You may feel like you’re constantly on-site at your Harlingen-area business and always working, but that’s not likely 100% true - you have to go home and sleep occasionally! But whether you’re on the job, relaxing at home, or across the globe on a business trip, you should have peace of mind knowing your Texas commercial property is secure and protected, even when the employees go home at the end of the day. 

A surveillance system that incorporates security cameras, an alarm system, access control, and other reliable features keeps you aware of everything happening at your business. Keep reading below to learn four advanced features your security cameras should include!

1. Self-Learning Video Analytics

Security cameras are not passive devices that only record footage. Advanced programming and analytical capabilities let business owners and remote monitoring teams respond to threats and incidents more effectively. These cameras recognize friend from foe while ignoring false alerts, such as passing cars, but targeting loitering people or idling vehicles. 

Companies like Avigilon offer teach-by-example video surveillance technology that lets security managers like you or your facilities team provide feedback on alerts. This feedback informs future alerts and results in a lower false-alarm rate and increased sensitivity to certain conditions that matter most.

2. Thermal Imaging

Though not every camera has this feature, it’s essential for outdoor security cameras located in parking lots, warehouse entries, and along the perimeter of your business. Thermal imaging technology is able to detect security threats not captured by most security cameras – potential threats such as moving people and cars in low-visibility or activities that happen in complete darkness. By sensing heat, these cameras overcome lighting limitations that other cameras simply cannot. Once detected, you’ll receive an alert on your smart device of choice and will be able to view live or previously recorded footage in mere seconds.

3. License Plate Recognition

Imagine having a searchable database of license plate numbers that have been on your property. Security cameras with license plate recognition can create watchlists and quickly find footage of vehicles in the case of an incident. Was there a report of a white van loitering around your property? Type in the license plate to determine if you have footage from the incident.

4. Unusual Activity Detection

Was a vehicle speeding on your property or a man running across the parking lot? These unusual activities are detected by advanced security cameras from Circle Industries. Live video monitoring paired with advanced artificial intelligence allows you or your remote monitoring team to effectively determine the correct response, such as calling the local law enforcement agency or sending a company security guard to investigate the situation.
