The current year has already shown a significant demand for video surveillance equipment. Of particular interest to consumers are panoramic, thermal and stereo cameras, as well as cloud services with intelligent video analytics capabilities. At the same time, there is intense competition in the video surveillance market, which does not allow manufacturers to easily increase revenue and profits. This means that only the best of the best remain on the market. It is about them that we will talk today.
As part of the digital market, video surveillance is still shrouded in confusion and controversy. In particular, the most controversial issues arise when choosing between analog and cloud systems.
Not everyone knows that the first mention of the process of video surveillance for security purposes dates back to 1913 and making photographs of inmates from a distance at London’s Holloway Prison for Women and Juvenile Delinquents.
And the next historical mention of surveillance cameras dates back to 1942, and it was already about the creation of a video monitoring system for the German company Siemens. It was used to track missile launch faults at the site.
It was only in the second half of the 50s (Hamburg, Germany) of the last century that a street surveillance system first appeared. And the 70-80s in the United States saw a mass sale of analog systems with recording on videotapes starting.
The analog video control model requires software and hardware equipment: video cameras, recorders, monitors and other auxiliary technical devices.
Consequently, progress is replacing cumbersome, multi-component, expensive systems that require regular intervention of specialists. A modern cloud video surveillance system can operate on the basis of a mobile application downloaded to stationary or mobile devices (PC, smartphone or tablet). The cloud space acts as the main server. Access to the cloud is opened by the provider to the user, according to the tariff plan.
Also, a properly selected service for a video surveillance system can allow the simultaneous use of analog and digital equipment. In this case, you may need a special tech that will digitize the images and compress them. Thus, we can say that digital video monitoring is a universal, simple and affordable solution for providing home and business security.
Now we can talk about services that make it possible to create an optimal system of modern video monitoring. In addition to the consumer criterion called “value for money”, we will rely on the following parameters:
Based on the analysis of the Russian video surveillance market and the above criteria, we have compiled a rating of the seven best services:
