IP CCTV and IP cameras are now much more than a simple deterrent, as today’s leading technology offers much more than the norm of fixed image recording. Providing greater protection for your premises, employees/customers, and assets.
The technology in use has evolved massively over the last 2 years with the electronic security industry witnessing particularly high growth, now allowing for a higher level of security at a more affordable price. The improvement in this technology now allows for a range of new features:
Networked video recording systems now have features including:
High-performance HD outdoor PTZ dome camera with integrated IR illumination for scenes with low or no ambient lighting
1/2.8’’ Progressive Scan CMOS, up to 1920x1080. Smart Tracking, Smart Defog, Smart IR, 150m IR distance. 30X Optical Zoom and IP66 rating
A compact pan/tilt/zoom camera that enables users to pan 360° for overview surveillance and zoom 12x with autofocus for detailed views. It provides HDTV resolution up to 720p at 50/60 fps frame rate. Day/night functionality ensures maintained image quality even in low light conditions.
The SNO-L6083R delivers 2 megapixel FullHD video in an outdoor bullet camera. IR LEDs allow visibility in total darkness up to 20 meters. The 2.8-12mm varifocal lens provides a wide range of installation environments. The camera also conforms to IP66 and IK10 ratings for weather/dust proofing and vandal impact rating.
The RV30 (1080p/720p) rugged PTZ and dome series is a high-quality, Full HD, IP camera range. It is designed and manufactured in the UK by Redvision and is ideally suited to tough, outdoor surveillance applications.
Featuring a 30x optical zoom camera and a very responsive, full pan/tilt range of +36° to -85° from horizontal, Esprit HD is an ideal solution when rugged environmental performance and excellent image quality are mission critical.
From our head office in Warrington, Protive supply and install CCTV throughout Warrington, the North West and the UK. Our expert engineers have installed CCTV at everything from small residential properties that use 3 cameras, through to large industrial and commercial sites that require hundreds of cameras connected to a complete security solution.
The required CCTV system might need to simply cover a drive-way or doorway, or the site might need a combination of ANPR, Facial Recognition and motion tracking. Whether you’re based in Warrington, Cheshire or any other part of the UK, we can design a system to match your security requirements, ensuring that not only does it act as a deterrent but is an effective way of recording a high definition video of the areas you need to protect.
Our CCTV systems can use video analytics to enable complex rules to be added, generating custom alarms. These events are highly customisable and allow us to tailor your security system to fit your specific requirements.
Objects can be monitored so that if they are removed, or not in the expected position it will trigger an alert. They can also generate alarms/recordings, or fire triggers based on the direction in which an object travels in or the colour of an object. The system can then be used to record high definition video, and be set up to track things like car number plates using ANPR, or specific people using facial recognition.
We have a wealth of experience in bespoke system design. We’ll use the IP cameras and equipment best suited to your requirements.
We also have a range of options for both maintenance and monitoring. We can ensure your equipment is in good working order and monitored 24/7.
With over 20 years of experience in the business, we have the knowledge and experience to deliver a first-class CCTV solution for you. We work closely with companies like HikVision to provide you with the latest security technology, ensuring you can take advantage of new developments to get complete protection.
Most of the equipment we use is expandable and allows for integration with existing or future systems. As a result, your business and requirements won’t outgrow your security systems, giving you the ability to add or to remove areas or equipment as required. If your system needs to be expanded or upgraded, you avoid the cost of installing a whole new system.
Choosing a CCTV installer is difficult, often you’re first instinct is to look for the cheapest price with the goal of throwing a few cameras up to provide some basic coverage. The reality is that this almost never provides you with the coverage you need and often leaves you trying to work through a difficult installation and setup process.
CCTV or Closed Circuit TV is a self-contained video surveillance system comprised of a combination of cameras, recording and storage devices and displays, connected wirelessly or via a wired network.
Several leading manufacturers provide products perfect for home CCTV, including Hik-Vision, Hanwha and Redvision. What’s more important is that your home is properly protected. Correct coverage, with smart triggers that know the difference between an intruder and any false alarm.
Prices for CCTV vary based on your requirements but generally start from £500 based on simple 2 camera system with a professional installation but the price can vary based on your requirements.
The number of cameras, whether they are remotely monitored, on-site storage and the level of functionality can all increase the cost.
Legally, you do not require planning permission from your local authority to install CCTV cameras to help protect your home.
There may be some restrictions if you live in a listed building or within a conservation area, where things like appearance, location and mountings can take on additional importance.
The answer depends on the type of security system you are using, many home CCTV systems are connected to mains power providing reliable coverage whenever power is available. Often these systems incorporate back up battery power that can operate in the event of a power cut.
Some models are designed to work on battery power alone, activating only when triggered by some form of sensor, limiting power usage by reducing the frequency of usage to critical events.
Some newer models also use solar panels combined with batteries to provide non-stop coverage.
IP CCTV cameras can still provide full video surveillance without any access to the internet. If you’re situated in off-grid places like your remote farm, cabin, rural home, and other areas without Internet or WiFi connection. You can get local recording even your security cameras have no Internet access.
