Both options have their advantages and disadvantages and the choice between centralized and decentralized video security systems depends on the specific needs and priorities of each commercial setting. Centralized Monitoring: A centralized video security system involves collecting and processing video data from multiple locations in a single control center. Centralized systems offer easier management, cost-effectiveness, and consistent standards but may be susceptible to single points of failure and potential privacy concerns. Decentralized Monitoring: A decentralized video security system distributes the infrastructure across multiple locations, with each location having its own setup. Decentralized systems provide redundancy, localized monitoring and enhanced privacy but can be costly to implement and maintain. Remote viewing and mobile apps Video security management systems allow security professionals to easily see what they need to see when they want to see it through cloud-based software and mobile applications. User authentication and access levels User access levels range from the Administrator group to the Restricted group. Directors of security can establish access controls in areas like entrances and exits to address unauthorized entry and other physical security breaches.
