Reducing Facility Operating Costs

Controlling business costs is challenging, considering the rising costs for power and other consumables. The Video system can play an important roll when evaluating your business campaign for conservation. By being conservation-minded, you can save a surprising amount of money each month.

1. Check to see if building lights are on

   Managing Energy Costs becomes more important as a business grows. Consider using the Video system to help you determine if unoccupied rooms need to have the lights turned off. You can set a policy to send a guard or responsible individual to go to unused rooms and areas to turn off lights, and set back heating and air conditioning. This will save significant money from the power bill.

2. Use fewer parking lot lights at night

   Illuminating grounds and property at night is important for security and safety, but is extremely costly. Use of a Video system can help to reduce the requirement for outside lighting. Using camera illuminators and Day&Night cameras helps to reduce the need for bright light on grounds and property, and in parking lots. Integrating the security system with grounds lighting control can allow the system to turn on lights when it detects motion on the grounds.

3. Maximize efficiency of Security Staff

   While needed in many high-security applications, guard services are expensive, and vary in quality and dependability. By creating a central monitoring room, one or two guards can effectively observe multiple areas. Roving guards can supervise grounds areas with limited visibility, or where visibility of their presence is required. By integrating the video system with intrusion detection and access control systems, the system can log activity and react to events in predetermined ways.

4. Maximize efficiency of Process Control

   Watching over certain manufacturing processes or procedure counters can be advantageous for quality control and security purposes. Using the video system allows you to look at counting, mixing, packaging, or other procedures. This helps system users to improve and maintain quality in supervised processes.

5. Manage risk by observing and analyzing incidents and accidents

   Watching over aisle ways, hallways, and general areas for public behavior can help you to control your insurance costs. The Video system can help users with managing risks related to slip and fall, injuries, and accidents.
