Months of Retention on Days of Storage

California recently passed a law allowing slip and fall claims to be filed up to 2 years after the event, dramatically extending the time organizations must retain video evidence.

Increased Retention Enhances Protection and Compliance but Drives Up Storage Requirements

The Contention with Retention: It is generally agreed that when it comes to video surveillance data, the longer you keep the video, the less risk you have. While generally considered to be a prudent business decision, in many cases a mandate by the government or industry oversight body is driving increased video retention requirements. Video storage costs can be dramatically impacted by these increases in retention. Coupled with the increase in storage from the move to higher resolution and recording motion and non-motion, the resulting costs can cripple a security budget. TimeSight Systems enable organizations to reduce the size of stored video over time.  Businesses can now afford to retain video surveillance data for much longer periods of time on far less storage, even when using high-resolution analog or IP cameras. Retention requirements can now be met, government and oversight regulations can be adhered to, all under your storage budget.   TimeSight Video Lifecycle Management (VLM) solutions enable longer retention on less storage.  See More...For Longer...For Less
