Video Monitoring or Video Verification?

With the Decree-Law No. 703, administrative penalties of 250 liras will be imposed by the governorships on those who occupy the 112 Emergency Call Center with groundless notices. Do you know why? 90% of calls are not emergency calls, and one-third of them are completely irrelevant. In other words, thousands of people are occupying such an important center unnecessarily!

Similarly, a considerable number of incoming calls to Alarm Intelligence Centers or the facilities' Command and Control Centers consist of false alarms. To make a sweeping statement, 35% of false alarms are caused by faulty, inadequate or neglected products. 15 percent are caused by improper installation, 30% by untrained personnel and the rest by natural conditions and human error. The rate of false alarms increases rapidly unless they are regularly maintained in CCTV Systems, Alarm Systems, Fire Alarm Systems, Access Control Systems and similar Low Current Systems.

How Are False Alarms Prevented Most Easily in the Fire Alarm Systems? »

There are a number of security companies in the sector. When you request a CCTV System, do not be satisfied with their making video security by giving you a camera and recording device. Ask them for Video Verification.

We can capture alarms at high accuracy rates with various sensors, especially in such areas that are exposed to very high temperatures, in noisy working environments, in galleries where people cannot enter, in cable trays, etc. However, we absolutely have to check the accuracy of the alarm in the event of incidents. It is both very dangerous and requires a lot of time to enter and verify these areas, which is a violation of the safety of life and property. If you want to immediately evaluate the incoming alarm or if you are about to activate a high-budget extinguishing system, you can prevent incorrect costs by automatic Video Verification in the buffer time given by the system and prevent your process from stopping for hours.

In a project, a person who says he/she sleeps safely at home because he/she has a Camera System learned with bitter experience that when he/she goes to his/her warehouse in the morning and learns that all his/her goods have been stolen, he/she should have bought a Video Verification System instead of a Video Surveillance System.

Simple CCTV Systems allow you to prove how a theft occurred, while CCTV Systems with Video Authentication let you know that there is currently a theft. A robust video verification will be the perfect choice for your enterprise.
