While surveillance systems may always count on security as their key selling point, there is a persistent case to be made for this technology to do much more. Graham Birtles, the Toronto Zoo’s supervisor of safety and security, remarked that his organization’s use of surveillance has been highly adapted for its particular needs. The zoo is situated on more than 500 acres of land, is home to 2000+ animals, and welcomes over 1.3 million guests annually. While the zoo’s cameras may serve its security needs, they can also provide a very useful service for the animals’ caretakers. Any decisions made around security investments should take more than just the next fiscal year into consideration. “Whatever investment you’re making, you want to make sure you can build upon it. Please think long-term,” was said, adding that bringing an integrator into a project on Day 1 will ensure that the smartest possible decisions can be made on how and where to invest. https://lnkd.in/gkrPibAN
