Willem Ryan: The next big thing to hit the video surveillance market will be sharper and smarter technologies that make visual data actionable, giving end users the intelligence to take proactive action instead of simply reacting. Effective video surveillance demands clear images to maximize situation- al awareness, along with simultaneous persistent area coverage and detailed image interrogation. These standards need to be delivered while taking up minimum bandwidth and storage. New, sharper technologies are offering higher resolution, such as Avigilon's 7K HD Pro camera. Smarter solutions are being supported by new bandwidth management technology and user-friendly software, such as the Avigilon Control Center software with High Definition Stream Management tech- nology. The end result is a system that delivers scalability, bandwidth and storage management.
