When people talk about security system monitoring, they’re usually thinking about a single building or campus.
A few cameras. A recorder. Maybe a switch or two.
At that scale, problems are visible. If something breaks, someone notices. If a camera goes down, it gets reported. If recording fails, it’s usually caught within a reasonable amount of time.
Now take that same model and apply it to a distributed environment with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of locations.
Everything changes.
