Reading thru an otherwise uneventful Avigilon press release, Securing the Super Bowl, I came across this strange assertion:
I have also seen how Avigilon software has been instrumental in investigating situations live or recorded in literally seconds. With that kind of response time, the Avigilon solution can be just as much as a proactive tool as a retrospective tool - which was what video surveillance systems were previously limited to.
Is there another interpretation besides "before Avigilon, there were no systems that could enable real-time decision making and deployment"?
What else could it mean? Ironically, the earliest cctv systems were only live monitored, because there was no way to record yet.
