Alarm Systems
Integrating your CCTV with your alarm system can provide a powerful combination of visual and audible security. When an alarm is triggered, your CCTV system can provide real-time video footage of the event, allowing you to respond quickly and effectively. Additionally, CCTV footage can be used to verify the legitimacy of an alarm, reducing the risk of false alarms.
Motion Detection
Motion detection technology can be integrated with your CCTV system to provide real-time alerts and video footage of movement within your premises. This can be particularly useful in areas with high foot traffic, such as lobbies or corridors, where it can be challenging to monitor activity manually.
Geofencing
Geofencing technology allows you to define specific boundaries around your premises, such as a perimeter fence or a specific area within your building. When an individual or vehicle enters or exits the geofenced area, your CCTV system can provide real-time alerts and video footage, allowing you to respond quickly to potential security breaches.
Access control systems
Integration with access control systems allows you to monitor and control access to specific areas within your premises.
Fire alarm systems
Integration with fire alarm systems can provide real-time video footage of potential fire hazards, allowing for a quicker response time.
Intrusion detection systems
Integration with intrusion detection systems can provide real-time alerts and video footage of potential security breaches, such as break-ins or tampering.
