Fraud And Risk: Surveillance Is Only Part Of Good Security

Security isn’t just about catching the bad guys as they run away with store merchandise. And surveillance isn’t just about identifying bad guys after the fact. The whole point is to prevent theft before it happens — and not just by watching, but by taking proactive steps to discourage it.

Cameras can, however, play a big part in determining where strategies are needed and which ones will work for a particular retailer. And as part of a network, they can be a key piece in the preventative puzzle, triggering other elements of the security suite to activate.

That’s the business foundation for Swedish camera manufacturer Axis Communications.

Axis was created as an IT company in 1984, but it soon moved its eggs to the network technology basket, starting with network printers. The company then developed the first network-based surveillance camera, which captured one pixelated frame every 13 seconds.
