Top Ways Businesses Can Benefit from Video Management System

Video analytics has become more mature in recent years. As a result, it is also primed for Video Management System (VMS) integration, providing the ability to widen the performance and intelligence provided by other systems significantly.

FREMONT, CA: Security has become more video-centric in the past few years. As end-users implement more cameras and increase their coverage, it becomes possible to verify many types of events from several security subsystems like access control, point-of-sale (POS), intrusion, and more through the VMS. While camera manufacturers continue to offer higher resolutions, that’s no longer the main objective of video surveillance. Instead, it is more about expanding the use case for surveillance by increasing end users’ return on investment. The video management system is one of the most helpful tools.

‘Seeing is believing,’ so being able to corroborate data from these other security technologies with video makes the overall system will become more powerful. One of the significant factors that make VMS well-suited sit at the core of these integrated systems is people’s affinity for video in general. When it comes to combining disparate technologies into VMS, training may be the most vital element for integrators. Some integration is so complicated that extensive knowledge is required to make everything work properly. The most common call is an integrator who needs help making a solution work properly.

Due to a lack of integration platforms, integrators do not have the resources to learn every system and usually do not employ innovative API developers to create integrations. So they become knowledgeable on one specific project that may not translate to the next. The available opportunities grow too quickly to be experts on all options from a technology standpoint. One of the biggest hurdles integrators face is keeping up with technology transformations. Having a robust relationship with technology vendors can go a long way in easing this and open the door to creative integrations.
