Ethernet based CCTV (Closed Circuit Television Security Cameras) systems are emerging as the new standard in video security. Digital Multiplexers from all the top manufacturers in the CCTV industry are adding Ethernet capabilities to their systems. This feature allows you to monitor your office through the use of your network on any computer that has access to the system, and with the use of VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), you also are able to view your cameras' footage from the comfort of your own home.

Video Security is being used by more and more people each day as a means of keeping track of employees, locations, entryways, etc.. Originally designed to monitor safety concerns, video security is continually evolving making it the ideal solution for many types of businesses and home users. Businesses use video security systems to monitor employees, trigger alerts in case of fire or motion, and to watch over exits and entrances to buildings. Video security is also used in retail and convenience stores to reduce shoplifting and in financial institutions such as banks or jewelry stores as a deterrent to robbery. Parking lots and garages, remote areas on college and university campuses, as well as hospitals are also popular locations for video security systems.

CCTV is becoming more and more common. The advantages of protecting your business premises or private property are obvious. Alspa Consulting supplies the latest CCTV systems using digital-based products to easily record and store footage from the cameras.

• No loss of picture quality over time (unlike video tape)
• A system can be setup to record events only when motion is detected, saving you hours
  of searching through footage to find a single event
• A system can store weeks or months of footage without having to change a single tape
  or otherwise maintain the system
• A system can be configured to send email to a specified location or an SMS to your
  mobile phone (subscription required) when motion is detected within the camera's range
• A system can be remotely viewed if it is connected to a Broadband connection
  (password protection ensures that your system is secure)

The cameras used in a system vary by security needs and requirements, and range from completely discrete units (for covertly monitoring tills and registers) to large external units with built-in Infra Red lights to ensure visibility 24 hours a day.

Our digital CCTV systems are scalable from a simple dual camera system suitable for monitoring your home to an extensive 16-camera system that can be linked to Point Of Sale terminals or set up an entire office monitoring system. If your system requirements demand more than 16 cameras, multiple systems can be linked to provide a network that will operate altogether.
