| Security monitoring/ deterrence |
Modularity for hardware upgrades
Connection to third-party systems via interfaces
Data protection compliance and security standards
Security monitoring/ deterrence
Modularity regarding hardware upgrades
Concepts for security video surveillance often consist of a basic package that can be expanded by various modules and, thanks to modern IP technology, also by hardware upgrades. The same applies to specialised logistics video solutions.
Data privacy compliance
Data protection is a top priority in all serious offerings and the design takes general security standards (TAPA, AEO, s.a.f.e) into account, regardless of whether it is a security video surveillance or specialised logistics video solution. The realisation of a data protection compliant use is achieved, among other things, by pixelation or blackening of image areas.
Deterrence
Cameras installed on a company’s premises have a deterring effect. They can also be helpful in detecting theft, loss and damages.
However, in logistical practice, significant differences in the methods and, above all, in the amount of time to be invested are clearly showing. Viewing longer video sequences in a security video surveillance solution can become very time-consuming, while a typical advantage of logistics video solutions is indeed the optainment of very fast search results.
Differences
between security video surveillance and logistics video solutions
| Security video surveillance | Logistics video solutions | |
|---|---|---|
| Industry/s | unspecific | logistics |
| Intended use | monitoring of persons, places, objects and technical processes | seamless tracing, tracking, process optimisation |
| Search process | visual search of video sequences by some filter functions and fast forwarding. Search process often triggered by an event/alarm | software-controlled, targeted search process, e.g. via shipment number, narrowing down through extensive filter functions and visual tracking with navigation aids |
| Data collection | collects video data only | collects many different types of data (e.g., video, scan, location, numeric) |
| Modularity for software upgrades | existing, but not logistics specific | comprehensive, many modules for a wide variety of functional upgrades for logistics processes (e.g., gate status analysis, scanner location, volume calculation, etc.) |
| Camera type | static & movable, panning | static |
| Camera layout | knowledge of camera positions required to be able to enter the right sequence for the search and keep an eye on moving objects or people across multiple cameras. | knowledge of camera layout not required, since search entry is software-controlled, e.g. via a consignment number |
