Video Security Software Systems

Video security software systems enable you to build a video security surveillance system. These systems work with different types of cameras, such as IP, wireless and analog. You can also record video from multiple cameras simultaneously.

Features

• The software compresses video log files so it can store more video recordings on your hard drive or digital video recorder (DVR). It even lets you use your smartphone to access your recordings from anywhere. Another feature that comes with the video security software system is a motion detector. When it detects motion, the system automatically records it. It can then email you with the recording.

Benefits

• The software is scalable and saves you money. You can start out small when you're building your video security surveillance system. As your needs grow, the system accommodates your demands. You can add more cameras to the system.
