Security video surveillance vs. logistics video solution: shared features and differences
Bordesholm, October 25, 2021
Both classic security video surveillance and multifunctional logistics video solutions are growing in popularity as digitisation advances. While security video surveillance is increasingly used in companies across all industries - and even in private households - corporate interest in specialised video solutions for warehouses and transshipment halls is growing in the field of logistics. These solutions are particularly attractive for logistics because they offer far-reaching application possibilities for control, optimisation and automation of logistics processes, security included.
At first glance, the lines between security video surveillance and logistics video solutions can appear blurred, and choosing the right system for a logistics facility may feel challenging.
Learn why, despite some similarities, security video surveillance and logistics video solutions are two fundamentally different applications. This article shows you the benefits of both solutions and explain which system is best suited for which purpose. It also highlights the added value a specialised video solution can bring to logistics companies.

CHAPTER 1
Definition
What is security video surveillance?
Security video surveillance is the observation of people, places or objects with the help of video cameras. It is mostly used to deter criminal activity, reduce vandalism, alert security personnel and/or police, monitor technical processes, and resolve isolated incidents such as burglary or theft.
What is a logistics video solution?
A logistics video solution is a multi-functional system for camera-based shipment research in logistics facilities. The video system provides functions for security, but can also be used for many other purposes in freight forwarding, parcel handling and warehouse logistics, such as scanner location, volume calculation, gate control, analysis and more.
At first glance, it seems difficult to distinguish security video surveillance and logistics video solutions.
In terms of purpose and functionality, commonalities such as cameras and video recordings first catch the eye. Yet in principle, security video surveillance and logistics video solutions are based on very different principles and the applications are intended for different user groups.
