What Is Smart Surveillance for Small Businesses?

Smart surveillance uses internet-connected cameras and software to monitor, detect, and alert business owners of activity in and around their premises. Unlike analog CCTV, smart systems provide remote access, AI-powered alerts, and cloud storage for secure backup.

  • Automatic backups and scalable storage plans


5. AI and Analytics

  • Facial recognition, license plate reading, people counting
