Frequently Asked Questions
Most industrial security camera systems store footage for 30 to 90 days, depending on storage capacity and recording settings. Cloud-based solutions may offer extended retention.
Key areas for industrial security cameras include:
- Production lines (quality control)
- Workstations (safety monitoring)
- Material storage (theft prevention)
- Loading docks & parking lots (security threats)
- Entry & exit points (access control)
Common risks include theft, vandalism, unauthorized access, workplace safety hazards, and liability concerns. Advanced AI-powered security solutions help detect threats in real time.
Yes, networked surveillance systems allow remote monitoring of multiple manufacturing sites from a single platform, integrating AI analytics and cloud storage.
Some industrial cameras have two-way audio, but recording laws vary. Businesses should check local regulations before enabling audio surveillance.
Top choices include:
- 4K Ultra HD – High-detail footage
- 5MP Color Night – Clear night vision
- PTZ Cameras – Auto-tracking & AI analytics
- Thermal Imaging – Detects heat variations
- Explosion-Proof – For harsh environments
Is 720p resolution enough for a factory floor?
No, 720p is too low for large areas. 4K or 5MP cameras provide the needed clarity for machine monitoring, security, and workplace safety.
Yes, but H.265 compression reduces storage use while maintaining video quality.
