Locally adjustable Camera
We supply this camera with an adjustable lens. This we have chosen as our “standard” camera for use in Viewing Facilities etc.
The main reasons being its size and specification. A short body like this is ideal where there is a slopping ceiling and the other advantage is that it takes up approximately the same mounting area as a dome – but with an improvement in specification and with a suitable bracket clients can adjust the view to suit.
The Super High Resolution Digital Day/Night Short Bodied Camera with DNR. Line resolution of 540TVL using a 1/3" Sony CCD, with a low light level of 0.002 Lux. DC supply of 12V DC 160mA.

The camera has many advanced features including a digital slow shutter function for extremely low lux operation and a fully adjustable white balance function, these and other options are set-up in the on screen display.
These days PTZ Dome camera’s are neat and unobtrusive, with something like this we could in fact recess it into the ceiling leaving only the dome showing.
High Speed Dome Controllers
Mini speed dome controller with keyboard and joystick, intended for low use applications. Provides all the functions of a more expensive controller, with the ability to program presets and camera settings using the on screen display.
Speed dome controller with keyboard and 3D joystick. The joystick controls zoom in and out as well as direction. Intended for heavy use applications.

This 360 Degree IP Camera has no moving parts, has built in Virtual PTZ, Auto Pan and Privacy Mask.
The camera also features Visual Automation, Tampering Alarm, Built in Microphone and Speaker and Micro SD slot.
PIP – Picture In Picture.
This is normally used along with a PTZ Dome Camera but need not be.
As a rule one small picture within the main one.
If you were to use a PTZ then the smaller picture as a rule is used as reference to the PTZ one.
Digital Video Recorder’s
The entry level stand alone unit is 4 way, then 8, then 16, up to a 32 way unit.
A four channel digital video recorder uses H.264 compression onto SATA hard drives with 250GB, 500GB and 1Tbt options.
These days these offer mobile phone connectivity enabling you to view your DVR on your mobile phone or PC’s browser. A Broadband link is needed,
Digital Video Recorder’s
NVR – Network Video Recorder
This is one end of the NVR specification. It is a light-weight and an ultra-slim NVR system, which you can record video files directly to the internal hard drive. Exclusively designed for IP cameras for networking surveillance. The System supports a plug and play function to connect up to 4 cameras automatically. This is an ideal NVR system for small business or retail stores.
Its six USB 2.0 ports enable to connect with multiple peripheral devices, such as USB HDD, USB DVD player and etc. Its Gigabit Ethernet function enables high-speed Internet access for seamless Web browsing. Moreover, our VESA mounting solution allows you to mount the ultra-slim unit on the back of a computer monitor.
This is a Hot Swap DVR System which features a powerful data storage capacity. It comes with a selection of 2, 4, 8, or 20 bays via hot-swappable SATA mobile racks. Depending on HDD size it can reach the maximum storage capacity of 30 terabytes. Support for hot-swapping makes data storage and management more convenient.
It has a maximum of 32 audio and video channels, and a recording rate of up to 960 FPS (NTSC) / 800 FPS (PAL). Its networking capability makes the remote access and control of the system possible.
Remote Access to DVR’s and NVR’s
We can offer remote access of your system either via your browser or a dedicated program.
External Site Boundary System
This as site we did is a ½ mile from the main factory that stored LPG tanks. Four such Poles will cover any “square” site, the camera on top of this particular pole is focused in onto the entry. The devices half way up the pole are so called curtain movement detectors – a narrow coverage along the fence.
Analogue SD-HD, HD-SDI/CVI, IP, AHD, HD-TVI,
Analogue SD-HD
Standard Definition: Low Cost
Analog cameras shoot in Standard Definition and are the lowest cost systems on the market, but they cannot do HD recording. Standard Definition cameras use Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) technology, but this can sometimes be confusing as people often say "CCTV," as a synonym to the word "surveillance" and not as the specific closed caption technology for which it abbreviates. Standard Definition cameras connect via BNC Coax cable.
HD-SDI/CVI
HD stands for High Definition, and SDI stands for Serial Digital Interface – a family of standardised, broadcast quality digital interfaces using BNC connectors. The standard was developed by the BBC to enable them to use the existing cabling around the old Television Centre and is still used by both the BBC & Sky. It has been adopted by the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).
Because of its origins in broadcast, the definition and picture quality of HD-SDI footage is noticeably higher than a standard analogue signal. Because it has been designed with the sole purpose of providing Megapixel, High Definition footage over standard co-ax cable, it is perfectly suited to usage where the majority of existing systems use co-ax cables.
IP
IP Cameras (aka Network Cameras): Digital, HD, and Interoperability
The industry is transitioning to IP cameras and they are the most advanced. IP has a whole host of interesting tricks such as not needing to be directly wired to your recording device - as long as your NVR and cameras are connected to your computer network, they will be able to talk with each other. IP also can connect to third-party video analytic software providers that can do license plate OCR reading and database access, facial recognition, missing object or extra object detection, threat detection, retail traffic flow pattern prediction, and many others.
IP systems and cameras can also talk with other digital devices such as digital alarm systems, POS systems, lighting systems and many other devices as long as those devices support talk-back too.
AHD
AHD CCTV is an analogue high definition closed-circuit television video surveillance standard that uses coax cable to transmit HD video from security cameras to DVRs. AHD supports 720p and 1080p HD video resolutions
AHD CCTV cameras are connected to DVRs using the same type of coaxial cable as traditional analogue CCTV cameras , typically RG59 or RG6 coax cable.
So far in our experience we can reliably use RG69 coax cable up to a max distance of 800 feet for AHD cameras. AHD cameras can also use UTP cable with video baluns to run cable up to 320 Meters / 960 feet with CAT5 cable.
HD-TVI
HD-TVI uses the same cable as Analogue (BNC Coax), and is backwards compatible with analogue.
If you replace your analogue DVR with a HD-TVI DVR, all your old analogue cameras will still work (but still will be analogue quality).
You can then selectively add TVI cameras in either 720P or 1080P. You not only can keep your old cables, you can even use your old analogue cameras as you transition to HD.
If you have an analogue DVR and need to add a camera, you can use a TVI camera. It will only record in analogue (because that's all the recorder can do), but when you replace your DVR with a TVI DVR, you will be able to record in HD for the TVI cameras.
