Motion Detection: Storage Saver or Risk Inducer?

In today's world, video surveillance is a crucial tool for protecting people and property around the clock. As its deployment increases, so does its use and importance in both civil and criminal proceedings. Recorded video regularly assists in investigations, speeds settlements, and helps to resolve disputes between employees and/or customers and is now regarded as a vital business security tool. In addition, the increasing availability and lower cost of higher quality cameras makes improving the effectiveness of video surveillance more affordable than ever. However, with all these technology and cost benefits for increasing video quality and usability there is now a new issue holding users back; increased storage requirements. In todays high resolution environments, with 30 days or more of retention, its not uncommon for storage costs to exceed 50% or more of the entire surveillance system. This places an incredible financial burden on an organization during a time when budgets are tight.

Motion Optimized Recording (MORe):TimeSight's advanced motion detection that applies specific image/frame size, frame rate, and retention policies to all motion and non-motion events, enabling users to store all video on far less storage than riskier record on motion only (ROM) approaches.

An Intelligent Approach to Motion Detection

In attempting to deal with escalating storage costs, the industry has developed Record On Motion (ROM) solutions that only record video if there is motion within the scope of the frame. This means that if a camera with motion detection only determines 40% of the day there was " significant motion detected", an organization can reduce their storage requirements by as much as 60%.  While this may sound appealing at first glance, the result is 'gaps in visibility' where there is no video data or missing evidence to protect the business throughout various periods and types of risk.

TimeSight intelligent network video recorders with Motion Optimized Recoding (MORe) start from the premise that all video has value in mitigating risk, which includes both motion and non-motion events. Motion Optimized Recording enables organizations to store all motion and non-motion at the appropriate quality and retention at far less storage than recording on motion only.  The result: Elimination of video security gaps with up to 90% storage savings.

Complete Video Coverage with Impressive Storage Savings.

TimeSight Systems has developed a powerful  advanced motion detection application that closes the security gaps of record on motion only (ROM) while requiring less storage.  This application works with all existing and new supported cameras, delivering value to an entire organization.  All data can now be captured 24x7, enabling true "full coverage" and protection, while continuing to reduce storage requirements. TimeSight VLM solutions with MORe deliver advanced motion detection , without data deletion or budget decimation. TimeSight Systems..see MORE with MORe....For Less.
