IP-CCTV
DDAI achieves Gold status with Axis - the world's leading network video experts.
DDAI are specialists in IP-CCTV design, installation and support. As part of our fully integrated service, we provide industry leading solutions which will enable you to monitor and control your security systems remotely – increasing security, flexibility, quality and reducing your costs.
Flexible and Powerful - Our solutions are as simple or sophisticated as you want.
Enhanced Security
As security becomes a more urgent priority for organisations, the need for better CCTV monitoring has become a necessity. The impact of IP-Surveillance technology (or IP CCTV) on the security industry is just now being felt. We have evolved from feet (actually eyes) on the street, to security guards seated at monitors, to the ability to automate intelligent surveillance.
Cameras in any location - There are almost no limitations on where you can place cameras, eliminating the substantial civil engineering costs incurred in digging up roads to lay cabling for traditional analogue CCTV systems. Network IP Cameras can also be wireless.
Remote accessibility - Each camera has its own IP address and software. Pictures are available to all authorised users in any network location.
Centralised Management - Existing IT staff can manage the system. This also allows for centralised management from the IT department.
Enhanced Quality
Improved picture quality – Providing the highest quality images, relayed back to your network at a speed of up to 25 frames per second.
Instant information retrieval - Playback of recorded images is instantaneous, with ability to go back to a particular event from an individual camera several weeks ago within seconds – No more trawling through endless hours of videotape.
Sophisticated camera management control and replay - With either static and/or network controllable PTZ dome cameras, we can provide a complete and highly professional security system; allowing IP pictures to be stored locally or remotely and activate motion detection/event recording and continuous recording. Camera pictures can be monitored and events recorded for later viewing in conjunction with camera management software.
Financial Benefits
13% savings - Network v Analog – A 2010 independent study by IP and IT security specialists Lusax, a research group at Lund University, Sweden suggests that IP-based systems are on average 13 percent lower cost than a corresponding analog system.
Save £’s on security staff - The cost savings of being able to monitor multiple sites from one location are considerable. With IP CCTV, you can monitor up to 32 cameras on two screens at a time with a single camera and respond to events in real-time without having to perform patrols.
Use your existing network infrastructure - Existing IP network infrastructures can be used to operate the IP CCTV system, avoiding the cost and inconvenience of wiring up a new CCTV infrastructure.
Improve Performance and Relationships - The network video equipment can be applied to non-security applications, such as research and as a personnel or management tool. Managers can help improve staff performance by monitoring their work and analysing the results.
