The Value of a Video Network in Managing Operations
The purpose of this blog is to dispel the notion that surveillance cameras are only good for security. The overriding purpose businesses install cameras is for “security”, whatever that means. A common complaint is, “how does it help me to have a video of masked thieves carting off my assets”. And how good of an investment is security cameras, if they are only needed less than 1% of the time. You think you’re going to catch them, do ya. Not likely. You can, but that is a discussion for a later time.
If you can justify the return on your investment when a surveillance system is only used 1% of the time, then the benefits from the other 99% helping you manage operations is all gravy.
