Remote monitoring from Tyco

CCTV Handbook 2014 Surveillance

CCTV is an exceptionally effective crime prevention and protection system. Cedric Greeves, sales manager for Tyco Integrated Fire and Security Business in sub-Saharan Africa, says, “The newest digital technology enables footage to be used in powerful new ways. For example, you can select an area on the screen and search specifically for movement in pre-defined spaces. Visual information can also be shared over a business intranet or accessed remotely, giving the client additional control and added peace of mind.”

Tyco SA has partnered with suppliers to provide clients with high-tech remote monitoring technology that includes CCTV cameras linked to onsite devices that transmit data via the Internet to Tyco’s monitoring control room. The system works on exception-based monitoring. When an out-of-ordinary event is picked up, a trigger is sent instantaneously to the control room where the operators have a full view of the client’s site layout. The system also links with the alarm system, passive infrared detectors, beams and the electricity mains. Should there be a power failure the system will send an alert to the operators immediately.

In addition, CCTV cameras and detectors can also be used for property perimeter protection. Should the perimeter be breached, on-site controllers in a secure area and remote operators are immediately alerted and the client contacted. “What’s even more effective is the audio challenge feature where the operators have the ability to speak directly to the intruder via a speaker horn located on the premises, letting them know that a response team is en route. This has proved to be a highly effective deterrent. The operators even have access to devices such as lighting, sirens, and smoke and pepper spray systems,” adds Greeves.

Clients are able to opt for 4, 8 or 16 CCTV channels or they can install several cameras initially, using only some, while keeping the others for future expansion. The installation and set-up can be done in two to three days, depending on the complexity of the installation.

With the advancement of technology, Greeves says the benefits of CCTV are better than ever before. The quality of the recordings is such that they can be used as evidence in a court of law, making CCTV not only a valuable tool in crime prevention and detection but also crucial to ensuring that the legal system can run its due course should a criminal case arise. These systems are also low maintenance and far more cost-effective than ever before.
