Understanding the IT needs of video surveillance

A video surveillance system has specialised needs when it comes to information technology (IT). While a digital video system may use the same technologies as other IT systems, they are configured differently and with the specific needs of video surveillance in mind.

Video is a more demanding environment and puts a heavier workload on every part of an IT system. Choosing the right equipment for the job ensures greater dependability over time.

This white paper commissioned by Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, looks at how the specialised needs of a video surveillance system impact which IT technologies are deployed and how they are used. Download now to read more!
