In the U.S., companies spend a very significant $15 billion on video surveillance operations. Yet, according to a recent global survey by Forbes, most of them monitor fewer than 50% of their valuable assets.

Why the disparity? The main reason is that traditional video surveillance systems rely on older analog technology. The management consoles don’t integrate well with other security tools and systems. And human operation for surveillance leads to fatigue and missed security breaches.

Commercial software products are built to solve specific problems. Long ago, almost all of them were highly proprietary and would connect or work only with products from the same vendor.

Access control solutions tended to be this way; they would only work with other security software from the same vendor. Open Options Access Technology, based just up the road from Waco in Addison, Texas, set out to change that with a philosophy of developing an open access control system platform that integrates easily with other solutions such as video surveillance and many more.

Increasingly, businesses and organizations small and large are finding it cost-effective to implement video monitoring solutions.

Camera features such as night-vision were once the exclusive province of expensive solutions, yet that technology has become widely available now even in consumer DIY security cameras. Most of these cameras take in low light and amplify it significantly, which results in a fuzzy, "noisy" image. To get a better image, the cameras use a near-infrared light beam to reflect more light off the object for the camera to "see."

Thermal security cameras see in a very different way and are often found in high-security applications. Keep reading to learn how they can enhance security around your property and premises in the Texas Rio Grande Valley.
