With their innovative features camera systems can help to solve problematic situations. The majority of camera systems are reactive: images are viewed and analysed only after something happened.

Obviously it is very important to know what is happening to goods in a warehouse or a logistics centre: things can be kept under control by using camera systems. The good news is that video footage viewing time can be minimised now by using the AVIGILON control centre software, which individually indexes images in its ORACLE-based database. Related information (delivery note number, etc.) is stored with the images so it is enough to type in the number and the matching video footage appears.(x)
