Avoiding Crime: Nawakara Shares Tips to Optimize Security with Integrated CCTV and Data Management

Jakarta – Amid the rising cases of crime and incidents requiring proof through CCTV footage, the public is increasingly recognizing the importance of a reliable surveillance system. In some cases, the loss of CCTV footage during investigations highlights the critical need for proper data management and CCTV system maintenance across various institutions.

When footage is lost, it becomes challenging to uphold the truth, and the pursuit of justice may be hindered. This situation underscores the importance of a well-integrated CCTV system that not only relies on recordings but also ensures all data is secure and accessible when needed.

Nawakara, a Security Solutions service company, understands the challenges businesses and institutions face today in maintaining security and data integrity. To address these challenges, Nawakara has developed a CCTV system that integrates advanced technology. This goes beyond merely installing cameras to building a security ecosystem that comprehensively meets all surveillance needs.

Alamsyah Mone, Head of the Delivery Services Electronic Device Department at Nawakara, explained that in today’s dynamic technological landscape, the ability to respond to incidents in real-time is crucial. “Nawakara’s integrated CCTV and alarm system, coupled with the Nawakara Command Center, offers an effective real-time monitoring solution. For instance, the automatic camera pop-up feature allows threats to be detected immediately on the operator’s screen, enabling security teams in the field to respond quickly and take immediate action. Moreover, efficient data management is key to a secure CCTV system. The data collected from this surveillance system can be used to analyze conditions and behaviors in the field more effectively,” he explained during an interview on August 16, 2024, at Nawakara’s Head Office.

Other benefits of real-time monitoring include the ability to prevent potential threats before they escalate into more significant issues. Additionally, operators can focus their attention on areas that require the most surveillance, improving resource efficiency.

Furthermore, effective data management is at the heart of a reliable CCTV system. It is essential to ensure that all data is recorded and stored securely and in an organized manner. Nawakara offers flexible storage solutions, including on-premise storage—a data storage and processing system managed directly by the company’s internal IT team within a facility—and off-premise (cloud) storage, meaning the software is not located on the premises. Off-premise storage is often referred to as the cloud.

In this regard, Nawakara tailors its services to meet clients’ needs and preferences. With the latest encryption technology, Nawakara ensures that data is not only protected from loss but also safeguarded against unauthorized access.

Some data security measures that can be implemented include:

• Data Encryption: Using the latest encryption technology is a vital step in protecting sensitive data, including video recordings and other important information, from potential security breaches. Encryption converts data into a code that can only be accessed with a special key, ensuring that unauthorized parties cannot read or manipulate the data. Even if the data falls into the wrong hands, it remains secure and inaccessible without the correct encryption key.
• Access Monitoring: Every time the surveillance system or data is accessed, a digital trace is recorded in detail. This process, known as access monitoring, logs every activity—whether it’s logging in, transferring data, or changing system configurations—and automatically analyzes it to detect suspicious patterns or activities. Strict access monitoring enables companies to promptly detect and respond to anomalies that could indicate hacking attempts or system misuse.
• Security Training: Security does not rely solely on technology but also on the people operating and managing the system. Therefore, providing regular security training to client staff is essential in ensuring data security. This training includes knowledge of how to properly operate the surveillance system, understand the security procedures to follow, and how to respond to emergency situations or security threats.

“With the increasing threats, Nawakara always stays updated with the latest CCTV security technologies, such as Face Recognition CCTV, motion sensor cameras, and thermal CCTV. It is essential to ensure that the security of CCTV recordings is integrated. Nawakara Command Center (NCC) implements strict security protocols, including regular user and password changes, as well as periodic security audits to ensure that all systems operate according to the latest security standards. We hope that a reliable surveillance system and effective data management can continuously ensure security,” concluded Alamsyah Mone.
