Remote Cctv System Design And Connection

Recommended Posts

Has any one ever thought about using an independent consultant to assist in adding more services you supply to your clients ?

As an independent Security Consultant specialising in remote CCTV systems I am able to assist installers and end users take their CCTV systems to the next level. Stand alone CCTV is almost obsolete and remote monitoring is the only way to go. I am not trying to teach anyone to ''suck eggs'' but merely offering support and guidance. check out for more info.

I'm still keen to see some hard stats on what CCTV for a normal business actually achieves.

 

Realtime monitoring (or motion detection from video feeds) isn't much use indoors - conventional intruder alarms are far better and cheaper at finding intruders. Outdoors might be more use, but who is monitoring it? The automated detection isn't great.

 

Then there is after-the-fact recordings... half the time they are totally useless.

I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:

The bigboy retailers find them cost effective and with usable footage.

Really! Some months I sell more stand alone CCTV than alarm systems. Most customers cant afford the CCTV ARC charges and the protection required would not warrant the charge or the monitoring for that matter. Just over 10% of my CCTV systems are monitored, but all of those are businesses where they could not afford not to have their CCTV monitored.

Personally I think monitored CCTV is horses for courses, and I doubt very much a consultant could sell it any better than I could

Very true, for retail theft it can be helpful. But in a big store like PC World, it would pay for itself quickly.

 

What about a newsagent, small distributor or small software company? Does it add anything for them?
