Use Cases

Preventing Thefts, Burglaries, and Vandalism

Fortinet empowers organizations to fight and prevent crimes with an integrated video surveillance system. The reliable FortiCamera gives organizations a full security coverage, day and night, for every entry point within your properties: lobbies, shipping and receiving areas, emergency exits, parking lots, garages, and more. Organizations have a centralized control and visibility from a single management platform, onsite or remotely, 24/7.

Delivering a Safe and Secure Environment

Built to perform in all weather and lighting conditions, FortiCamera delivers HD image quality with smart motion detection and low-light sensitivity technologies that capture all the activity details within your offices and the surrounding areas. Combined with FortiRecorder AI-enabled systems, Fortinet video surveillance empowers organizations to build safer environments by automatically detecting suspicious objects, vehicles, and faces, then triggering events and notifications to prevent potential incidents.

Boosting Operational Efficiency

Smart cameras and video analysis can also collect and analyze both working habits and environment conditions to improve your business efficiency. Factories and manufacturing, for example, can benefit from physical security systems to reduce waste, control hazardous materials, and ensure regulatory compliance. FortiCamera along with the video surveillance solution gives organizations a simplified management platform with all-inclusive security and AI-analysis capabilities to optimize business protection and operational efficiency

Sustaining Capacity and Density Control

Restaurants, retail stores, and government buildings are often required to limit the number of people in specific areas. The Fortinet physical security solution goes beyond a standard video surveillance system. FortiCamera, combined with FortiRecorder and AI-powered FortiCentral, accurately detects people entering the area and provides capacity information to help businesses manage the number of people on their premises. Additional heatmap analytics give you a visualization of the traffic frequency of an area to help you improve your business.
