What is the main reason you want a CCTV system at your home or work?
Must it work for you or do you want to do all the work?
Now, we can start to build a system that will fit your needs...
Some of you would have said “to feel more safe at your home” other would have said “to see what is happening when you’re not at home” or “to see who is at home”. Business would maybe say “I would like to see what happens when I where away” or who is the person that took my sugar when I was out” and as you get older… “where did I put my car keys again”
But is actual fact is that we all have the same thing in common and that is to create an area that we feel safe and to see the person that is not supposed to be there.
Our story
About the systems
There are so many types of systems out there, depending on what you would like to achieve with your system, we will design it to your needs with optimal camera placement.
YES, we do not do CCTV kits, we design the system to your needs.
So to start off we are going to give you some information about the type of system from old Analog Camera systems to the new HD Analog systems or IP Camera systems. But let’s start with the first main key factor that everybody would like to know and that is…
“Would I be able to see the cameras on your cell phone?”
YES, but this would depend on your internet connection and your internet connection would then determine the quality of your system to the outside world. Lately, all Recording devices do have an APP’s, Website or VMS Software that you would be able to access your cameras remotely. Depending on the type system you would even be able to manage every camera independently remotely.
With all the recording systems you will get notifications to your phone, but this can sometimes drive you crazy. With the more high-end systems, there will be fewer notifications because of the false alarm filters, but you will also be able to get notifications about humans or vehicles only and this depends on the correct installation of the camera with its limitations.
How many cameras do you need at your site?
This all depend on your site. Some places you can get away with only two cameras, other you gone need more cameras.
To start, you can start with just one camera that can record and send notification almost everything that a complete Digital(IP) system does. That system will be a Digital(IP) camera system when starting to expand in the further, but it is the more expensive type of system but with much, much, much more features. Or you can start with and Analog system that is a more affordable type of system, but also with more limitations. With analogue system you can also start with one camera, but you will need an DVR (Digital Video Recorder) to view the cameras and there you must start with the correct size of DVR channels. With Digital system you get NVR (Network Video Recorder) that is used for viewing on screen, the NVR also have channels that can also be a limitation for your final system. There are also systems out there that we call an HVR (Hybrid video recorder). On this type of system, you can have Digital and Analogue cameras, but again with limitations.
When selecting the size of DVR/NVR or Hybrid system, we would advise to go bigger that what you originally required so that you can expand the system when needed.
There is always a spot that you missed.
Now that we have opened the box of worms when it comes to the type systems here are a short summary of the different systems.

Cameras Selection
Making the Selection
Now that you have decided on the type of system, we need to help you deciding on what is the correct cameras for your site. That is where we come in with our expertise and your needs to giving your insight on where you would like to place a camera and if it will do what you need it to do.
Some ideas for placement of cameras
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.
Type of cameras
There are so many type of cameras out there and having the right camera for the right job will make or break a system. With Artificial Intelligent now days you can get a system that will show you a colour picture with human or vehicle detection. But all of this cameras need to be installed correctly to minimise the false alarms. We call these type of systems as an Active type of system. Something that notify you or your security company of and active threat.
Yes, You can install any camera
Yes, you can install any camera any ware with any lens and will be able to see something still, but that type of system we will call a passive type of system just to view what have happened or what is happening at the time. Depending on the cameras that have been installed and placement, you would maybe not see what have or is happening at the moment.
Site inspection and layout
This all being the reason we would like to first do a site inspection so that we and assist you with the correct placement of your cameras and selecting the correct camera for the layout and application.
