If your business runs across multiple sites you’ll know that getting visibility on day-to-day operations is difficult. Sometimes the only real insight into how well the site is being managed may be stock reports, turnover or profit figures from management accounts. But is this giving you the whole picture? Unless you regularly perform unannounced site visits, getting real insight into where improvements can be made may not be possible, until now with remote monitoring.

The latest CCTV and video analytic systems are allowing businesses to closely monitor all their locations from a single, central location, or from a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. How is this possible?

Firstly, the latest CCTV cameras use high megapixel counts and capture images with incredible clarity. A wide range of specialist cameras can be deployed across your locations and configured to monitor different aspects of your sites, such as perimeters, site movements, vehicles and operations. The images captured are digital, so use IP technology which can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.

The video management system ( VMS) allow all locations and multiple camera feeds to be viewed simultaneously or drilled down to a single camera, at a single location quickly and easily.
