Video Surveillance

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

Our experts provide a comprehensive project assessment to determine your property's needs and work with you  to design a security camera solution together.

The design of video surveillance systems is a key element in achieving the desired goals and a high degree of efficiency.

The right selection of video surveillance equipment such as cameras, lenses, DVR system, technology (conventional or megapixel) are the basis for the successful implementation of the project.

We can conduct a remote walkthrough of your building using drawings/plans, digital photos,
sketches and even online satellite images.

This FREE service we provide gives our design team a clear view of your building.

 Video surveillance systems have become relevant in the last thirty years due to the increased incidence of robberies and break-ins in various commercial and residential buildings ( apartment, office, parking lot, house, shop ). Innovations in the field have also developed and the use of such technologies has saved millions in losses, making the investment truly worthwhile.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW BEFORE INSTALLING CAMERAS?

  To begin with, determine the goals and tasks to be performed. By answering these questions, it will be much easier for you to choose the right equipment and its effectiveness. The more common needs are for detecting illegal activities and controlling whether employees are working, for spying on various areas and homes. Be aware of whether the monitoring will be external or internal? Based on this, the type of cameras used (tvi, ahd, cvi, dome, spy, megapixel, waterproof, varifocal, etc.), their resolution and according to the specifics of the area and their number will be determined. It is important to be aware of how long you want the archives to be stored in the DVR device. This will make it easier to predict the required memory capacity. Wired or wireless installations? In case the room has been renovated, it is not advisable to make a channel in the wall for wiring and the second option is the more cost-effective. Hidden or open? There are individual types for both cases. Do you want a remote connection to the equipment? Such an extra does not oblige you to be constantly at the monitor to see what is happening in the object, and the distance does not matter because you use the Internet connection of a phone, tablet, computer, laptop. Day or night security? If the given area requires 24/7 recording of what is happening, it is necessary to use infrared cameras to “see” in complete darkness. Resolution is also of key importance for the effectiveness of the implementation. If you want a high-quality and detailed image or a greater magnification, high-resolution (at least Full HD) shooting equipment is a good solution. WHERE CAN WE PLACE THE SURVEILLANCE DEVICES?

  Usually, when it comes to outdoor placement and determining the location of individual devices, the goal is to achieve maximum long-range visibility, complete coverage of the perimeter and avoiding “ dead invisible zones ”. Often, visibility is limited due to atmospheric conditions - fog, snowfall, etc. The range in such cases is limited to 60-70 meters. The most suitable option is to place the modules one behind the other every 25-30 meters. Also, keep in mind that direct lighting against the lens during shooting will greatly degrade the shooting function and the final image, especially in dark conditions. In such cases, the presence of the HLC (High Light Compensation) and WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) functions is necessary. WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO BUILD SECURITY AND CONTROL SYSTEMS?

Such an installation, designed by non-professionals, will provide a low level of efficiency, and the risk of penetration is very high. As in all areas, here too there are specifics and they must be precisely observed. It is necessary to carefully inspect the area and calculate the number of cameras and other elements - DVRs, sets of high-speed and power cables, monitors, sockets, connectors, converters, protection, adapters, etc. Then, the locations for storing the equipment are determined. It is recommended that they be discreetly hidden so that the information remains as confidential as possible, and that the backups be stored in a “cloud” or remote location. The next stage is the laying of the cable routes for the video signal, where they must pass at least 30-40 cm away from the power ones to avoid interference. All individual components are installed and the power supply is checked, and then the process of testing and adjusting the angle of inclination follows to avoid “invisible” zones. The entire installation with its individual components is specially adapted to each other and does not require specific maintenance and management after their initial configuration. And the use is significantly simplified and requires basic computer knowledge.
