# Best Video Surveillance Software - Page 7 *By [Rachana Hasyagar](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/rachana-hasyagar)* Video surveillance software enables organizations to monitor and protect fixed physical environments using video feeds from security cameras, providing real-time visibility, centralized camera management, incident detection alerts, and searchable video archives to enhance on-site security and support compliance, investigations, and audits. ### Core Capabilities of Video Surveillance Software To qualify for inclusion in the Video Surveillance category, a product must: - Provide real-time video monitoring capabilities using stationary or mobile cameras - Offer a centralized dashboard to view, manage, and analyze footage from multiple cameras - Support video storage, either on-premises or in the cloud - Be designed for security surveillance use cases such as incident detection, intrusion alerts, and compliance auditing across fixed physical environments ### Common Use Cases for Video Surveillance Software Security teams in manufacturing, retail, logistics, education, and healthcare use video surveillance software for continuous physical environment monitoring. Common use cases include: - Monitoring office buildings, warehouses, and campuses in real time to detect unauthorized access and theft - Maintaining searchable video archives for post-incident investigations and regulatory audits - Reducing manual monitoring burdens through automated alerts triggered by suspicious activity ### How Video Surveillance Software Differs from Other Tools Video surveillance software is often deployed as part of a broader physical security strategy, integrating with [incident management software](https://www.g2.com/categories/incident-management) to create a unified security response ecosystem. Unlike general video management tools, video surveillance platforms are purpose-built for security use cases, prioritizing real-time monitoring, access control integration, and evidence management over content distribution or collaboration. ### Insights from G2 on Video Surveillance Software Based on category trends on G2, centralized multi-camera management and real-time alert capabilities stand out as standout features.
