IP VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
SECURITY CAMERAS
IP cameras are known by many different names such as IP camera, network camera, IP network camera, Internet camera, network webcam, and so on but they all refer to the same item: An IP video device which can deliver live images over IP-based networks such as a Local Area Network (LAN) or the Internet.
The IP camera is a stand-alone network device which can operate without the support of a PC. This means the camera does not rely on software from a PC to help it produce images in the same way a USB web cam would, but instead the IP camera can be connected to a local network based in any home or business and deliver images to any connected PC be it at the same location or half-way round the world across the internet. IP cameras come with a wide variety of features such as fixed lenses, pan-tilt-zoom control, endless 360 degree panning, indoor or outdoor use, 2-way audio, infrared illumination, intelligent video analytics etc. There’s always a camera to suit your needs.
Flexible and powerful, IP video provides many advanced features not found in traditional analog CCTV systems making it ideal for video survelliance, monitoring and recording. Utilizing the power of AI, IP cameras can now alert customers of videos that they may wish to take a closer look at.
BUBBLE DOME VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SECURITY CAMERAS
Dome security camera systems are very versatile, with various combinations of features readily available. A dome camera can be a fixed position camera, PTZ camera, infrared, outdoor, indoor, night vision, vandal-proof, weatherproof, and day/night (meaning the camera systems are color by day and black and white at night),
Dome cameras can be mounted almost anywhere using a variety of dome mounts, such as pendant and recessed mounts. A pendant mount allows the camera to hang from the mount arm as a pendant does on a necklace. A recessed mount hides the entire camera except for the dome. Cameras using these mounts usually are mounted in drop or tile ceilings.
PTZ VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
SECURITY CAMERAS
Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) is a name given to a type of camera designed for user control of the movement and position of the lens from the DVR or from a remote location. Panning refers to horizontal movement of the lens where tilting describes vertical movement. The process of zooming refers to the adjustment of the focal length of the lens to make a subject appear close-up or far away depending on the setting. Although a lot of cameras come with vari-focal lenses with focal length adjustment, a camera described as PTZ will almost certainly have an adjustable optical zoom.
Surveillance cameras with PTZ capability will often also support user defined preset positions which will allow the user to specify a number of positions that they can easily monitor. Preset positions can also be used with alarm triggers, so for example when a camera detects motion it can be directed to move to a specified preset covering an entry/exit point or a valuable object in the room. Some cameras also support guard patrolling and auto panning features which will allow the camera to move automatically between user-defined preset positions providing remote surveillance of a wide area with no user input. In conjunction with motion detection some cameras can even use their pan-tilt functions to follow moving targets.
Installing a camera which can be controlled from a DVR or remote location enables a user to cover a much larger area with a single camera.
OUTDOOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SECURITY CAMERAS
Outdoor security cameras are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. Camera housings may be designed for wide ranges of temperature, humidity, precipitation, sunlight, or dust and could include such features as a window defroster, sun shroud, thermal insulation, vandal proofing.
Outdoor cameras may be PTZ, Day/Night, and Infrared cameras.
Outdoor cameras have many uses: monitoring loading docks, entry gates, back yards, storage yards, warehouse aisles, children's play areas, and construction projects to mention a few.
INFRARED VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SECRITY CAMERAS
Infrared cameras, use an infrared source near the camera lens to illuminate the area with infrared light, which is not detectable by the human eye. This allows the night vision camera to see in conditions with no light at all, such as inside dark offices at night. With just a slight amount of normal light, an infrared camera can take a picture that looks as good as in daytime.
IR cameras give a clear image at night or in low-light situations. They will change from Color during the day to Black and White when the lighting is low. These cameras will automatically change to give you the best picture.
​
NIGHT VISION
VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
SECURITY CAMERAS
Night vision cameras produce clear images in the darkest of nights through a combination of two approaches: sufficient spectral range, and sufficient intensity range.
Enhanced spectral range allows the viewer to take advantage of non-visible sources of electromagnetic radiation (such as near-infrared or ultraviolet radiation).
Thermal imaging cameras are excellent tools for night vision. Contrary to other technologies they do not need any light at all to produce a clear image.
Enhanced intensity range is achieved via technological means through the use of an image intensifier, gain multiplication CCD, or other very low-noise and high-sensitivity array of photodetectors.
A night vision camera does not need any light whatsoever to operate and can also see through light fog and smoke, producing crisp images in practically all weather conditions.
COVERT VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SECURITY CAMERAS
Covert security surveillance cameras are built into everyday household/office items, can be wired or wireless, black & white or color, and include motion activation. Cameras may be hidden or disguised as sprinkler heads, smoke dectectors, clocks, exit signs, motion detectors, light bulbs, speakers, air filters... anything.
