Open Platforms for Digital Security and Surveillance Solutions
A trend that we have seemed to overlook in the last few months is the transition to an open platform system. To broadly define the latest innovations in the digital security and surveillance market, the transition from analog to IP is well under way along with niche development of edge recording and mobile network video recorders (NVR).
Prior to open platform systems, companies have used proprietary solutions, meaning the system utilizes a single manufacturer for all components, leaving little choice and little price competition. Moving to an open platform system allows companies to transition to a comprehensive security and surveillance solution with added versatility, such as IP technology.
The Benefits of Open Platform System
Open platform systems allow companies to meet more specialized needs for their deployments, tailoring their direct requirements such as adopting new storage solutions, video analytics software, client viewing stations, and other industry developments. Here are the main benefits of an open platform system:
-
Use best of breed standards-based components
-
Take advantage of the industry's latest technology
-
Choice of a wide range of manufacturers
-
Large ecosystem of components backed with ongoing support for external hardware
-
Designed to optimize bandwidth usage
-
Scalabe to handle a large number of cameras
