Video surveillance or video verification: which one to choose?

 Choosing and purchasing an effective security system to protect your home or business is essential to ensure the necessary peace of mind when you are away from these places.

 Nowadays the market offers us a series of effective and innovative security systems that must be carefully evaluated based on the spaces to be controlled and personal needs, bearing in mind that the perfect alarm system does not exist, but with the help of experienced professionals in the sector, you can choose the most suitable and performing one.

 Great is the use of video surveillance cameras whose sale is growing significantly especially for commercial activities, but also of video verification which is also used for home security cameras system installation.

 Let's see together what are the main characteristics and differences between the two video surveillance systems.

 Systems with video surveillance cameras

 The video surveillance systems are able to control constantly and in real time, through cameras placed in some strategic points, homes or businesses and offices.

 The cameras record images in high definition and are generally equipped with infrared technologies for adequate viewing even at night. Some models also allow the installation of microphones to be able to hear the sound of the shooting.

 The recording of the shots is then imported into a digital database, in order to keep the images for a set period of time.

 The cameras can be managed remotely through easy and intuitive applications and the footage can be viewed remotely, on a smartphone, PC or tablet.

 The video surveillance, however, does not necessarily imply a link with the Police or security companies. For this option it is necessary to connect the cameras to an alarm system or to a security service that communicates directly with the security and alerts the rescue.

 Video Verification Systems

 Video verification, on the other hand, is an innovative and effective alarm system that is spreading in the residential and business security market.

 Specifically, video verification is a wireless system equipped with cameras and electronic sensors that are activated when they detect unauthorized movement within the activation limits and send signals to a preconfigured operations center and to the owner's PC or smartphone.

 

Those who receive the images assess whether the alarm is real or if it has been triggered by mistake and alert the Police if necessary.

 The video verification therefore assumes that the video images are controlled by an H24 Operations Center which in this way will be able to prevent theft and make the intervention of the Police more efficient.

 To protect privacy, security cameras must send images to the security company only when the alarm triggered by motion sensors is triggered.

 Furthermore, always to ensure maximum confidentiality, images and videos must be accessible only via password from your Smartphone, Tablet or PC or via access to the Cloud.

 Video surveillance bonus

 The use of security systems is also encouraged by the state to deal with the phenomenon of thefts and shoplifters which is always growing. Specifically, the government for 2020 has provided for the video surveillance bonus which is a tax incentive, in the form of a tax credit, for those who install video surveillance and home alarm systems in Chicago in their homes, with a tax deduction of up to 50% of the expenditure incurred.
