Video surveillance technology is evolving faster than ever before, and it’s difficult to know what to buy and when – it seems there’s always something new around the corner! However, there are a few key trends in video surveillance technology you can rely on to guide your purchase decisions and prepare your surveillance systems for the upcoming year and beyond.
The adage “A picture is worth a thousand words” is very true in the world of video surveillance. We have seen that, when an incident occurs, a video clip can tell a story that adds thousands of dollars to the bottom line when combined with systems data.

If you’ve been looking at video surveillance options recently, you’ve probably seen references to the "Edge." New technology can also often mean new questions: What is the Edge? Can I fall off?

Really? A blog about light—why? Well, we’re glad you asked. Light is essential for many reasons, especially as it relates to surveillance cameras. No matter your lighting situation, there is definitely a camera solution for your business. Read on to learn more about light and how it impacts picture quality. Consider yourself enlightened!
Cameras are the devices that actually capture the image and transmit it to the DVR/NVR. Light from a source like a light bulb or the Sun passes through a lens onto a sensor and then is transmitted back to the DVR or NVR.

Spring has sprung and we all know what that means: it’s time for Spring cleaning! While you’re busy tidying up, don’t forget about your surveillance system. Maintaining clean cameras and a well -ventilated DVR will not only protect your investment, but also ensure that your equipment will continue to function at 100% for years to come.
Proactively maintaining the health of your surveillance system is the best way to ensure that when needed the most, your DVR and cameras are fully functional. Extreme weather, vandalism (leprechauns?), accidental damage or even the tough daily environment of a busy restaurant can lead to equipment failure.
Effective security cameras are the eyes, and occasionally the ears, of your business. While it is common to want to monitor your business while you’re away, deciding which cameras and where to install them can be challenging. Though iTech Digital is more than happy to assist you with every step of this process, wouldn’t it be nice to have some knowledge under your belt?
