Analog cameras transmit video over coaxial cable to a DVR. IP cameras transmit digital video over Cat5e/6 to an NVR or VMS — offering far higher resolution, remote access, analytics, and scalability. For any new installation we exclusively install IP-based systems.
Storage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, compression codec, and motion-vs-continuous recording. A rough estimate: 4K cameras at H.265 continuous recording use approximately 100–150GB per camera per month. We calculate exact storage for your configuration and include it in the system design.
Yes — we work in active environments regularly, including hospitals, retail stores, and 24/7 warehouses. Critical infrastructure work is scheduled after hours when needed.
Yes. Most enterprise VMS platforms (Milestone, Genetec, Avigilon) natively integrate with major access control systems. Camera events can trigger on door access, and access events can pull associated camera footage automatically.
Yes — outdoor cameras require IP66/IP67 weather-rated housings, appropriate IR range for the coverage distance, and vandal-resistant mounting. We spec and install exterior cameras for parking structures, perimeter fence lines, and building exteriors.
