CCTV and IP systems

While traditional analog video surveillance systems provided basic monitoring and recording, IP-based video surveillance technology improves the effectiveness of video security with a number of benefits:

• Standard network equipment and server hardware is used for video management and storage.
• Structured cabling allows for flexible, cost effective installations.
• Off site recording, notification, viewing, and storage are possible.
• Scalability: The system can be expanded by one camera at a time.
• Analytic software can be used to record only relevant data and notify security personnel when specific threats are detected.
• Much higher security of images using encryption and watermarking
• High resolution IP cameras of up to 16 megapixels can record large areas eliminating the need for multiple pan/tilt/zoom cameras.
