Today, most encryption is done on the devices we use each day, made possible because of advances in hardware and software. At its core, encryption is achieved by scrambling data using a cryptographic key, only known by the sender and the receiver. A third party would be aware of the conversation, but not able to interpret it.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/the-exposure-triangle/</link><pubDate>Mon, 27 Nov 2023 00:12:29 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/the-exposure-triangle/</guid><description>By Dan Molenhouse, Solutions Engineer Overview In photography and videography, exposure is the amount of light that reaches the film or digital sensor. The process of creating an image must be precisely controlled to allow the correct amount of light to reach the imaging sensor. Three critical elements control the exposure of an image: ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. ISO is a standard for measuring sensitivity to light and dictates how much light the sensor needs to get a correctly exposed image.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/lens-distortion-correction/</link><pubDate>Mon, 13 Nov 2023 19:27:17 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/lens-distortion-correction/</guid><description>By Marcus Orciuch, Solutions Engineer Lens Distortion Correction (LDC) is a digital image processing technique used for rectifying the distortions introduced by the inherent optical properties of camera lenses. Correcting these distortions is critical for accurate representations of objects and improving the reliability of computer vision applications like facial recognition. LDC profiles are often built specifically for a lens based on known distortion characteristics and patterns, and then applied after the image is captured.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/lpr-advanced-analytics-best-practices/</link><pubDate>Thu, 26 Oct 2023 17:09:42 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/lpr-advanced-analytics-best-practices/</guid><description>By Dimi Sandu, Head of Solutions Engineering (EMEA) Most enterprise-grade CCTV systems allow for advanced analysis of the footage, such as people or vehicle characteristics, face search, or license plate recognition. Although each vendor offers different capabilities and may require different hardware and software licenses, they all have similar requirements when it comes to camera positioning. In a nutshell, the positioning and proximity of an LPR camera to the subject or object are critical and differ from a deployment intended for holistic CCTV coverage.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/symmetric-vs-aysmmetric-bandwidth/</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Oct 2023 21:40:06 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/symmetric-vs-aysmmetric-bandwidth/</guid><description>By Ciaran Gillespie, Solutions Engineer What is Bandwidth? Before jumping into the differences between symmetric and asymmetric bandwidth let&rsquo;s go back to the basics and review the question - what is bandwidth? Simply put, in networking, bandwidth is a measure of how much data can be transmitted down a particular medium, for example, copper, fiber, and wireless links in a given amount of time, usually measured in seconds. The standard unit for measuring network communications is Bits per second (Bps) or Kbps (Kilobits per second) and Mbps (Megabits per second).</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/ppf-explained/</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Oct 2023 20:55:26 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/ppf-explained/</guid><description>By Dimi Sandu, Head of Solutions Engineering (EMEA) A question often asked by people purchasing CCTV is, &ldquo;How far can this camera see?&rdquo; Similar to the human eye, the cameras can see as far as the horizon (in an open space), but the further away certain objects are, the harder it is to clearly distinguish their details. This is where the concept of Pixels Per Foot (PPF) comes into play, as it is a way to quantify the quality of the recorded footage and the people or objects contained in it.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/poe-overview/</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Sep 2023 19:54:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/poe-overview/</guid><description>Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) has transformed the way we power and connect IP cameras.

Video security helps keep locations safe through two primary methods. First, there is real-time surveillance that enables employees or law enforcement officials to discover and monitor any threat in the moment. Then there is the archival footage record that can be reviewed if a crime or other issue is uncovered or suspected at a later time. In both cases, the recorded footage needs to be securely deposited and maintained for future access — making Video Storage an essential element of every video camera security system.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/total-cost-of-ownership/</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Feb 2020 20:19:37 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/total-cost-of-ownership/</guid><description>What are the Hidden Costs of Video Surveillance Systems? When investing in a new surveillance system that will be in operation for years to come, the initial expenditure is only the tip of the iceberg. For the purposes of planning, budgeting, accounting, and projecting long-term impact, all aspects of managing and operating the project must be taken into account. This is what we mean when we refer to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/bandwidth/</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Feb 2020 21:53:31 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/surveillance-features/bandwidth/</guid><description>How much bandwidth do security cameras use?
