2 | WHITE PAPER | Decreasing Networking and Storage Costs of Your IP Video Surveillance System
With the increased prevalence of IP-based video surveillance systems on the market, and the growing adoption of higher
resolution HD and megapixel cameras, organizations and system integrators must take into account how implementing these
systems can impact their network resources. Without realistic system design considerations, organizations can risk significant
network and storage cost overruns while also compromising the reliability of their network to support applications that are
critical to their business operations. By implementing an advanced video management system (VMS), an organization can
effectively manage video streams on their network using built-in camera and software functionalities to optimize network
resources and bandwidth consumption. With such optimizations, a VMS will also help to decrease networking and storage
costs over the lifetime of a video surveillance system.
