What is live video monitoring?
Live video monitoring uses security cameras and monitoring personnel or systems to maintain awareness of activity at a protected facility. IP Systems supports this capability through digital video surveillance integration and Network Operations Center services, including real-time risk detection, device-health monitoring, smart dashboards, cybersecurity controls, and notifications when issues are identified.
How does Network Operations Center monitoring support video security?
A Network Operations Center provides centralized oversight of connected security devices and systems. IP Systems uses remote probes, health checks, dashboards, cybersecurity controls, and encrypted data transmission to help identify anomalies, monitor system performance, and support remote troubleshooting. This approach helps organizations maintain visibility into security technology without managing every monitoring function internally.
Can live video monitoring be managed through the cloud?
Yes. IP Systems offers Hosted and Managed Cloud Security Services, also known as Physical-Security-as-a-Service. These services move security systems to the cloud and include system availability, NOC support, device-health monitoring, redundant storage for video, voice, and data, software updates, remote troubleshooting, and scalable capabilities designed to grow with the organization.
What types of facilities can use live video monitoring?
Live video monitoring can support many commercial and public-sector environments, including industrial and distribution facilities, commercial properties, healthcare networks, schools and colleges, banks, municipal and utility sites, data centers, manufacturing facilities, and government agencies. IP Systems develops customized solutions based on the facility’s risks, systems, operational requirements, and security objectives.
Can IP Systems integrate monitoring with existing cameras?
Integration depends on the existing equipment, system architecture, and facility requirements. IP Systems begins with a system assessment or risk and needs review to understand current capabilities, identify gaps, and determine an appropriate path. Services may include video surveillance integration, system upgrades, cloud-based monitoring, managed support, or a broader security technology design.
Does monitoring include device-health checks and maintenance?
Yes. Network Operations Center Monitoring includes constant device-health monitoring, health checks, predictive maintenance, smart dashboards, and notifications when issues are identified. Support Programs can also include preventative maintenance visits, database metrics compilation, performance analysis, documented technical history, and priority response for remote and onsite support.
How is video and monitoring data secured?
IP Systems describes secure data transmission using TLS protocol to AWS servers within its hosted and managed security services. The service also includes cybersecurity controls and redundant data center storage for video, voice, and data. Specific security architecture is evaluated according to the client’s systems, facility risks, and service configuration.
How can an organization begin a live video monitoring project?
Projects generally begin by discussing facility needs, operational risks, current security technology, and monitoring objectives. IP Systems can assess existing systems, identify gaps, and recommend a customized combination of video surveillance, NOC monitoring, hosted services, support programs, or installation. The resulting scope and pricing are based on the devices and services required.
