Video Security Systems Technology

Video security systems (VSS) provide surveillance capabilities used to protect people, assets, and systems. A VSS serves mainly as a security force multiplier, providing more frequent surveillance across a larger area than would be feasible with security personnel alone. VSS equipment is often used to support comprehensive security systems by incorporating video coverage and security alarms for barriers, intrusion detection, and access control. For example, a VSS can provide the means to assess an alarm generated by an intrusion detection system and record the event.
