The Challenges of Security and Surveillance
As surveillance systems become more intelligent and connected, Security Systems Integrators face growing complexity at the edge. From managing data overload to ensuring reliability in extreme environments, successful deployment depends on addressing these core challenges:
- Latency and Real-Time Processing Needs
- Harsh and Unpredictable Environments
- IoT Connectivity Management
- Bandwidth and Storage Constraints
- Cybersecurity and Compliance
Key Considerations for Security System Integrators
1. Real Time Performance
Can your computing solution process data locally to reduce lag and optimize feedback loops? Look for edge systems with power efficient and high-performance processors to smoothly manage workloads.
2. Connectivity
Ensure the system supports legacy serial ports, digital I/O, and other interfaces to connect with a wide variety of IoT devices, cameras, and sensors.
3. Environmental Durability
Deployments in industrial environments demand ruggedized hardware. Fanless, industrial-grade systems that withstand harsh temperatures, dust, and debris ensure continuous operation in harsh conditions.
4. Secure, Reliable Operation
Protect sensitive manufacturing data with TPM 2.0 hardware-based encryption and ensure 24/7 uptime with rugged components and wide temperature support.
5. Compliance & Certifications
Regulatory adherence ensures reliability and safety in high-risk infrastructure. Confirm that devices meet industry certifications (UL, CE, FCC) and comply with data privacy, security, and environmental standards required.
