Starting from the assumption that the thefts in Italy do not appear to decrease and that more than 80% of Italians have a Smartphone, we understand how the control and management of security through the Smartphone , is a very tempting opportunity for those who have at heart the safety of your family and home.
App to Manage Video Surveillance from Smart phones
The traditional security system, consisting of a control unit, sensors and alarm sound devices, evolves and is completed with an App that allows the building to be controlled remotely. Apps currently on the market are divided into two types:
Those that start directly from the anti-theft system, in which most of the work is done by the control unit.
Those composed of a spy camera, which must be installed on the mobile phone and which allows to monitor every movement inside the home.
To find out what happens inside the house, just set the application and allow it to take photographs and send them to the e-mail address or phone number initially set.
The applications of the first type are the most common and are those that, when the control unit detects some anomaly and activates the alarm by sending an impulse to the siren, allow receiving a signal on the Smartphone. It can be an alert SMS, a call to the pre-set numbers or an alert on the interface of the Application Software.
To increase security and make the on-site intervention timelier, you can set the alert directly to the police or to a private security center.
App management is possible both with an iOS system and an Android system and is aimed at real-time control of what happens in the home or in the company shed.
Thanks to a mobile phone connected to the Internet, it is possible to activate the alarm systems, deactivate it or exclude zones inside (or outside) the building. The most fascinating (and heartening) thing is undoubtedly the possibility of seeing in real time the images taken by the video surveillance system's cameras.
Cloud Video Surveillance
The video surveillance cameras in Chicago on the market are equipped with proprietary Apps that allow you to create a real remote control system.
The installation of IP Cam (video cameras that generate a digital video signal ready to be transmitted and controlled on the Internet data network) and their connection to remote control software on a PC or mobile device is the basis of a video surveillance system manageable via Smartphone.
The next step is to connect these cameras to a recording archive system. The video surveillance with storage on Cloud(cloud computing is the distribution of a series of services including storage, via the Internet) is the best solution because it allows you to save many hours of data-logging in a safe place and access it at anytime from anywhere in the world .
The cameras connect to the Video Management Software (video management software), located on a server that collects the storage of online records, using a broadband Internet connection. Depending on your preferences, it will do it via a network cable or via a Wi-Fi connection.
To the personal storage space on Cloud can be connected multiple devices (PC, tablet, Smartphone, etc.) that allow you to monitor the images of the different areas protected by the alarm system, both day and night (night vision with infrared rays guarantees very clear video recordings) .
Through the App installed, it is possible to remotely receive notifications and reports of anomalies generated by the video surveillance system and interact by modifying the intensity and the movement detection areas. If the camera detects a suspicious movement, it will notify the smart phones connected to the device. And in the event of a power failure the system would continue to work thanks to internal batteries.
Why Is It Better To Prefer The Memory On The Cloud?
When you are in the convenient position of being able to choose, it is advisable to opt for a video surveillance system with Cloud storage for the following reasons:
- The recordings are securely stored and can be accessed at any time
- Saving recordings is protected by user and password. These correspond to the account of the person who registered for the Cloud storage service. Furthermore, they do not risk ending up in the hands of people who have not been declared suitable by the owner and remain in a safe area where there is no danger of them being accidentally erased.
- You can be a real-time witness to what is happening at home
- The video surveillance that can be followed by Smartphone proposes, simultaneously, the images of what is happening in the building giving the opportunity to those who are viewing the images to ascertain the situation and, possibly, to act in a timely manner by contacting family members or forces order.
- The alarm is accessed via the Smartphone
- By installing the proprietary App directly on the Smartphone, you have direct access to a series of parameters, without necessarily having to access the Internet through the browser.
- The system can be connected to the operating center of a security service
- The Cloud system does not need the purchase and maintenance of expensive hardware and software systems that allow video recording.
