How can Milestone ensure data security during video transmission?

Implementing encryption protocols is crucial for ensuring data security during video transmission. Encryption transforms the original data into an unreadable format, which can only be reverted to its original form with the correct decryption key. This means that even if the video data is intercepted during transmission, unauthorized users will not be able to view or manipulate the content without access to the decryption key.

This method of securing data is particularly important for video surveillance, where privacy and confidentiality are paramount. It protects sensitive information from potential cyber threats, ensuring that only authorized users can access the transmitted video streams.

Other measures, while they may contribute to overall security, do not specifically address the integrity and confidentiality of the transmitted data in the same way that encryption does. For instance, reducing the frame rate may conserve bandwidth but does not secure the transmitted data. Limiting device connectivity can minimize exposure to potential attacks but does not inherently protect the data itself during transmission. Storing data in the cloud provides convenience but also raises concerns about where and how data is managed and accessed, making encryption during transmission a more critical first step in safeguarding data.
