DIGITAL
IP CAMERAS

IP CCTV solutions can be integrated into access control, security and intercom systems for your Business.

When you use Internet Protocol (IP) for transmission of video signals you open the door for increased efficiency in video surveillance. Additionally it reduces the costs and space required for cabling – particularly in larger setups.

If you are centralizing operations in your business, your cameras may be left further away from their centre of operations. Only LANs and WANs can cover these distances economically. In new constructions, for example, it is estimated that you could save between 50 to 60% in costs by laying down twisted-pair LAN cables compared to analogue systems.

Here are some other important reasons for choosing IP Video:

Scalability and flexibility: the amount of cameras you can add into an IP video system is unlimited.

Camera functionality: CCTV over IP allows ‘intelligent’ functionality to be embedded within the camera – including motion detection, Intelligent Video Analysis, sensor input, relay output and alarm triggering. Dedicated IP cameras with progressive imaging and megapixel resolution also overcome the limitations of PAL/NTSC.

Cost-effective infrastructure: existing twisted-pair LAN or Internet cabling can be used. Even if installing a new infrastructure, twisted-pair cabling is much less expensive than coax.

Open standards: global standards used in IT infrastructures allow cost savings through use of open system components and interoperability with other networks, including compression and wireless connectivity technologies.

Network functionality provides optimal accessibility and cost saving: one network can transmit video, audio and data with remote and shared availability through wired and wireless connections. In addition to multiple video signals, commands for PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) cameras can be transmitted via the same cabling.

Easy integration with other security systems: video surveillance can also be integrated with other systems and functions such as access control, alarm systems, building management and traffic management.

Future-proof installations: users remain up-to-date with the latest developments thanks to field-upgradeable products allowing firmware to be updated over the network.

Reliability: maximum reliability is assured through infrastructure and management software that provides real-time health status of the entire network and preventive maintenance.

Accessibility: real-time or recorded images can be accessed from any location where network or internet access is available, providing further convenience and cost savings.
