If you need extra cameras you have the option of upgrading the recorder and additional cameras to HD, whilst still retaining your existing analogue cameras.

The main advance HD CCTV offers over analogue CCTV is the quality and definition of the image. The full HD 1080p recordings offer a far deeper image that is able to provide the clarity required for CCTV to be more effective.

You will find many analogue cameras quoting 600-700 TVL image quality, however most recordings are at far lower resolutions. This means the live images look reasonable but the recording quality is often very poor. The comparison image below shows the difference between the highest quality Analogue CCTV cameras available and our 1080p HD CCTV cameras.

It is also important to ensure all images are recorded at the same definition as the camera, all our systems are configured to record at the same image definition as the camera.

If you have the recording level at lower definition than the camera you will find you have the same issues as mentioned above, great live images but poor recorded footage.

Do to the far more detailed images you will often find that less IP cameras are required to cover larger areas that may have required 3 or analogues cameras, a petrol station forecourt is a good example. One IP camera can often offer coverage of three to four pumps, providing detailed images of vehicle registration numbers and people.

You will find many analogue cameras quoting 600-700 TVL image quality, however most recordings are at far lower resolutions. This means the live images look reasonable but the recording quality is often very poor. The comparison image below shows the various recording resolutions used in CCTV systems. The most common found throughout the UK is CIF, you can see the vast difference in image quality when you look at even the entry level 1.3MP IP cameras.

It is also important to ensure all images are recorded at the same definition as the camera, all our systems are configured to record at the same image definition as the camera.

If you have the recording level at lower definition than the camera you will find you have the same issues as mentioned above, great live images but poor recorded footage.

Implementation for additional health and safety precautions is also becoming a more common occurrence, a good example would be the box/area alarm function. A box can be placed around a machine or other high risk area, if someone enters the box the machine can be shut down and a local alarm sounded, as well as remote alarms within a control room. While this should not replace existing physical and safety precautions it adds another means of preventing an accident.

Another excellent use of this technology allows retailers to asses footfall throughout their shop floor. Helping with tasks as simple as how many customers enter the store and help identify peak times, as well as eliminate dead spots and help drive customers to desired product. All of this can be controlled from the same remote software used to manage the CCTV system, controlling multiple sites from any location.

Filling station forecourts can also benefit from this technology at a surprisingly low price point. Our ANPR system can record 2 lanes of traffic per camera, reducing the total amount of cameras needed. If a vehicle drives off without paying for their fuel, you can enter the registration on to the system. The next time that vehicle enters the forecourt the ANPR system can sound an alarm and allow the assistant to stop the driver pumping any fuel. Alternatively the system can be connected to a shut off switch, automatically stopping the pumps until the matter has been dealt with.

The ANPR system can also be used to record and manage company fleet vehicles, a roll call function can identify which vehicles are on or off the premises at any time.
