Seeing is Believing
For both property owners and managers, the importance of security cameras as an indispensable tool for security cannot be overstated. They provide a vigilant eye, monitoring properties 24/7, deterring potential intruders, and capturing critical evidence in case of incidents. However, the effectiveness of a security camera system hinges not only on its hardware but also on the software powering it.
A poorly configured or outdated security camera system can leave properties vulnerable to a host of threats. For instance, a system lacking advanced analytics may fail to detect suspicious activity, such as loitering individuals or unauthorized entry. A system without reliable remote access could delay response times to emergencies. And a system without robust cybersecurity measures could expose sensitive data to cyberattacks.
Luckily, UNV, a globally renowned security camera provider, has equipped their products with some of the most crucial software breakthroughs in the industry. In today's All Security Equipment blog post, we will delve into five of these standout features that can significantly enhance the security and peace of mind for property managers and owners.

5 UniView Critical Software Features
1. Your Digital Watchdog: AI-Powered Intelligent Video Analytics
AI-Powered Intelligent Video Analytics (also known as IVA) is a game-changer in the world of security. This cutting-edge technology leverages advanced AI algorithms to automatically detect and analyze events in real-time, providing proactive security solutions. IVA can identify and track objects, detect anomalies, and trigger alerts based on predefined rules, empowering security personnel to respond swiftly and effectively to potential threats. By automating routine tasks and improving accuracy, AI-powered IVA significantly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of security operations.
Benefits of IVA:
- Proactive Threat Detection: AI-powered IVA can detect and alert you to potential threats, such as intruders, loitering individuals, or suspicious activity, before they escalate.
- Enhanced Situational Awareness: By analyzing video footage, AI-powered IVA can provide valuable insights into traffic patterns, crowd behavior, and other important metrics.
- Reduced False Alarms: AI-powered IVA can differentiate between genuine threats and false alarms, minimizing unnecessary alerts and saving time and resources.
Imagine a scenario where a security system without AI-powered IVA fails to detect a break-in attempt during off-hours. The intruder could have ample time to ransack the property, causing significant damage and loss. To avoid such a thing from happening in your property, we’d recommend the UNV 5MP LightHunter Active Deterrence Mini PTZ Camera - which comes equipped with IVA powered smart intrusion prevention, false alarm filtering, Cross Line inclusion and “Intrusion, Enter Area, Leave Area” detection.
2. Smart Search and Playback: Find What You Need, When You Need It
“Smart Search and Playback” is a powerful tool that enables you to quickly and efficiently search and review recorded footage.

Remote Access and Monitoring allows you to stay connected to your security system from anywhere in the world. With a simple login, you can view live video feeds, review recorded footage, and control your security system using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
For instance, it’s not unlikely you find yourself in a situation where a property owner is alerted to a fire alarm going off at their business. With remote access, they can immediately verify the situation, contact emergency services, and take appropriate action.
Most UNV products and security systems allow for such a level of connectivity through their UNV-Link App.
The UNV-Link app is a powerful mobile application designed to enhance the user experience of UniView security systems.
