Ready for a cutting-edge security camera system?

Keep eyes on your assets!

It used to be that security cameras were mostly meant to deter, or at least help identify, threats within your facility. That’s still a valuable benefit, but today’s systems go much further.

Technology has improved dramatically in recent years, making sophisticated, intelligent security cameras accessible for any small business or commercial need. Night vision, motion sensors, mobile alerts, safety features like smoke or carbon monoxide detection… all are available.

The key is to identify which capabilities are most important to you, then partner with a technology provider that can design and install your ideal security solution.

How does video surveillance protect businesses?

Digging deeper than just security in its classical sense, your new cameras offer several ancillary benefits as well:

Employee protection and monitoring
Increased safety for customers and patrons
Health and safety of your facility
Remote viewing
Increased productivity
Asset protection
Savings on operational costs
Potential for lower insurance premiums
Limiting access to restricted areas
Deterrent for criminal activities

All of this translates to peace of mind for you and your team, greater accountability, plus tangible cost-savings over time.

What kind of security camera do you need for your property?

Outdoor Security Cameras

Ideal for parking lots, dark spaces, or those areas of your facility that are typically out of sight-line. These types of cameras can be set up with additional features, like sensor warning lights, audio, or even a siren. With smart capabilities, you can remotely watch through your camera in real time and activate any features you’d like.

Night Vision

Need to keep an eye on low-light areas, or secure outdoor property around the clock? Night vision cameras have come a long way, with ultra-low-light capabilities that deliver crisp imaging, video, and playback. Color night vision is also available, taking visibility to a whole new level.

Indoor

To keep close tabs on everything that’s happening indoors, choose a camera system that allows for higher resolution imaging, optical zoom, video capture, and mobile features that you can control remotely.

Wireless

That grainy, blurry footage from old security cameras is a thing of the past if you invest in the right system. Today’s Internet Protocol (IP) cameras can shoot high-resolution footage, have a wider field of vision, optical zoom, and offer special features that analogue security cameras aren’t capable of. Better resolution (up to 5 megapixels, vs one-half megapixel on analogue), power over Ethernet (PoE) switches that power and run data from the camera, Network Video Recording, video analytics, and much more are all possible with the right wireless setup.

Video surveillance FAQ

How long does footage stay on-camera?

How do you store security camera footage?

You have two primary options: local (on-site) or cloud-based. Local video storage refers to files saved on a hard drive, or saved to central NVR or DVR storage. On the other hand, you can save these files to a cloud-based surveillance storage system. As a best-of-both-worlds approach, you can also utilize hybrid storage, saving some portions locally and other portions to the cloud. This is a very reliable option, and requires less bandwidth than strictly cloud-based storage. As another benefit, if there’s a temporary network outage, you’ll still be able to view your footage.

What’s the difference between DVR and NVR surveillance video systems?

DVR (digital video recorders) refers to video files received directly from analogue video cameras via coaxial cables. NVR (network video recorders) receive files from digital (Internet Protocol) cameras, streamed wirelessly or via an ethernet cable. Which should you choose? Well, there are pros and cons to both. DVR systems tend to be cheaper and simpler, but they’re also analogue and much lower resolution. NVR is more sophisticated and expensive, but you get higher-quality footage and more options for managing and storing digital files. Additionally, NVRs in many cases can be easier to deploy and manage as part of your Local Area Network (LAN).

How do I choose the right business security cameras and system?

How much do commercial security cameras cost?

The prices vary drastically depending on the scope, hardware manufacturer, and sophistication of the system you need. A basic DVR setup with just a few cameras and low resolution can be purchased relatively inexpensively, while a complex, high-resolution NVR system can be a substantial investment. It’s important to really understand and weigh your options; investing in the right system can provide long-term cost savings and better value.
