More Organizations Looking At LTO Video Storage Platforms

Posted by Jay Bartlett July 6, 2017 9:54 am Categories: Storage. Tags: cost-effective, long-term retention, LTO, SecuVault, SecuVision, storage.

When it comes to recording and storing large camera counts, high-resolution frame-rate, or extended retention times, video storage systems can become hyper-expensive quickly. SecuVault has been designed and developed to store digital data and especially large volumes of recorded video in an efficient, simple, reliable, and cost-conscious manner. Looking at this from another perspective, SecuVault is an ideal near-line and long-term retention archive solution for video surveillance.

SecuVault – LTO ARCHIVE STORAGE SOLUTION

SecuVault has been designed and developed to store digital data and especially large data volumes in an efficient, simple, and reliable way and to archive them for long periods of time. Low procurement costs and in particular low operating costs were taken into account developing the conceptual design. Above all, the concept focuses on cost efficiency throughout the entire period of use which plays ? besides high dependability ? a significant role for data storage and long-term video retention. The simple and standardized integration into video surveillance, IT, and data applications was another key aspect. SecuVault thus especially scores providing dependable storage and long-term retention of data involving access on demand instead of being available on a permanent basis.

Brivo Releases New Assessment Tool To Help Businesses Measure Their Security Risk

Posted by Jay Bartlett June 28, 2017 7:20 pm Categories: Access Control, Cloud, Technologies. Tags: Access Control, Assessment Tool, Bravo, Cloud, Security Risk.

Brivo, the global leader in cloud-based access control systems, announced the release of their new physical security assessment tool created to help businesses calculate the security risk of their facilities. A recent market survey conducted by Brivo discovered a massive gap between perceived safety and actual facility vulnerabilities. The survey found that 61% of facility managers were not concerned about their location’s physical security. Yet 40% were still using lock and key, and 62% used standard keycards and fobs. We feel that this is not a safe approach, especially in a world where technology is prominent and keycards can be easily lost, shared, or duplicated.
