Security Camera Installation

In Sydney alone BOCSAR (the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research) states that: 1 in 4 homes have been burgled when homeowners have been at home, and that 1.5% of Sydney households have had an attempted break-in.

With strategic planning, security cameras (also called CCTV or closed circuit security cameras) can be placed around your home to discourage unwanted criminals and reduce the risk of a break in by up to 95%.

Crime Prevention – The primary benefit of installing a CCTV system for your home or business. Aside from being able to monitor your property, security cameras are an excellent way of scaring off would-be criminals. Just like seeing a home alarm system, a potential intruder looking at a security camera may decide it is easier and safer to look for a target elsewhere.

Insurance Deductions – While the financial benefit should never be your number one priority when installing a CCTV system, it is certainly an added bonus that can make installing a security system more feasible. When accessing your insurance policy the security systems in your home will be a large influence on the amount of your premium.

Identifying Criminals – If a crime occurs on your property, prosecutors have a greater chance of convicting criminals if security cameras have been installed on your property. Suspects can easily be identified and the CCTV footage is compelling evidence for the courts.

Cost Effective – In the last 2 years installations of CCTV systems have tripled and when demand is high prices will decrease. With so many brands to choose from, and so much competition within the industry, security systems have found a place in the residential market and have become an affordable and effective tool against crime within the community.

User Friendly – Once your camera system has been installed there is nothing else for you to do. The security system will be on continuous record and the only real thing you would need to worry about, is playback, this will allow you to watch over criminal activity, if it had taken place on a previous night.

Keep an Eye on Your Pets – What do your pets get up to when your out and about. Why not get rid of the pet carer and use your camera system to watch over your pet. We can even install audible cameras fitted with speakers so you can communicate with your pet. Even telling your dog to stop barking when causing annoyance to the neighbours.

Here’s why: An IP (Internet Protocol) camera is a type of digital camera that is used for security surveillance systems and uses an internet based connection in order to store data (footage) that it records. IP cameras have the ability to act as a computer and camera combined, so they don’t need a direct connection to your PC.

The images from your cameras can be viewed from anywhere in the world via the internet through a PC, laptop or mobile phone. Depending on the type of camera it can also be remotely controlled or listened to if the unit has audio streaming capability.

An IP camera can power and transmit video over a single cable called CAT 5e or CAT 6, compared to an analog camera using coaxial cable and a separate electrical cable to provide power to the unit.

When it come to Picture Quality the analog at its best could not handle the picture efficiency of the poorest IP camera. The IP camera has 6 to 20 times higher a resolution than the analog camera. IP cameras offer resolutions that can range from 1.3 megapixels to 4k and offer more video site ranges such as wide or narrow field of view. So potentially 1 IP camera can do the job of 3 – 4 analog cameras.

Digital Zoom is another feature of an IP camera which is unavailable in the old analog camera systems. The more pixels you have available in the image the more zoom in capabilities you will have before the image starts to break up. This feature is especially useful when trying to capture peoples faces or read vehicle number plates.

Video Analytics on a IP camera system have far more intelligence than the analog cameras. This basically means that you can set your network to flag events that occur in your cameras field of vision. Features such as motion detection, cross line detection, wide dynamic range and improved low light functionality will allow the camera to make adjustments and to trigger events.
