CCTV/Video Surveillance

Digital video systems enable you to optimize your production and distribution procedures or assist you in analyzing your clientele's purchasing behaviour.

As a general rule, this type of system incorporates cameras arranged in strategic locations to record images for later consultation. An effective system must also be as flexible as it is easy to use and provide excellent quality images, night and day. The images that are captured must, in fact, be able to be analyzed, archived and, if necessary, used as evidence.

Video recordings are secure and can be recognized by the legal system thanks to digital watermark authentication. The CPSA (Content Protection System Architecture) is a comprehensive framework for security and access control through an entire DVD family. It covers encryption, watermarking, analogue and digital output protection, etc.

Chances are you've seen cameras in stores or commercial businesses? Those are CCTV cameras and they record the movements of staff and customers both during and after business hours.

Benefits of having Commercial CCTV/Video Surveillance equipment installed and activated:

  • reduce theft by more than 50%
  • assurance that every movement within key areas of your business premises are being recorded
  • assurance that you are taking measures that will keep your staff and property safe
  • presence of the cameras will deter people from stealing or committing an offence, keeping in mind that 96% of theft is attributed to company employees
  • increase the productivity of your employees because they know they are being filmed
  • cameras are watching and filming both inside and outside of your place of business 24/7
  • if a crime has been committed at your place of business, the recorded footage may lead to a prosecution.

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

Calgary Security Alarms now proposes digital video (DVR) solutions. This technology offers a vast array of advantages compared to conventional systems using videotape recorders.

  • Image and copy quality
    No more VHS tape read and re-read, no more worn-out video recorder heads, no more rapidly deteriorating image quality. With a digital solution, the original quality of the image is 3 times greater and archiving can be done on magnetic tape, CD-ROM or DVD without affecting the quality of the image from one transfer to another.
  • Research time is greatly reduced
    Looking for a particular activity on videotape can take hours and sometimes even days. Analogue searching depends on the attention of the human eye and requires a great deal of time. Digital searches can take just seconds using pixel-based search technology. This is an enormous saving in time and money.
  • Remote TCP/IP access
    The TCP/IP function of digital video systems allows you remote access to recorded information as well as real-time viewing of activity on the premises. In addition, in the event of an alarm, a short video clip can be archived, transmitted to your e-mail or relayed to the Protectron remote video surveillance centre enabling the user to evaluate the situation and the necessary response.
  • Archiving
    Management of stored images is significantly different. For example, access is easier; less deterioration; greater capacity and more reliability.
  • Work time
    Digital surveillance can increase your productivity considerably compared to a conventional system. Replacing cassettes, observing the monitors for incidents and read-back – every day…
  • Digital integration
    Digital video can be easily adapted and merged with other technologies, including biometrics.
