Eliminate Risk With TimeSight's Video Storage Insurance Program, An Industry First

Today's economic conditions are creating tremendous pressure on surveillance users to not only meet the increasing security demands of a tough economy, but also to help reduce company spending. As a result, many users and resellers are making difficult trade-offs in terms of image quality, retention time and costs. TimeSight Systems has the answer to eliminating these risk/cost trade-offs with the industry's first video surveillance storage insurance program: The TimeSight Video Surveillance Storage Insurance Plan protects users from sacrificing quality, quantity, retention times or storage budgets.

TimeSight Storage Insurance protects users from three common issues with today's DVR and NVR systems.

#1- Sacrificing Image Quality:

Customers in this category have a fixed budget and a requirement to store images for a fixed number of days.

• Typical Unwanted Result (Grainy Video): Later it is discovered that the retention time is not met. The available budget dollars are already spent, so in order to meet the mandated retention period, the compression is turned up and the image and data quality from the cameras is reduced. Grainy video results in increased security risk in order to try to meet the budget. This results in unusable images, forcing the customer to accept the increased security risk.

#2- Sacrificing Retention Time:

Customers in this category have a fixed budget and a requirement to store images at an acceptable quality for both internal and external policies.

• Typical Unwanted Result (Premature Data Deletion/Overwrite): Increased security risk as customer meets quality and budget but had to shorten retention time as new data overwrites stored data well before targeted retention goal, forcing them to accept the increased risk of not having data when/if needed.

#3- Sacrificing Budget Dollars:

Customers in this category require strict quality and retention for both internal and external policies.

• Typical Unwanted Result (Increased Storage Requirements): It soon becomes apparent that the required quality of image will overrun the storage configured in order to meet the strict quality and retention times. The result: budget overruns as more storage is purchased to accommodate the real capacity required.
