One of the most exciting emerging technologies in CCTV is being able to track movement. The PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera in the video is capable of this. This is a good example of how well this technology can work, however, it is not without its flaws. For example, if somebody is walking from left to right… Continue reading Modern Innovations in CCTV Technology – Tracking
The red grid in the picture defines the surface area for motion detection. If someone were to move within the surface area, we can program the system to send you an alert.

The first feature we will introduce is the simplest. Line crossing is a basic but effective feature available in the software of the high-spec cameras we install.

I love a security challenge that is a bit unusual and exercises my technical ability. We have a CCTV client in central London who is having problems with vagrants and other ne’er do wells occupying their open basement areas for their nefarious activities at night. (This has only become apparent since we installed their shiny… Continue reading Vagrants Keep Out
As a lover of science fiction, I like nothing more to imagine that I could travel round the universe visiting strange new worlds, seeking out new civilisations etc etc. But I know it is only an artificial image created by clever special effects and computer graphics and will never be a reality for quite some… Continue reading We live in the real world – and deliver real world CCTV systems
With the news full of the forthcoming EU referendum, I thought if would be cool to have a little voting session of our own.
