Video Surveillance

Video Surveillance Equipment in Central Washington

Don’t worry about who is wandering around your business or home when you aren’t around. Or worse, when you are around. We have surveillance cameras and other equipment to give you peace of mind.

IP, Coax Cameras

Analog
A single coax cable is used to get the video out of the CCTV camera into a recording and display device. To maintain compatibility with analog televisions (and hence make it easier to use off-the-shelf products for display and recording), the camera’s signal complies with broadcast television standards.

IP Cameras and HD Megapixel
An IP/HD camera has an image sensor, much like the analog camera. However, once it has captured its image, it transmits as “data” over the cable. That data is in the form of compressed video frames sent over standardized networking protocol, a low-level language used to transmit data between computers in your home and the Internet. 
What this implies, then, is that the IP/HD camera is like a little computer that you connect to and access your video.
The extra resolution allows zoom in significantly more without turning the image soft and fuzzy. This can help find small details like a license plate number.

Pan Tilt Zoom Cameras

An innovation to the Pan Tilt Zoom Camera is a built-in firmware program that monitors the change of pixels. When the pixels change due to movement in the camera’s field of view, the camera can focus on the movement and center on the pixel variation.
The program allows the camera to estimate the object’s size and distance of the movement from the camera. With this estimate, the camera can adjust the optical lens in and out to stabilize the size of pixel fluctuation as a percentage of the total viewing area. Once the movement exits the camera's field of view, the camera returns to a pre-programmed or "parked" position.

Indoor, Outdoor, and Harsh Environment

Indoor cameras are designed for an office or other indoor commercial area. They are usually made with a metallic or plastic cover.
Outdoor cameras are protected with environment-proof casings and are more suitable to withstand harsh outdoor environments.

Day or Night

Cameras use light for capturing and storing video images. Night mode cameras use infrared to capture images of the object in the darkness. While the infrared mode works in pitch dark, the image is limited and comes back in black and white.

Hidden Covert

A hidden camera or spy camera is used to film people without their knowledge. The camera is "hidden" because it is either not visible or is disguised as another object.

Hidden cameras can be built into commonly used objects such as smoke detectors, clock radios, motion detectors, ball caps, plants, and mobile phones.

Hidden cameras may be used for household surveillance and may also be used commercially or industrially as
security cameras. The proliferation and lower costs of video recording devices have led to increased use of hidden cameras for legitimate surveillance needs.

Smart Phone, Android, iPhone, Remote Monitoring

Remote monitoring can be accomplished with most compatible Android, iPhone® based smartphones or tablets, along with a High-Speed internet connection at the DVR site and the viewing site.
Using Wifi or your Cell phone’s network lets you keep watch on your assets and employees. This is a quick way to check in when you get that call at 2 am from the alarm company.
