SightLogix has written a concise guidebook to assist site managers, security directors, policy makers, architects and engineers, and integrators responsible for planning, selecting, and installing a smart video-based security system. Titled “The Smart Video Security Handbook,” the book contains real-world information and advice on all the steps necessary to create and implement a truly effective video security system, while offering a roadmap about how the technology may be used in the future.

“The technologies discussed in the Smart Video Security Handbook present a profound opportunity to make the world safer, and yet the fundamental concepts have been largely misunderstood,” said John Romanowich, CEO, SightLogix, Inc. “We wrote this book to demystify the issues and help security professionals achieve true situational awareness for outdoor applications - and in the future - indoor environments.”

The Smart Video Security Handbook incorporates many of the lessons learned about smart video technology and its practical applications.

Topics include:

  • Advantages and limits of smart thermal video security
  • How to select the proper equipment and use it effectively
  • Designing systems for effectiveness, easy implementation, and low cost
  • Ensuring maximum site coverage and prompt response to events
  • Sample site plans for security systems, with diagrams and explanations
  • Using smart thermal video with a security operations centre (SOC) or central station (CS) monitoring service
  • New directions for indoor security applications
