Video surveillance systems built for modern businesses

Video surveillance uses security cameras, software, and video management tools to monitor activity across a property. Modern video surveillance systems do more than record footage. They use AI-powered analytics to detect potential threats, send alerts, and help security teams investigate incidents faster. For example, Kastle provides end-to-end video surveillance solutions that work with access control and visitor management.

Video surveillance systems work by capturing live video through security cameras. The footage is stored in the cloud or on local servers. AI-powered analytics can identify people, vehicles, and other events in real time, while video management software lets you view live feeds, search recorded footage, and manage cameras from a single platform. Many systems, including Kastle, also integrate with access control, alarms, and other security technologies to provide a complete view of what's happening across your property.

While the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a clear difference between video surveillance and video security. Video surveillance captures and manages video footage. A video security solution combines cameras, AI, monitoring, and response to help detect threats and improve security outcomes. Kastle combines advanced video surveillance with expert monitoring, maintenance, and support to deliver a complete video security solution.

Video surveillance offers many benefits for businesses. For example, it can deter crime, improve situational awareness, and help investigate incidents more quickly. Add AI-powered analytics into the mix, and video surveillance can help reduce false alarms and alert security teams to suspicious activity in real time. For many organizations, video surveillance can also support compliance, improve operational visibility, and help protect employees, customers, and assets.

Yes. Video surveillance works with access control. In fact, Kastle combines AI-powered video surveillance and access control into a single platform, giving your team better visibility, faster investigations, and a more connected security experience. Our team of experts can help you design a complete security solution that integrates video surveillance and access control.
