In a world where security is paramount, CathexisVision’s cutting-edge video monitoring technology is proving to be more than just a security solution—it’s a game-changer for operational efficiency and return on investment. Dene Alkema, Managing Director of Cathexis Africa, has emphasized the company’s commitment to delivering solutions that integrate video analytics, artificial intelligence, and ease of use across industries.
So, What Does This Mean in the Real World?
For companies of any size, CathexisVision offers scalable solutions that make managing multiple sites and security systems straightforward. The Carbon interface is central to this, offering features such as smart search, advanced event monitoring, and forensic analysis that make it easier to track incidents and secure sites effectively. Alkema highlights how this technology has proven effective in diverse industries, from residential estates in Johannesburg to large-scale installations in Turkey with over 1100 cameras
The Opposite View: Not Without Its Challenges
However, while cloud-based systems provide flexibility and scalability, Alkema points out that they come with potential complications. “Cloud-based systems depend on Internet connectivity and may not be as reliable in areas with poor connectivity,” Alkema explains. Onsite systems may offer more reliability, but their initial setup and maintenance costs can be higher. It’s essential to assess your company’s specific needs before deciding between cloud or onsite options.
No Matter the Size of Your Company
Whether your company operates on a small or large scale, CathexisVision offers solutions tailored to your needs. The system is built for scalability, meaning smaller businesses can benefit from the same robust technology that powers large enterprises, ensuring efficiency, safety, and ease of management
Cloud Complications and Cybersecurity
In today’s digital age, deploying any cloud-based security solution raises concerns about cybersecurity. Alkema stresses that cybersecurity considerations must be assessed carefully when opting for cloud-based solutions to mitigate risks. CathexisVision has integrated cybersecurity features to ensure that whether you choose a cloud-based or onsite solution, your systems remain secure.
Cybersecurity and AI: A Balanced Approach
While AI can automate many tasks, there’s still a critical need for human intervention. “Even as AI matures, human operators will still be needed to verify and act on events generated by AI,” Alkema says. This hybrid approach of automation and human oversight ensures that security systems remain flexible and responsive to real-world events.
