CCTV & video surveillance systems
Video surveillance systems support continuous visual monitoring, event review and improved visibility across selected areas of a facility.
Visibility
See what the facility needs seen.
Surveillance gives a facility eyes where it needs them: live visibility across selected areas, and a recorded record when an event needs to be reviewed after the fact.
Camera type, positioning, recording and storage requirements depend on the facility and surveillance objective — the system is designed around what needs to be seen, not the other way round.
-
View
Cameras observe the selected areas.
-
Transmit
Video travels over the system's network.
-
Record
Recording equipment stores the footage.
-
Review
Live viewing and event review.
System architecture varies by equipment and project design.
System Elements
What a surveillance system involves.
-
01
Cameras
Indoor and outdoor camera types positioned for the areas the facility needs to see — including arrangements for night visibility where the requirement calls for them.
-
02
Network
IP-based surveillance carries camera video over the facility's network arrangement, per the system design.
-
03
Recording
Recording equipment (such as network video recorders) stores footage for later review, sized per the requirement.
-
04
Viewing
Live and recorded footage is viewed at the positions the facility defines — locally, and remotely where the system design provides for it.
Coverage Assessment
Coverage is mapped, not guessed.
A surveillance survey walks the facility and maps what needs visibility: entrances, circulation, external zones, service areas and restricted rooms. Camera positions follow from that map.
Design-Dependent
Architecture follows the requirement.
Network arrangements, recording capacity and viewing positions vary by equipment and requirement — no two facilities carry the same surveillance architecture.
Our Approach
Assess. Specify. Install. Support.
-
01
Assess
We begin by understanding the facility, the requirement and the protection need.
-
02
Specify
We identify the equipment or system appropriate to the application.
-
03
Install
We supply and implement the agreed solution.
-
04
Support
We provide servicing, maintenance and technical support where required.
Support
Cameras that keep seeing.
Surveillance systems need configuration and upkeep — cameras, recording equipment and viewing arrangements are maintained and supported per the installed system and requirement.
Application Contexts
- Entrances, receptions and circulation areas
- Perimeter and external zones
- Service, storage and delivery areas
- Controlled rooms and restricted areas
CCTV questions.
What is a CCTV surveillance system?
A system of cameras, network, recording and viewing arrangements that supports continuous visual monitoring, event review and improved visibility across selected areas of a facility.
What is the difference between camera viewing and recording?
Viewing is watching camera video live; recording stores that video so events can be reviewed afterwards. Most systems provide both — how footage is stored and for how long depends on the facility and surveillance objective.
How are CCTV system requirements determined?
Through a site survey. Camera type, positioning, recording and storage requirements depend on the facility and surveillance objective — the areas to cover, the visibility needed and how footage will be used.
