subject: The Best Way To Cease Break-in Beforehand [print this page] No one would expect theft to be stopped by a normalCCTV system. Instead people use CCTV to playback an event that has happened.
As a result, people use CCTV as an events recorder and video playback device, of course provided that the DVR is still working, or the DVR is not stolen or sabotaged by the intruders or insiders. Recorded events are history.
It means that the damage is done and there is no way you can fix the damage besides hoping that the insurance will take care of it.
However, emotional damage is the toughest to cure and no insurance in the world will cure that.
Fake CCTV cameras are used to scare off intruders or to make sure no funny business among the staff.
If that works for you, great! However, most of the time fake CCTV doesn't serve the purpose, neither does the conventional CCTV, especially when it comes to preventing break-in or abnormal events during odd hours.
Alarm system is thought to be the must-have defensive system in office or home security against break-in or burglary. But is it really effective?
When the alarm is triggered, what exactly does that mean?
There are only 2 possible answers. Either you are getting a false alarm due to whatever reasons or your premise's safety has been breached.
So if the outcome is the latter, you are being informed that your home or office has been broken into. But how are you going to verify that?
I am not saying that it's useless because when the alarm system is triggered, and the siren goes off, the burglar or intruder may just flee the scene for fear of getting caught. The only thing that is rather disturbing is that the burglar is already in the house or premises.
So what if you can know when someone is about to break into your house or office, and before they can even start breaking in, you can choose
to turn on the panic siren and fend off the intruder or to contact the neighbor or the security of the community or building and catch the burglar red-handed? Wouldn't that be better than just playing back what has happened on the DVR, which might not be there anymore?
This is what is known as the preventive surveillance. By the way, when the conventinonal CCTV DVR fails, you are as good as without a cctv system.
Preventive surveillance is what a smart CCTV system offers. IP cameras are normally used in a smart CCTV system. There is a tiny web server with a tiny CPU inside an IP camera. That's why IP cameras are smarter than analog cameras, and hence more expensive too. When IP cameras are integrated with NuTACT Cloud Surveillance Management Center (CSMC), a cloud-based central management system, it gives birth to the SmartCCTV system. Besides getting email alerts according to your schedule, all your motion-detect snapshots are also stored in the cloud storage system for at least 30 days. The user can login to their own CSMC portal and browse through the snapshots with daily and hourly filter. The CSMC also allows the user to play the snapshots like a slideshow with fast forward and reverse options.
The CSMC also has the mobile guide to help the user to download and install the correct IPhone or Android apps on the smart phones for the preventive surveillance, such as allowing the user to receive email alerts and to view live camera on mobile based on the user's access privilege. That's right, CSMC allows you to designate monitoring tasks to specific individual such as an area branch manager who can only access his/her own branch's cameras, and receive email alerts from these cameras. The country manager, on the other hand, can view all cameras from the nationwide branches. As you can see, NuTACT CSMC has security and privacy in place.
NuTACT IP Camera combined with NuTACT siren is a powerful combination against break-in. You can essentially turn on and off the siren anytime from anywhere with a click on your smart phone whether it is from the email Panic Siren button or the live view mobile apps.
So now the choice is yours, with the combination of cloud computing and advance technology in IP cameras, you can can take the necessary actions based on what you see it's about to happen when you receive an alert from your SmartCCTV system.
Whether you are getting the SmartCCT or traditional CCTV system, just make sure it serves the purpose.
