A client once asked us after training him how to operate his newly installed 8 channel CCTV system:
“What more can I do with my CCTV System?”
Luckily enough for him the Digital Video Recorder we supplied him was a K-series Hikvision DVR capable of lot more. I simply told him “You can do lot more Sir!”
Many of installed CCTV out there were just seated there in the cabinet or control room, dumped and users only waiting for a critical event to happen before CCTV back-up can be reviewed, sometime after a week or more. Even when someone is stationed in the CCTV room to constantly monitor it, there is 90% probability that the operator will miss a critical event which should have been preventable.
