Security camera footage can take up a lot of bandwidth and storage. How long should businesses keep their CCTV footage?
Last week, we kicked off our new “Ask the Expert” blog series, which gives readers a chance to ask our team of video surveillance experts their most pressing questions. Today’s inquiring minds want to know: What causes ghosting on CCTV?

Unlike standard security cameras, LPR systems are optimized to handle glare, motion blur, and poor lighting — all common issues when trying to capture plates on moving vehicles, especially at night.
One of the most significant advantages of security video analytics is its ability to prevent and detect crime. Surveillance cameras equipped with AI can monitor large areas and respond in real time to security threats.

Is remote video monitoring worth it? Learn how it deters up to 97% of crime, reduces risk, and gives businesses peace of mind with real-time protection.
