How To Network And Manage 1,800 IP Cameras

By The Business Solutions Network

A VAR lands an $800,000 video surveillance install by leaning on its networking and storage expertise.

If you’re a VAR who hasn’t looked into offering video surveillance, or you have but it’s been awhile, you could be missing a big opportunity. IP video surveillance continues to evolve at a rapid pace, making the technological nuances easier for VARs to grasp while the price becomes more appealing to customers. In the past, the sale of cameras was a pure surveillance play. Today, cameras can be integrated with all sorts of systems yielding a ton of new operational benefits. However, these higher uses of video cameras require integration skills, and networking and storage expertise. The security integrators who’ve typically won surveillance jobs often lack these skills, whereas integrators like you are well positioned to handle such complex projects. A great example of such complexity can be seen in a recent install performed by Secure Data Technologies.
