Security Camera Solutions

Camera Security Systems have drastically changed in the past several years.  The traditional analog video is being replaced by IP based cameras and video solutions. Benefits networked video security systems include off-site video storage, instant notifications of events/alarms, remote viewing, live monitoring, and smartphone control.

A new generation of IP-based, high resolution, low light capable cameras provide sharper images with a dramatic increase in image quality and image size.  Initial installation cost lower as fewer cameras offer more coverage for the same monitored space using fewer cables or across your network with sufficient available capacity.

CCTV vs. IP Cameras

IP-based Video surveillance has numerous benefits over analog, such as increased scalability, flexibility, and facilitates intelligent surveillance such as facial recognition, object recognition, license plate recognition, automated alert, and automated email generation. In analog systems, the DVR, once installed, becomes unable to adapt and assimilate advancements in hardware and software technologies. IP camera video technology allows for a larger, clearer picture than analog CCTV cameras, due to the fact that IP cameras have higher megapixel abilities. The IP camera sees more of the coverage area, with a clearer image and more details. In cases of suspicious activity, this allows for further enhancing and zooming to search for evidence when necessary.

When you make the decision to install a surveillance system, you must think about exactly what you to achieve with the system. Most of our utilize these systems to achieve two main goals:

Protect specific assets

  1. Cash transactions
  2. Loss of Inventory
  3. Inappropriate employee behavior
  4. Monitor customer traffic
  5. Monitor access to restricted

Mitigate specific risks

  1. Workman’s compensation claims
  2. Customer accidents (slip & fall)
  3. Visual deterrent
  4. Vendor monitoring
  5. Productivity loss caused by underperforming staff

We consider the following operating environment and intended usage:

 

  • Where will the camera(s) be located?
  • Will the camera be indoors or outdoors?
  • System Design and installation
  • Should cameras be Analog or Enterprise IP-Based Systems
  • Color Day/Night Cameras
  • Remote Monitoring and Maintenance
  • Digital & Network Video Recorders
