you want high-quality imagery. A clear, detailed video will give you a better overview of what’s happening in your business, from the people who enter to the activ­ities that occur. Not to mention, high-quality imagery can help capture small details, such as faces and license plates.

Recording Capabilities

Most people don’t have the time to sit down and watch their security feeds all day. That’s why your security cameras must come equipped with high-quality recording capabil­ities. At Bates Security, we offer advanced recorders that digitally store your video on-site. Not only can you view the security feeds whenever you’d like, but you can also find footage from a specific day and time. A high-quality recording is key, whether you’re trying to catch a thief, verify a claim, or simply monitor an employee’s performance.

Mobile Connections

No doubt, video recording is an essential part of surveil­lance systems, but how exactly do you watch them? In the past, people had to watch their surveil­lance recordings on monitors at their businesses. In today’s digital age, however, there any many more conve­nient ways to review your footage. Instead, most people prefer a mobile connection.

At Bates Security, we offer easy-to-use phone and web appli­ca­tions that seamlessly integrate with your surveil­lance system. In addition to viewing past recordings, the appli­ca­tions let you access real-time footage anywhere you have internet access. You can check up on your business whenever you want, from wherever you are.

Verification Abilities

While monitoring your security system feed is a great way to protect your business, it isn’t always 100% accurate. When watching things through a screen, it’s easy to exaggerate minor events or overlook actual security threats. To help ensure any actual problems are resolved, using a verified video system is a good idea.

Put simply, verified systems use video analytics to authen­ticate what’s happening in the real world. This helps reduce the risk of false alarms while also improving real-time decision-making. With a reliable verifi­cation system, you can easily determine when contacting the author­ities is (and isn’t) necessary.
