Observit Video Hosting Services 6 Sustainable solution Reduce CO 2 emission Lower cost Remote video management reduce CO2 and lower cost Remote management and access is one of the advantages of installing and operating hosted video. You don t need to physically handle the camera to investigate an incident. Instead, you can see and analyze the material from a distance using a computer/device, and then take appropriate action. Alarm operator significantly reduces the number of emergency call-outs. One study shows that as much as 97 percent (!) of all call-outs are false alarms. Every call-out adds considerable costs in terms of transportation time, gas and vehicle maintenance, and generates unnecessary CO2 emissions. Remote access also facilitates the maintenance of the Video surveillance system. Camera maintenance, upgrades, diagnostics, troubleshooting and retrieving image material. A reduction in both CO2 emissions and costs quickly becomes evident as a result of less driving time, less fuel, lower vehicle costs and less time spent on performing camera maintenance. A camera with remote access reduces the number of maintenance visits by about 50 percent. Example (Axis sustainability report 2013) A municipality uses cameras for surveillance of schools, libraries and other municipal buildings. The system includes surveillance of 10 locations in total with 12 cameras in each location. Energy saving: Over 5 years, there are large differences in the total power consumption, including the cameras power consumption and possible external lighting, depending on the type of camera: 381,410 kwh for analog cameras 68,330 kwh for IR cameras 34,160 kwh for cameras with Lightfinder technology Measured in the quantity of carbon dioxide emissions, the energy savings in an installation with cameras featuring Lightfinder technology will result in 91 percent less emissions and an installation with IR cameras will result in 50 percent less emissions, compared to an equivalent installation featuring analog cameras. Cost Saving Remote control saves one hour driving time in connection with service visits to 10 installations with 12 cameras each. Over 5 years, remote control will deliver savings of about SEK 2 million (calculated in terms of fuel costs and hourly rates for personnel).
