“For hospitals, educational and any other large campuses, one of the biggest security challenges is the sheer amount of space that officials must monitor at all times in an effort to comprehensively protect those on the premises. For example, many educational campuses are comprised of numerous outdoor common areas, while hospitals are often tasked with oversight of large parking structures and waiting rooms.

Total situational awareness from a single camera reduces the screens to view and significantly improves the speed of locating an incident, which is a growing challenge when budgets for surveillance staff are being squeezed. As more complete coverage is needed, the cost of storage is also a significant concern, so leveraging advanced compression technologies will be key.”
