Operator Using Camera

Increase Visualization with IP Cameras

Bryan Harned

When you think about IP Cameras in your work environment, what comes to mind?  You might think of monitoring safety and security of the facility.  That is a completely valid thought.  For many facilities that is likely the main reason that cameras were put in to place.
