Are you one of the thousands of companies that installed a CCTV system some years ago and now simply change the tapes on a daily basis under the assumption that should an incident occur, your recorded images will be as clear as the day it was installed? In reality, the likely hood of obtaining useable images from an old tape based CCTV system is unlikely. Furthermore, the police/courts have very stringent requirements relating to the use of CCTV for evidential or prosecution purposes. Images from old systems rarely lead to a successful prosecution.
In recent years, CCTV has shifted away from traditional “analogue” Time Lapse VCR’s towards the new breed of “Digital” Hard Disk recorders.
The key advantages of “Going Digital” are:-
- Hard Disk Recording – You don’t need a VCR to record images anymore because they are stored on a hard disk inside the unit. Problems of poor quality images due to worn VCR tapes and management issues are eradicated. The operators never need to worry about re-winding, changing or replacing tapes again. When the available hard disk space is full, the unit automatically begins recording over the oldest video.
- Instant Access – Powerful GOTO and event search facilities allow the user to access the footage they need quickly and easily. Users can either key in the date and time or view video frame by frame with no loss of recording performance.
- Remote Viewing – Perhaps you want to view your premises out of hours or simply want to keep an eye on what’s going on. All Eurotech digital video recorders offer remote viewing as standard.
- Digital Quality – Not only do you get crystal clear image quality from our DVR’s, digital images do not degrade – the image stays the same no matter how many times it is copied. Digital also gives you perfect picture pause with no distortion.
With over 20 years experience in CCTV installation, we can breath new life into your system by offering a range of upgrades like those mentioned above to an extensive range of cameras and LCD TFT flat screen monitors.
All of the above can generate an audible alert locally,
be viewed elsewhere within the building or signal to our
24 hour monitoring centre.
