Video Surveillance & Monitoring Systems

Interior and Exterior Video Surveillance and Monitoring for Stratas

Video surveillance systems for commercial enterprises provide live or recorded video of public / common areas both inside and outside commercial buildings and industrial sites.

Security cameras can also be used inside and outside of schools and private residences as an extra measure of security.

IP (Internet Protocol) / Network Surveillance Systems

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 video surveillance system is often referred to as an IP (Internet Protocol) / Network surveillance system because the 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 security cameras produce amazingly sharp images that can be enlarged after capture (post record zoom) to provide the viewer with the most information possible to better identify individuals, objects, or activities captured by the camera.

Does Your Building Have an Existing Older Video Surveillance System That Isn’t IP?

Alpha Integrated has a solution for this without replacing all the wiring! Read on to find out how we can help you with this.

Analog video systems have recently experienced a revival with the introduction of higher resolution formats including HD (1080p) up to 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. We even have hybrid systems that can do both IP and Analog, so we can take advantage of your existing wiring while being able to add IP cameras at new locations in your building.
