CCTV to go iPhone crazy!

The world is buzzing about anything that is related to Apple!

Queues form at the slightest hint of new iPhone stock landing in the stores

Around 2million iPads are sole EVERY SINGLE MONTH!!!

We love our Apple devices here at Integrated CCTV…..don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a sales pitch for Apple, they really don’t need it!!

But…..our industry is really slow in catching on to the Apple train….

Ask any decent DVR or IP provider and they will tell you ‘yes, our iPhone app is coming’….. Well so is Christmas!!!!

Now I am sure Apple don’t help with their Draconian app store red tape……but really, the SDK has been around for a while, surely the DVR bods can see the benefit in releasing software for the global leader in smart phones??

And let’s not forget Android……predicted to have a 17% share of the mobile OS by 2011…..up from under 5% last year!!!

We did stumble across a fantastic alternative though…… Live Cams HD in the app store for both the iphone and the ipad…… Barry Egerter has done a great job in creating a multi platform app that will talk to a variety of IP cameras and NVR devices……. and with an app that is so low cost and a device list that is constantly updated via an Internet connection to the Live Cams server, this offers a really great way to access your CCTV system…… Barry promises to add new devices, free of charge, in return for customers downloading his app……. a great way to ensure commercial success…… we’ll keep our eye on this one we think !!

what mobile platform would you prefer to view your CCTV? ! let us know

External CCTV security systems

External CCTV security systems.

Protecting goods you have to store outside is becoming an extremely important issue now. Anyone who has left items unattended for a period of time will know that before long someone will either steal or vandalize them.

CCTV cameras

External security systems have been around for a while, a combination of sensors, cameras and audible alarms do help to deter many intruders but what is the best combination and who is likely to need it.

Well anyone who is in the following industries could benefit.

IP camera.

With the new IP camera technology that is now available many of the above industries will need to consider how they approach security and what will be the next move to ensure that they will always have security cover. We recommend that anyone who is considering a new install or an upgrade looks very hard at at new dome cameras that incorporate IR technology for night vision and IP codecs built into the head to enable them to be integrated into an NVR.

Fixed beams.

Fixed beams offer an excellent perimeter security protection solution especially if they can be deployed into a sterile area and have good line of site, in addition external PIR sensors give coverage in areas that fixed beams cannot be used.

Gates and barriers.

Gates and barriers also help reduce unauthorized movement on a site and this combined with ANPR (number plate recognition) give good control over who comes and goes.
