Video Surveillance Systems for Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley

Video surveillance systems for businesses provide live video monitoring of public areas and inside commercial buildings. Commercial security cameras can also be used inside and outside of schools and private residences as an extra measure of security.

Over the years, video surveillance technology has continued to improve with the most recent transformation being the introduction of high definition or megapixel security video systems. Each camera is designed to capture digital images and send these images over a signal back to a computer/server, which manages and stores the information using video management software, also known as Network Video Recorder (NVR). This type of commercial video surveillance system is often referred to as an IP (Internet Protocol)/Network surveillance system because the commercial security camera and computer/server are networked together like your home or office computer network and use Internet Protocols to communicate with each other. These industrial security cameras produce amazingly sharp images that can be enlarged after capture (post record zoom) to provide the viewer with the most information possible in order to better identify individuals, objects, or activities captured by the camera.

Analog video systems have recently experienced a revival with the introduction of higher resolution formats including HD (1080p) and 4K. The price of these analog surveillance systems is very competitive, and the best part is that they can be used with the existing wiring infrastructure from older video surveillance systems. The significant differences between the two types of commercial video security systems are cost, image quality, and scalability. The IP/network megapixel cameras produce the highest quality video available, are the most flexible security video systems to work with but are currently the most expensive to set up. The analog to DVR surveillance systems are less expensive, produce lower quality video and have limitations with their scalability. Each of these types of video surveillance systems has a place in today’s market. The key is recognizing which one of these commercial video surveillance systems best suits your needs.
