The Significance of Remote Monitoring



Large or complex facilities such as network operations centres, factories, power plants and airports can be monitored effectively with some degree of automation by remote monitoring and control systems. Data is received by these monitoring and control systems via telemetry streams, pre-programmed procedures, user input and various sensors. Various systems can help you to proactively monitor and manage a variety of devices such as laptops, kiosks, networks and servers and receive immediate notification should any problems arise. 
The intuitive software can send telecommands to computer systems, actuators and other devices.
One of the benefits of modern IP video surveillance systems is flexibility in video management. Whether you are at work or out and about you can easily utilise the power of the internet to access your system and watch you surveillance video.
By using port forwarding, you can manage and monitor your surveillance system from any computer provided you have an internet connection thereby making remote monitoring easy. With the use of smart phones, one can log into your surveillance system via a mobile app as well. 
Regardless of whether you have an Android or iPhone there are now mobile apps designed for both that allow you to remotely manage your video surveillance systems. Milestone,Optica, Axis, Viyotek and Smartyue are some of the leading manufacturers of these mobile apps.

Generally these mobile and remote applications have different features depending on the manufacturer but both systems allow you to view recorded and live video and to manage any alerts as they arise.

This has tremendously increased flexibility in when and how managers and security staff can respond to alerts and issues in their work places should they be off-site working on other projects and get alerts and notifications while on vacation, late at night or during the weekends.
