surveillance gives

version of events

March 2013 Many companies in South Africa employ security personnel as their first line of defence in shop fronts or as part of their business operations. However, when a security ‘incident’ occurs, in reality it is often difficult to assess the liability of the parties involved. Incidents are usually dealt with ‘after the fact’. SerVision’s real time low bandwidth streaming allows the control room to view the activity of the incident in question via GSM or WIFI and respond accordingly in real time. This is according to Mark Chertkow, Managing Director, at Graphic Image Technologies (GIT), a company that specialises in mobile and remote closed circuit television (CCTV) and control room technologies. “Security management teams have to rely on the guard's version of events or eye witness accounts, without having a comprehensive view of the reported incidents as they happen. This can have serious implications. Complaints against security personnel have the potential to cost them their jobs as they have to prove their standpoint from their version of events alone. Often it comes down to a 'he said, she said' scenario and companies face a difficult task to take decisive action if necessary, be it legally or otherwise. The additional live access moves the solution from a post-event analysis tool to a real-time proactive solution,” says Chertkow.
