Tamper Detection
What is tamper detection?
Tamper detection is a security feature in surveillance cameras and systems that alerts users when someone tries to interfere with or disable the device. This includes actions like blocking the lens, moving the camera, defocusing it, or cutting power. Businesses use tamper detection to ensure continuous monitoring, prevent vandalism, and quickly respond to security threats. It helps maintain the integrity of surveillance systems by notifying security teams of any attempts to compromise camera functionality.

Why is tamper detection important?
Tamper detection is important because it ensures that security cameras remain operational and reliable by alerting users to interference or sabotage. If a camera is blocked, moved, defocused, or disabled, tamper detection immediately notifies security teams, allowing them to respond quickly. This helps prevent vandalism, theft, and blind spots in surveillance coverage. Businesses rely on tamper detection to maintain continuous monitoring, protect critical areas, and ensure that security systems function as intended, reducing the risk of undetected incidents.
