With technologies advancing, video surveillance is moving away from the old fashioned video cassette recorders (VCR) and becoming more digital. There are pros and cons for this as recordings can be saved into multiple storage options or even online, which in comparison to  the VCR recordings which can be easily destroyed. The ability to automatically store recordings on multiple devices or storage options means that an intruder can’t just take the video cassette anymore to remove the evidence. However, with the increase of technology also comes the higher possibility of a cyber-attack which could enable the intruder to destroy the evidence or add a virus to the device which stores the information which in turn can make it impossible to access the information. Therefore for any owner of video surveillance cameras, ensuring that you pick the best type of video surveillance software as well as the best protection for your computer device is essential, including antivirus software.
