CCTV Surveillance System

Access Security Corporation develops the turnkey security solutions necessary to protect your company and facilities. We offer Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance systems that are designed to meet two objectives: monitoring and documenting events. CCTV security cameras and IP cameras provide fixed, or Pan Tilt Zoom functionality as well as automatic monitoring capabilities. The network and digital video surveillance recorders document movements or activity by storing the video on hard drives.

Video Input: CCTV Security Cameras
The CCTV surveillance systems implemented by Access Security Corporation utilize high quality cameras, recorders, and other equipment by Panasonic, Bosch, and Pelco. These systems utilize cameras that are strategically placed in both interior and exterior locations. Access Security assesses the needs of the client, the size of the facility, its exit and entrance points, high-traffic or information-sensitive areas, and more. When choosing the type of security camera as well as its angle and location, it is important to choose a company with incomparable experience. Access Security Corp has over ten years of CCTV system implementation and configuration.

CCTV Security Video Processing: Matrix Switcher and Video Multiplexer
The visual data captured by the security cameras in a larger system is processed in the Video Matrix Switching System which is located in the central control area. The matrix switcher is outfitted with a number of keyboard (joystick) controllers that can select any camera in the system, control the movement of a security camera, and select the monitor the camera appears on. The video multiplexer allows the client to display multiple cameras on a single screen, often times called multi-screen display. Access Security often designs surveillance systems where visual data is fed first into a series of sixteen-channel multiplexers for the multi-screen display and then looped through the matrix switcher for better system control over a large numbers of cameras.

Security Video Output: Monitors and Digital Video Recorders
The digital video recorder or DVR captures all data that is looped through the matrix switcher. The DVR many times is connected to a local monitor for programming of local review of archived video. The Digital video recorders (DVR) can be set up to record in a variety of methods. The DVR’s typically record video when motion is detected and will record up to 60 seconds of pre-motion, the motion itself, and up to 60 seconds of post-alarm motion. DVR can also be set up to record continuous video although this tends to require large amounts of hard drive storage.

The IP Video Security Solution and Network Video Recorders
The IP video solution is essentially an Ethernet based system as opposed to the standard coaxial wiring. These system are typically dedicated due to the high bandwidth requirements but can be installed on existing infrastructure. IP cameras come both fixed and moveable and are easily configured through software. Furthermore, IP cameras can be easily decoded at multiple locations with either hardware or software which gives added flexibility when designing a surveillance system. The IP security solution therefore eliminates the need for a central security hub. Access Security’s purpose in offering the IP solution is to offer clients more flexibility for their needs.
