Given enough time a particular camera, location, recorder or other piece of equipment WILL fail and your system won’t be capturing the information you bought it for. If you don’t have a management system monitoring your video systems, Erwin Schrödinger might say it is both working and broken at the same time. You won’t know for sure which it really is until you try to use it.
A key component of any managed video system is that all components are actively monitored and are pro-actively repaired. Given the number of components which are distributed about IP networks in today’s surveillance systems it is critical that these are monitored in an automated way. Redundancy helps reduce the frequency of failures for sure, but one still needs to know when a component fails so it can be replaced.
