Surveillance Station Pros and Cons

Surveillance Station has been a fantastic tool for managing our cameras across multiple locations, like our farms, warehouses, and offices. It is easy to use, and I can monitor everything from one place, which saves me a ton of time and hassle.

I particularly love Surveillance Station because;

.It has a user-friendly interface which is simple to navigate, whether you are experienced with tech or not as everything is laid out clearly, making controlling and managing our Surveillance system super easy.

.Its centralised control which allows me to track cameras from different locations through one interface. It is great to have everything in one place, which helps me stay organized when monitoring multiple sites.

.The system's reliability and stability as it runs smoothly without crashing, so I can count on it to keep an eye on things over time without constant maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile app version of Surveillance Station is quite useful, but it’s fairly clunky compared to the computer version. This has proved to be less mobile in a way that I have to switch to a computer for purposes of the monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
