Alarm Monitoring Services And The Digital Transformation – Over the last few years, the digital revolution has dramatically impacted traditional alarm monitoring services through the ability to provide services such as interactive video monitoring, the deployment of video analytics, virtual guarding, and much more. Old closed, proprietary, and analog security systems have given way to IP-based technology, enabling security cameras and other security devices to become more intelligent.
As a result of innovation in the security monitoring industry, a complete paradigm shift has occurred, ushering in the era of digital transformation.
Let’s deep dive into the topic and its impact on the security monitoring industry.
Traditional vs. Digital Monitoring Services
Traditional security monitoring solutions required a lot of wires and cables, which was costly and time-consuming. Additionally, old analog security monitoring solutions are prone to signal loss, slow connection speeds, and video streaming latencies.
The transformation from analog to digital technologies allows central station monitoring companies to adopt interactive video monitoring using Video Analytics and Artificial intelligence. The digital transformation era provides a much higher level of command and control by converting surveillance video into intelligent data to improve decision-making.
Transformation of Digital Alarm Monitoring Services
The alarm monitoring services industry is undergoing a significant transformation due to digitalization. This transformation has led to an entirely new ecosystem that includes interactive video monitoring, virtual guarding services, and home automation.
The rapid advancement of technology in the interactive video monitoring sector has aided in the growing acknowledgment of video solutions’ broader business usefulness.
Today’s cloud-powered video monitoring technologies provide enhanced situational awareness in various use scenarios by generating real-time metrics and data to mitigate human error and response.
