Video End Equipment

  • Re-using older cameras? IP, Analog or HD-over Coax?
  • What type of DVR, NVR or VMS equipment/software would you like to us? Do you want access to the recording offsite or who can access it? Typically management only and most cases the Human Resources department skips
    over the managers in larger companies.

In Depth Thinking

  • Do you need to monitor a specific area to know if something is happening?
  • What do you need to see at that area? Any person tampering with equipment or even protecting a assembly line?
  • Depending on the camera system and resolution of the cameras how long do you need to keep your recordings?

As we are experts in factories and warehouse video surveillance installations, we typically use loading docks to protect from outside visitors or vendors.

The above questions can steer you towards what video surveillance solution would work for your location and needs. Bridge Cable and our expert video surveillance team in the PA, NJ and DE typically will also run wiring for even pre-purchased cameras if you do not wish to purchase an entire package.

FACT: WE SAVED A MAJOR NATIONAL COMPANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WITHIN THEIR FIRST WEEK OF INSTALLING INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL VERKADA CAMERAS.

Cameras Locations

What is your asset that you are trying to protect? Pick high value areas or locations. Typically the more cameras you add then more storage on your above video equipment is needed. For example if you have 2 cameras recording for 30 days then say perhaps 1 TB of storage is fine. If you add 10 more cameras then you will need to buy additional storage space or can only record for up to 5 days until you are out of space. When out of space the system can default to overwrite the past few days. This is a question we review and how long you need to keep the recordings.

What are the actual Locations, outside or internal cameras? Do you need certain mountings? Fixed Dome? Bullet? What angles are needed to be seen?

Networking

  • How is the CCTV or the security solution going to be accessed? Typically most systems are on a different subnet of the existing network. Who is programming the system? VPN access for remote access?
  • Do you have the POE, Power Over Ethernet, switches in place or need them? Are you porting over analog older cameras? Is it coming from various locations?
  • Do you know how far away is the camera end location from the IDF or MDF?

We understand that some clients just think that video surveillance is plug-in and play. Yet some configuration is needed upon installation and we do offer tutoring onsite if purchased though our network cabling services team.

Video Surveillance Points To Consider

  • Camera Type: Certain look? Should the cameras to be used as a visual deterrent or just hidden?
  • Field of View: How large of a view or area do you need to capture or monitor? Do you need to see a license plate in a parking lot or the driver’s actual face?
  • Resolution of the Cameras: As above do you need to see actual faces? The higher the resolution or images means higher quality cameras and more storage space will be needed. The higher resolution cameras are more pixels so the CCTV devices will need more bandwidth and larger storage devices.
  • Lighting: Typically most clients are purchasing Day and Night cameras. However angles during the day or night may not be the best. Talk to us and gain our experience in various lighting situations.
