Megapixel vs. Analogue
So what is the big deal? Why should you the consumer in some cases pay more than 3 – 4 times as much for a single IP Megapixel recording camera compared to a standard CCD composite analogue camera seen all over the retail world and airports etc? The answer is better quality of image.
If you can cover with 1 camera the work of 4 analogue is analogue really cheaper? This is the argument in a nutshell more for less. Call the office today to find out if this is your situation as well. Megapixel cameras cannot see around corners…yet.

Dome Cameras
Dome Cameras are commonly used in surveillance systems inside of Casinos, Retail Stores, and Restaurants, simply because dome cameras tend to blend in more with their surroundings. In addition, due to the dome enclosure, it is more difficult for someone to tell which direction the lens of the camera is pointing. If the area that you are installing your camera is susceptible to vandalism or tampering, you should consider installing a Vandal Dome Camera. A varifocal dome camera gives you the flexibility to adjust the focal distance of the camera lens to exactly where you need it.

The fully weatherproof IP camera has two miniature sensor modules, which are each connected to the camera housing with a two-meter cable. Two separate rooms can be secured simultaneously without any blind spots.
Analogue Cameras
Analogue camera’s are ideal if you want to monitor one location from a fixed position. Some benefits of analogue include that systems are less expensive, easier to operate, require less understanding of IT and a system can be made up of different brands.
Hemisperic Cameras
Hemispheric camera’s provide a 360° all round view to capture an entire room, a panorama function and a quad view to show images from four different angles simultaneously. The primary components of the hemispheric camera include a fisheye lens, a high-resolution image sensor and image correction software that is integrated into the camera. These camera’s can be installed from the ceiling or on the wall.
