Important considerations for camera deployment
When it comes to camera system deployment, SMB needs to consider several factors.

A closed system provides consistency, but is usually more expensive. For small businesses, end-to-end upgrades can be prohibitively expensive.
Compliance regulations: Compliance is important when SMBS chooses AI-enabled cameras. In fact, some states have drafted or passed facial recognition laws that govern the collection, use and storage of this data. The team must also review applicable laws and ensure that the contractor is certified to do so under state law.
