A bill that would allow cameras inside nursing homes is waiting for Arizona lawmakers in the senate to bring it for a debate and vote.

    Oh yah. Closed circuit only. No need for them to be online.

    But what do you mean opt-out? That’s not really a practical option. You can’t have the cameras shut off while you’re in the dayroom with everyone else.

      Our political system is so busted that the people no longer have a say but if the price is right the politicians will throw the rules right out the window. We should also see what other local news channels are saying. I mean AARP whats their gain in all this… 2 things “The lady doth protest too much, methinks” and Cui bono? Always wrapping themselves in the flag of something. I smell bullshit

      Most of the large security camera companies these days, like Verkada, utilize IP cameras for a variety of reasons.

      Having the whole system be onsite and closed circuit requires a lot more hardware and wiring. IP cameras used to be an almost unusable option, but nowadays with how much data is required by high quality video it’s a far more reasonable option. Not to mention latency has improved significantly, which used to be a big problem with IP cameras.

      Verkada style IP camera systems are far easier to install as well, compared to hardwiring a CCTV throughout a huge facility.

      It can certainly be “online” and still be highly secure. Most clients would prefer that option over a traditional system

        At this point I was assuming closed circut were technically all IP cameras, just running on their own isolated network, one not accessible from the internet.
