Digital Video Security Overview
Video surveillance is becoming more widespread everyday as a means of keeping track of employees, locations, entryways, and more. Originally designed to monitor safety concerns, video security is continually evolving making it the ideal solution for many types of businesses. Businesses use a video security system to monitor employees, to trigger alerts in case of fire or motion, and to watch over entrances to buildings. Video security is also used in retail stores to reduce shoplifting and in financial institutions and convenience stores as a deterrent to robbery. Parking lots and garages, remote areas at any business are popular areas to locate surveillance camera.
"Why Digital Video Security?"
There are four basic reasons why people want to use a digital video security system:

All these things and many more are possible through video camera security systems.

"What do I need?"
The basic components of video security systems are a cctv camera, a display monitor, and a recorder. In a large system, of course, there can be a number of surveillance cameras with multiplexers, time lapse VCRs and monitors. Today, however, much of this analog multiplexing and tape recording equipment has been replaced by digital video recorders (DVRs).
A complete state-of-the-art digital video security system will include quality CCD cameras connected to a digital video recorder system. This setup allows for password-protected viewing of live and recorded video at the DVR and/or from a PC or PDA connected to the Internet or to a LAN.
