Commercial Video Surveillance

Scalable Video Surveillance at Your Fingertips

Networked video and video verification is now more integrated than ever. Today's technology allows video surveillance systems to integrate with alarm, access control, point-of-sale cash register, and intrusion detection solutions. Identification, loss prevention, employee safety, and operations monitoring are just a few of the benefits of having a Moon Security video surveillance system. Remote viewing and control from internet-connected devices makes management simple.

We design scalable video surveillance solutions for a wide range of industry verticals, including hospitality, construction, retail, manufacturing, education and more.

What Are the Benefits of Installing Commercial Security Cameras?

Deterrence is one of the single greatest benefits of installing surveillance cameras. Being caught on camera is often enough to discourage most criminal and dishonest behavior. More than just a deterrent, video recording capabilities also offer you a record of illegal activities, and enables you to take additional actions to prevent future occurrences.

Here are some of the benefits of installing surveillance cameras:

• Catch criminals in the act
• Discourage armed-robbery, theft, and pilfering
• Protect your business from false liability lawsuits
• Keep an eye on employee activities
• Protect inventory
• Save on insurance
• Maintain safe appearance
• Boost employee productivity
• Discourage vandalism

Take Video Surveillance to the Next Level

In the old days, camera systems were designed to run all the time and record everything, which wasn't very efficient. People typically only checked camera footage when something bad happened or went missing. Today, cameras have become much more sophisticated and can be accessed through the cloud, which can help with assessing emergency scenarios and avoiding false alarms.

Here are some of the latest advances in commercial security cameras:

• Cameras have a much higher resolution
• Business owners and managers can check camera feeds 24/7 through a smartphone
• 3^rd Party monitoring can assess after hours situations
• Cameras can be attached to motion detectors that only record at the detection of movement
• Battery powered cameras can be placed anywhere without wiring
• Indoor and outdoor CCTV cameras come in a variety of styles that serve different functions.
• There are cameras that can operate perfectly at night
• Intelligent video analytics software can identify potential threats and alert personnel to danger

We offer and service cameras, NVRs, and DVRs from HikVision, Digital Watchdog (Honeywell), March Networks, and others.

Focal Lengths

The focal length of a lens is essentially the magnification of the picture. The camera location and area of capture will determine your needed focal length. Here is a comparison of how a video feed would look at several different focal lengths, mounted in the same location:

Resolution

"Zoom and Enhance!" You can't create pixels out of thin air. Magnifying an image will not necessarily create a more legible picture. There is a wide spectrum of resolutions available on cameras today, so if you need the ability to read the license plate from a vehicle on your street, then you'll want the clear, crisp video that higher megapixel cameras can deliver. To better illustrate the point, here is a comparison of various resolutions offered on many cameras:

What Types of Facilities Typically Need Commercial Security Cameras?

Surveillance cameras aren't necessarily something that every business needs; however, cameras are getting better and less expensive, making this technology far more accessible to the average sized business.
