CCTV


Take the Heat

THE security of critical infrastructure and facilities is vital in today's world. With recent advances in technology, there are more choices on how to protect facilities from crime, terrorism, sabotage and intruders.

Enter the Matrix

THE core of most traditional, analog CCTV systems is the video matrix. The matrix is typically an electronics rack situated close to the control room.

A Shot in the Arm

The Last Word

Cover Your Assets

THE cost of lost assets to companies has been demonstrated in many studies to be significant. The application of DVR technology has been proven to reduce this type of loss in a cost-effective manner.

All Eyes on You

The mission of the Forks Township Police Department is quite clear to all residents who live within the Pennsylvania township. With cameras and DVRs installed, it is evident that public safety and efficient law enforcement is considered paramount. An enhanced quality of life is what has driven installer ICU Security to do what it has done for the community.

When All Chips are Down

FOR years, the gaming industry has enjoyed a reputation of employing state-of-the-art surveillance technology and protocol.

You've Got the Power

WHEN managing security risks for a critical infrastructure organization, there is no room for error. The Patriot Act defines critical infrastructure as "the systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters."



In Sharp Focus

NOT too often does the security industry see new imaging technology -- at least not one that provides system designers, installers and users with a unique feature set that delivers improved efficiency.

Enhancing a Legacy

THERE are consistently fantastic capabilities of IP surveillance systems being installed in new facilities. Security managers at older facilities may listen with envy about the labor-saving features of new systems and the enhanced reliability they offer.

The Sky's the Limit

IN 1999, NASA sent a complex digital camera into space as part of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, a telescope that relays images of the universe back to Earth.

The Right Stuff

WHEN you consider the investment companies have made in analog devices, moving to IP can be a difficult task.

Supermarket Hype

WHEN Carrefour, one of the largest food retailers in the world, expanded its presence of hypermarkets across three continents, the company hired security system integrator UTI to establish loss prevention systems within the unique shopping environment.

The Last Word

JUST the thought of making the move from analog video security to an IP-based system can give even the best security manager worries. IP-based systems are becoming more mainstream, advancing security in many applications.

Seeing in the Dark

THE desire to see in complete darkness or through smoke or fog has driven the development and adoption of thermal imaging technology.

What's Out There?

CAN you think of a building, structure or facility that would not benefit from heightened security?

The Big Bang

AS the technology drums continue to beat in support of Internet Protocol video security solutions, many may wonder about its impact on the business community -- most notably, on those organizations that have invested heavily in their legacy analog components.

DVRs on the Run

ADVANCED software solutions and wireless technology are dramatically lowering the cost of operating mobile DVRs in the mass transit market.

Cleared for Takeoff

NOW approaching the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the need for constant vigilance at the nation's airports is as important today as in those first harrowing days of the aftermath.

A Forward Pass

For both security and emergency purposes, there is a very basic need to identify people that are inside a building. For years, log books have been a standard for recording visitors, but because of issues with legibility and credibility, they are not always reliable.
