Expansive visibility
When designing the security posture of a space, it’s critical to think about the big picture. Beginning with the placement of 360-degree cameras is similar: taking the expansive view of an area to gain more situational awareness about any given situation. For example, in a shopping mall, 360-degree cameras can capture a large area to take in all aspects of a scene. When an incident occurs, 360-degree technology allows operators to zoom in on a single area of the image either live or retrospectively to identify more details about the scene.
Advanced intelligence
When combined with technology such as analytics or artificial intelligence (AI), 360-degree cameras give users unprecedented insights about their facilities. The user can automatically detect suspicious events based on predefined criteria and behavior analysis, as well as support decision-making with comprehensive, actionable information. Because the analytics are on the camera, this negates having to install additional hardware and software for running analytics.
Controlling Cost
Thanks to a wider field-of-view from 360-degree devices, fewer cameras and infrastructure are required to monitor a given area. Fewer cameras can not only help reduce upfront costs, but also keep maintenance expenses at a minimum over the life of the system.
