When you select a camera for video surveillance, an important aspect that you’re actually choosing is the camera’s lens. Just like typical cameras you use to take snapshots, surveillance cameras have a field of view (FoV). That simply means the size of the real-world scene they can capture at once.
There have been many cases in which armed criminals have wounded or killed others, sometimes with no known motive, or as a result of personal grievances. Sadly, recent years have seen all too many such attacks. But far more often, firearms are used in the commission of a crime to
You’ve probably seen movies where government agencies, shadowy masterminds, or company security teams have instant access to surveillance cameras from around the world and can zoom in on any subject of interest by selecting from a bank of high-resolution monitors. Some of those remote-view scenarios come down to movie magic
Imagine this. You’re a police officer, and you’ve just been dispatched to a college campus because a 911 caller has reported several people carrying military-style rifles on campus, and said that he’s heard gunfire and shooting inside a classroom building. Now you’re on campus with other officers, and you’re outside
Artificial intelligence dominates conversations about the future of security. At Eagle Eye Networks, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this revolution, providing businesses with a complete AI-driven safety and security system. But it’s worth remembering that the most fundamental role of video surveillance — providing a pair of
AI and cloud video surveillance can help retail businesses scale by providing insights into customer behavior, optimizing operations, and enhancing security measures. Most every retail business has security cameras — to discourage shoplifting, vandalism, and other harmful behaviors, of course. But if you own or manage a retail business, your
On a bustling Monday evening in Manhattan, a bustling symbol of business and ambition became a scene of horror. The shooting at 345 Park Avenue, a building housing some of the world’s most prominent companies, was a brutal wake-up call. It was a tragedy that claimed innocent lives — an
You’ve doubtless noticed them, whether or not your business is using them yet: cameras perched on highways, at toll booths, and in parking garages designed to automatically read vehicle license plates. License Plate Recognition — or LPR — seems simple enough on the surface when it works smoothly. But LPR
For typical surveillance deployments, your options are broad: the application may dictate that an overhead camera is necessary, or a camera capable of panning, tilting, and zooming (shorthand: “PTZ”). For some parts of your premises, a wider-angle lens or a lower camera resolution may suffice. It may not even need
For a few years now, AI has dominated both technology and business news. Some of the flashiest examples of AI are about generating new images or text. But what AI brings to video surveillance is something quite different, and no less exciting for the capabilities it brings. For businesses and
There’s a lot of noise out there about artificial intelligence — some of it exciting, some of it dystopian, and a lot of it just plain wrong. We get it. Hollywood has spent decades convincing us that artificial intelligence is either plotting world domination or building detailed dossiers on our
Around the world, 2025 has seen significant weather-related harm, with summer heatwaves breaking numerous national and regional records, contributing to power outages, work slowdowns, and widespread personal stress. Workplace injuries and illness due to heat have naturally drawn attention as a form of preventable harm and a problem for businesses
You may have heard something like this before, and you’ve certainly thought it: “One car alarm is useful. A thousand car alarms is noise.” When you can’t easily sort unimportant information (a cat jumped on your car’s hood) from important alerts (your car is being broken into), it all eventually
Indoor security cameras are typically mounted in fixed, relatively protected locations, such as the corner of a room or flush to the ceiling. And since they’re safely out of the elements, the top concerns for indoor cameras’ placement typically include getting the best visual coverage, keeping cameras out of the
Ensuring safety and security requires more than just static blueprints, which are often outdated. Imagine navigating a building’s security layout in an interactive 3D environment, understanding camera placements, and even accessing live feeds directly within the floor plan. This article explores the innovative partnership between Eagle Eye Networks and CoreSpec
