With the worry of security becoming even more of a concern for businesses in all industries, a number of businesses have reached the point where they need to improve and change the systems already in place to IP CCTV.

Also known as IP Surveillance. IP CCTV is a simple system of security cameras linked by a single network which allows businesses to monitor the security of their property.

The IP CCTV allows both large or small businesses to transmit images of their property perimeter and store them on an internet connection.

There are a handful of top reasons why you should have IP CCTV over analogue CCTV. Easy to manage and install, minimal cabling is required and the images captured are almost free to save on line. Unlike generic CCTV systems IP CCTV allows the users to quickly convert images into data and then sent via a network. Once on the network, the images can be accessed via a data centre where they can be analysed.

This type of surveillance system can also be integrated to work along side with existing analogue CCTV structures, meaning that you won’t have to change the whole system to see the rewards of IP CCTV. In terms of everyday use, IP CCTV also gives businesses greater flexibility when it comes to assessing images, along with higher resolution when compared to analogue CCTV systems.

The technology of CCTV over IP effectively means that companies don’t need to spend large amounts of time searching through hours of images as they will have more control over the recorded footage from day 1 – each individual camera has its own unique IP number which makes cross referencing much simpler. All of the data images which have been recorded are saved onto one network only, so it is simply a matter of finding the correct date and time.

One of the main advantages of IP CCTV is that the information can be viewed from virtually all browsers in the world as long as the user has access to the system. The cabling is much easier to have installed by a company than you may have thought. This gives you the option to not visit the office, as managers and security persons can look at from their own home. In addition to saving time, this also allows managers to subtly access the images without raising concern with individuals in the office.structured cabling is an essential part of the system and if done correctly will provide you and your company with the tools to monitor security seamlessly.

The system is immensely popular with a wide variety of businesses including retail and government – IP CCTV can be installed in a range of existing buildings by qualified CT professionals. IP CCTV is mostly used on new builds to offer businesses unbeatable protection from the very beginning of their contract. What’s more, because of the nature of the technology, IP CCTV can also run seamlessly alongside other network connections.

The IP CCTV system can save businesses hundreds of valuable pounds a year if integrated correctly. The number of companies looking to have IP CCTV installed in today’s business world means that it is expected to replace existing analogue security systems in the next five years.
