The truth is most criminals seem to thrive in darkness. And most remote or rural areas with sprawling locations have tons of pitch black nooks and crannies for them to hide in. But that doesn’t mean these locations have to go unprotected.

Security camera data usage is becoming more of an issue as the internet becomes increasingly crowded.

Instead of wondering what video images await you when you make it into the office, you can watch your CCTV camera online from your cell phone. Here’s how to monitor your business CCTV cameras from anywhere using the internet, an app, and your cell phone.

Prior to the widespread adoption of broadband Internet, analog CCTV was the only option. These cameras still exist today, but they work quite differently from IP cameras.

CCTV camera issues could hinder your ability to monitor your business. Here are some common problems with CCTV cameras and how to resolve them.

There are several television shows (and plenty of YouTube videos) that appear to capture ghosts on security camera footage. Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately, if you want to believe), this is the result of technical glitches that cause what looks like a CCTV ghost. But what causes it?

Security camera footage can take up a lot of bandwidth and storage. How long should businesses keep their CCTV footage?

Risk management in the supply chain is a full-time job. Think about all of the moving parts that make up your chain.

Hackers can exploit security system vulnerabilities, compromising the devices designed to keep us safe. It is essential to be vigilant and stay informed about potential security breaches.

How is it that we still have crime when there are video cameras on every street corner and in most businesses?

For those that need a more temporary solution (like an ever-changing construction site, or a property that doesn’t have easy access to WiFi or electricity) a Mobile surveillance system may be more beneficial.

Solo security systems create more work. They can have compatibility issues that slow you down. But integrated security systems bring everything together under one hub, offering a faster response to any threat. 

IP cameras offer many benefits over analog cameras for business security. IP cameras can transmit video and data remotely over long distances via the cloud.

Security cameras are more suitable for small businesses. Larger companies integrate security cameras into a surveillance infrastructure to better protect their property.

By far the most popular video security cameras today are IP-enabled and cloud connected. But even if your security cameras lack Wi-Fi, the cell network can keep you connected to your property.
