IP Security Camera Systems
Network Video Surveillance – High Definition & Smart Features
Leverage the power of your network with our advanced IP camera systems. Offering superior image quality (from Full HD to 4K and beyond), greater scalability, and intelligent features, IP surveillance is the modern standard for robust security. We install a wide array of IP cameras connected to Network Video Recorders (NVRs), providing crisp, clear footage and advanced capabilities like Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified wiring.
Key Benefits of IP Systems:
- Crystal-Clear Resolution: Capture fine details with HD, 4MP, 5MP, 4K (8MP) and higher resolution cameras.
- Advanced Analytics: Utilize smart features like motion detection, intrusion alerts, facial recognition, and line crossing (system dependent).
- Scalability & Flexibility: Easily expand your system by adding more cameras to your network as needed.
- Remote Accessibility: Securely view live and recorded footage from anywhere via desktop or mobile apps.
- Simplified Wiring: Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology often allows for a single cable for both power and data.
Technical Specifications We Handle:
- Camera Types: Dome, Bullet, Turret, PTZ, Fisheye, Multi-Imager.
- Video Compression: H.264, H.265, H.265+ for efficient storage.
- Network Protocols: TCP/IP, ONVIF for interoperability.
- Storage: NVRs with various HDD capacities, RAID options, NAS integration.

Analog & HD-over-Coax CCTV Systems
Cost-Effective Surveillance – Upgrade Existing Coaxial Systems
For clients seeking a cost-effective surveillance solution or looking to upgrade an existing analog system using existing coaxial cabling, our HD-over-Coax (HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD) systems are an excellent choice. These systems can deliver high-definition video (720p, 1080p, and even up to 5MP or 8MP) over traditional coaxial cables, providing a significant improvement in image quality compared to older standard-definition analog cameras. We connect these cameras to Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).
Advantages of HD-over-Coax:
- Cost-Effective Upgrades: Utilize existing coaxial infrastructure, reducing installation costs.
- High Definition Video: Enjoy significantly better image quality than traditional analog.
- Reliable & Simple: Proven technology known for its stability and ease of use.
- Longer Cable Runs: Often supports longer transmission distances over coax compared to some basic IP setups without extenders.
System Components:
- Camera Technologies: HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD.
- DVRs: 4, 8, 16, 32-channel options with H.264/H.265 compression.
- Remote Viewing: Supported through DVR network connection and mobile apps.
Wireless Security Camera Systems
Flexible Installation – Minimal Disruption
When running cables is challenging or not preferred, our wireless security camera systems offer an excellent alternative. We install both Wi-Fi based cameras that connect to your existing network and battery-powered cameras for ultimate placement flexibility. These systems are ideal for residential properties, smaller commercial spaces, or areas where aesthetics are a primary concern.
Why Choose Wireless?
- Easy & Clean Installation: Minimal drilling and wiring reduce installation time and mess.
- Versatile Placement: Install cameras in locations previously inaccessible to wired systems.
- Scalability: Easily add more cameras to expand coverage as needed.
- Smart Features: Many wireless cameras include motion detection, two-way audio, night vision, and mobile app alerts.
Consideration: Wireless systems rely on good Wi-Fi signal strength or battery life. We perform site surveys to ensure reliable connectivity and advise on optimal placement or necessary network enhancements.
Common Applications:
- Residential homes (interior and exterior).
- Rental properties or temporary setups.
- Small offices or retail shops.
- Areas where running new cables is cost-prohibitive.
