Hikvision surveillance cameras are a popular commercial video camera maker. They show up 1,700,000 times in Google.
Hikvision cameras provide video access to what’s happening throughout your property. They can increase the safety at your shopping center, multifamily apartment complex, office building, warehouse, car dealership, industrial property, or other commercial real estate and help protect buildings, tenants, and valuable assets. They’re especially critical in the evenings and early morning when you have few or no staff on-site.
Hikvision
Hikvision was founded in 2001. 8% of Hikvision’s annual revenue goes into research and development. This company designs, develops, and manufactures HD security cameras with infrared, wide dynamic range, face recognition, and intrusion detection capabilities.
Live Monitoring Benefits
Hikvision surveillance cameras can be a part of an effective security solution to combat crime. However typical surveillance systems are reactive. The cameras display video recordings after a crime has already occurred, which rarely leads to an arrest. Recordings cannot identify a criminal who wears a mask, hoodie, or hat or otherwise hides or stay out of camera view. Stored video that’s watched after an event cannot be used to help stop a current crime in progress.
In comparison high resolution IP security cameras that are monitored live can help deter crime in real-time. Trained operators can activate speakers when they see suspicious activity. The speaker audio warning tells intruders and unwanted visitors that they’re on camera live and police are on the way. Would-be thieves often leave the property when they know they’re being watched. If you’ve spent thousands of dollars on Hikvision surveillance cameras that aren’t watched, you’re not maximizing your investment to reduce loss due to damage and theft.
Security Camera Compatibility
UCIT’s live video surveillance service can watch most Hikvision ONVIF-compatible IP security cameras, as well as many IP and analog cameras from other manufacturers.
Hikvision manufactures bullet cameras, dome cameras, vandal-resistant cameras, and turret analog cameras, such as the Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-IW and Hikvision DS-2CD23232-1. Hikvision also manufacturers digital video servers, hybrid and standalone DVR’s and NVR’s, encoders, speed domes, and other indoor and outdoor CCTV capabilities.

Customers tell us they’ve been able to both increase occupancy and raise rents.
If you have security guards doing live video monitoring or otherwise on-site, you know how expensive they can be. Pay typically starts at $20 per hour. Plus there can be costs for uniforms, benefits, golf carts, guard shacks, office space, and much more. UCIT live surveillance can provide live surveillance at a cost of up to 80% off the price of a security guard.
