10 Examples of Helping

Just this month, we have helped various members around the world on specific requests. Here are some examples:

• A Police Officer PRO member asked us how he can determine whether a system he is reviewing is IP or analog. Here's our answer on determining analog vs IP. 
• An integrator PRO member asked us on our recent webinar what's the difference between day/night and IR cameras and when should he use one versus the other. While he was a little reluctant to ask this seemingly basic question, it is an excellent one and an important ask in designing systems. Here's our answer on day/night vs IR cameras.
