Listing Policy

Security & Facilities

Video Surveillance & VMS

Video management systems and video surveillance platforms that connect security cameras, record and store their footage, run analytics on it and keep the cameras themselves healthy, from a single building to many sites. Every tool below is measured against the same criteria, in the same order. AI video analytics is one criterion among seven here and not the definition of the category: a system that records and manages cameras belongs here with or without it.
