Vendor Insight: CCTV: Multiple Roles For The Retailer

By Jim Burkey, OMNIBUS Security Group

A security director desiring to acquire funding for a new or expanded system must recruit allies within the organization by showing how the system can be used for other purposes, thereby sharing the burden of cost as well as the advantages of the system. With the enhanced intelligent software technology available today, this is easier to accomplish than ever before.
