Ubiquiti's Unifi Full Surveillance Management System

Healthcare centers, public facilities and campuses require security and monitoring especially with today’s widespread violence and petty crimes. Security systems can get costly and analog systems require more cameras to cover a wide area, more cables, storage, media and the lack of encryption opens up analog systems to hackers. (Think of the movie “Speed”).

Digital or IP-based video security systems have come a long way with affordability, scalability, higher resolution, intelligence and can be integrated with analytics. Modern, cloud connected systems offer remote monitoring, access and better security.

Ubiquiti’s Unifi video security systems are a full suite of surveillance cameras, both wired and wireless, mounting accessories, storage and management with all the equipment required to create end-to-end solutions.

WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT UBIQUITI

A wireless mesh network spreads connection among dozens or even hundreds of wireless network connection across a large area.

UniFi offers a range of high definition cameras and switches that are PoE enabled. A PoE (Power Over Ethernet) enabled device gets its network and power over a single cable. This saves the hassle of having to run power and network cables to each device. With PoE, battery backup and generator connections can be made in a single, central location, instead of having to provide backup power at each endpoint.  Indoor and outdoor devices, as well as desktop, wall or ceiling mounted cameras are also available.

The Unifi Full Surveillance Management System feature-packed User Interface, Accessible from a web browser, is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. The UniFi Video interface is incredibly intuitive and loaded with powerful features such as detailed statistical reporting, multiple views, versatile camera settings, advanced analytics, and customizable event recordings. Plug and Play installation and automatic camera detection in the UniFi Video software make it easy to install and deploy cameras. Configure camera settings, reboot the camera, or upgrade the firmware easily using the UniFi Video interface. With UniFi, the cameras handle motion detection instead of the server, reducing the workload on the server and ensuring that compression and noise won’t affect motion detection. UniFi Video has automatic recording management to free up disk space. User-definable disk space and date-based auto purge allow users to keep a set amount of free disk space or automatically delete recordings after a set number of days. Another storage feature is the ability to map external USB or network storage drives. And best of all, there are no monthly video hosting or storage fees!
