I’ve just been playing with the new iPhone client for our surveillance system, powered by GeoVision software!
It’s what you’d expect from an iPhone app; Slick looking with the ability to move your fingers in all directions to flick through your cameras and even move and zoom in your PTZs!
The new generation of CCTV Technology, IP Cameras, are beginning to flex their ‘megapixel muscles’ and many of us are gasping in amazement at the new image quality and the fact that these cameras can produce many millions of pixels (compared to say 400,000 pixels an analogue camera might produce).
But what about the analogue cctv technology?
Will the battle to provide more and more pixels on a camera stop the enhancements still possible in analogue technology and what about the millions of legacy cctv installs that are currently running on Coaxial Cable?
Security Systems and there uses are extremely far reaching nowadays.
CCTV solutions come in a variety of options depending on the budget, features and functionality required and include:
But one thing that all digital security products have in common is their requirement for Video Compression. Read more…
It’s easy to get confused with the various video resolutions touted by different manufacturers and providers of Digital Surveillance and IP CCTV systems.
And now, with the Mega Pixel resolution IP Cameras becoming more and more common place, it’s more important than ever.
So here’s a quick reference guide which should help:
ezCCTV hosted their latest open day seminars on March 10th and 11th 2009.
The two day event brought together new and existing customers to the ezCCTV head office in Hertfordshire.
The event was designed to show customers the latest advances in the ezVision Surveillance systems from ezCCTV, which are powered by GeoVision software.
New enhancements included:
CCTV Installation and Image capture in Winter is the most challenging time of the year.
This is when CCTV Cameras are really put to the test. With freezing temperatures, bright low sunlight causing glare, shorter daylight hours and heavy rain, snow and ice – this is often the time when people find out if they really got the right camera for the job!
A CCTV Camera is not just for summer!
It’s important to think of the job the camera has to do throughout the year!
It’s all very well capturing people’s faces or licence plates in the summer but when it’s dark at 4pm and you have no external lighting or Infra Red/White Illumination, you suddenly have a camera that is not fit for the environment it is in.
Christmas is coming!
A time for giving and sharing but what about the excess drinking, vandalism, trespassing and general crime increases? For a lot of businesses, Christmas is a serious security concern which must be addressed and at no time is the CCTV System more important.
With a skeleton staff or no staff at all, the Christmas holiday period leaves many businesses open to criminal damage, trespass and robbery.
An option that more and more businesses are using for out of ours or holiday periods is Remote Video Monitoring.

With banks dropping like flies and being bailed out by our government, house prices falling but no one being able to get a decent mortgage and the economy now effectively in a recession what, if any, impact might this have on the CCTV industry?
At first thought you might think: if everyone is ‘tightening their belts’ the first thing to be scrapped from the spending list would be the new/upgraded security system, but is this really the case?
