IP Security Cameras – A Wise Security Option

Monday, December 21st, 2009

As opposed to earlier days, CCTV cameras have come to be one of the top security options, even for home surveillance. However, despite the growing popularity of CCTV systems, it is seen that people have a general reluctance when it comes to going for the IP Internet Protocol security cameras. Many have a misleading notion that the IP cameras come with a heavy price tag and are difficult to use. The fact is these are much more cost efficient than the analogue models and are easy to use if you have the most rudimentary capacity for using simple technology.

One of the most superior features of the ‘Intelligent’ IP cameras is its ability to analyse events in real-time. They are capable of alerting you in case of suspicious events and are at the same time ‘intelligent enough’ to identify when some seemingly suspicious move is not worth troubling you about. The resolution of the IP security cameras is also much higher and the transmission is much more secure as the signals are encrypted. This also helps to cut the cost on expensive fibre optic cabling.

Moreover, with the IP CCTV security cameras, you need not worry about them becoming obsolete when newer technology surges in, as they can be updated for new features easily. They are a wise security option to invest in, if you are thinking of a long-term, sophisticated and reliable security system. If you are interested in knowing more about IP CCTV security cameras or CCTV systems, don’t hesitate to contact us at CCTV 4U.

How IR Security Cameras Can Burglar-Proof Your Home

Monday, December 7th, 2009

When you are away on holiday, and you have your security cameras surveying your home day and night, you will be very much at ease as you can keep monitoring your home from wherever you are. If you are a habitual worrier though, you cannot rule out the possibility of what some clever burglar could do on spotting your security cameras watching his every move.

It is with this possibility in view that the IR dome security cameras are made with tough vandal-proof polycarbonate domes that can withstand severe blows. Moreover, the video cables, wiring and Ethernet cables are also protected inside enclosed cabling in the mounting brackets, to save them from the possibility of falling prey to the intruder’s pliers. If you think he still has the option of dealing a good blow at the mounting brackets, you can be assured that your CCTV security cameras will still be safe, recording him in the act and even have raised alarm in the mean time as the brackets are equipped to withstand a force of up to 5 tonnes!

Moreover, if you have installed covert IR CCTV security cameras, you can very well have it properly camouflaged as the IR radiations are not visible to the normal eye. If you have your IR security camera quietly watching over your home, you can just lie back and enjoy your holiday in peace.

If you feel you need one for your home, you could just go through our CCTV 4U online catalogue.

Security cameras are a good crime fighting tool

Monday, July 27th, 2009

CCTV security cameras are helping to reduce crime and protect your assets. Workers and family are safe and protected and with the help of 21st century technology.  Our security cameras, when installed in the right places, are helping to deter criminal behaviour as they have the ability to not only expose crimes in progress but because of their presence can prevent crimes from taking place in the first place.

Security cameras offer a high level of security

Today many home or business owners are considering extra security measures and security cameras fit the bill because of their monitoring and recording abilities, especially when placed outdoors in areas which are considered ‘weak’ points. We offer security cameras available in a wide variety of styles, sizes and models and with special housings and brackets it is easy to optimise each camera to suit individual needs, in fact it is possible to install security cameras that cannot be detected.

We offer many options in security cameras yet wireless models seem to be most popular as they allow installation without having to run easily detectable wiring, a sure giveaway to any criminal. Once installed, your security cameras can be hooked up to a monitoring device such as a TV which will allow you to monitor your property in real-time. However you may want to take it one step further and if you need to record what is happening you can save the information to either a digital tape or straight onto your computer hard drive.

If you want to add a higher level of security, we offer security cameras that allow remote access, so you can monitor your property from anywhere in the world at any time of the day or night.

Infrared or motion detection security cameras

Monday, July 13th, 2009

One of the biggest problems we face in security monitoring is the ability to see what is happening in and around our property or building at night as it is sometimes not feasible to install lighting systems. This is where infrared security cameras come to the fore. Infrared security systems cuts through the dark and allow us to ‘see’ what is happening and they do this courtesy of heat which in turn transmits light in the infrared part of the spectrum which would otherwise be invisible to the human eye.

We offer a wide range of infrared security cameras at CCTV 4U as this type of security camera is perfect for capturing the actions of criminals who are unaware that they are being ‘watched’. This type of security camera is a good tool that has the ability to complete any existing security systems.

Motion detection security cameras

Anyone who has had to wade through hours and hours of surveillance tapes looking for a particular incident will attest to the vast advantages of motion detection security cameras. Motion detection security cameras only become active when there is movement. This saves a lot of disk storage space and with recordings being dated and time stamped, it means looking for something specific is much easier when playing footage back. On top of that motion detection cameras can be disguised so that they cannot be seen, which makes them a perfect security tool capable of servicing a vast range of applications.
