Detection running on the camera reduces reliance on operators watching screens and reduces unnecessary recording.
IP-native infrastructure
PoE-powered devices simplify installation and make later expansion a cabling exercise rather than a redesign.
Coordinated ELV scopes
Buyers increasingly want surveillance, access, intercom and alarm supplied together so that responsibility for compatibility sits in one place.
