    \n
  1. Have a security camera dedicate to each main entrance\/exit.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cover high traffic areas, like lobbies and main hallways.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Make sure that you have a camera anywhere people sign in\/badge in.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Every point of sale should be monitored.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. If you have a large parking lot or equipment storage, find a high vantage point to mount your camera.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Watch your dumpsters. They can be attractive targets for information theft.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Warehouses or wherever valuable assets might be stored.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>

    We Offer A Range of Types of Commercial Security Cameras<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

    We understand that different industries and building layouts require different solutions. Sometimes stationary cameras are ideal for tight, linear corridors, but a business lobby may require a 360-degree unit to cover every square inch of the room at any given time. Further, we recognize the need for industries, such as healthcare, IT, and finance, to be particular about who enters their premises. We can integrate your security cameras with your other security components, such as access control systems and intrusion alarms.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Security Camera Features<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

    The technology built into video cameras has improved dramatically over the past decade. Security cameras today come with a wide range of advanced features. Of course, expanded functionality comes with increasing costs, so the first step in designing your security camera system is to clearly define your needs and risk scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Night Vision<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

    Near-infrared technology lets you see as well at night as you would during the day. This can be extremely valuable for cameras that need to monitor the exterior of buildings 24\/7 and do not have the support of strong exterior lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Great for monitoring: Exteriors where there is poor lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Motion-activation<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

    Recording footage non-stop is inefficient and would require you to figure out how to store said footage. This could be done by re-recording over old footage (and risk losing important clips) or storing it in the cloud (which can be expensive); The better solution is to only record when you need to. Cameras with motion detection only begin recording when they sense movement in their field of view. More advanced versions can also screen out false positives, like triggers from shadows or small creatures.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Great for monitoring: Entry-ways and internal corridors and minimizing storage needs\/cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    2-way Talk\/Audio<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

    Wireless commercial security cameras now have the capability to capture audio, and some even come with built-in speakers. This means that someone monitoring the cameras can have a conversation with whoever is captured on camera. Imagine a remote worksite where it would take too long for an employee to respond. With a 2-way talk wireless commercial security camera, an employee can speak via the camera to help resolve an on-site issue, be that a delivery, offering guidance to fix a problem, or warning off intruders.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Great for monitoring: Remote-sites<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Heat Sensing \/ FLIR Cameras<\/span><\/h3><\/div>

    Specialized cameras can detect heat or detect changes in heat when compared to surrounding areas. This is a huge advantage in zero-light conditions and in detecting intruders at long distances.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Great for monitoring: Remote-sides with zero-light and long approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Method Of Monitoring<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

    Monitoring video feeds is another important consideration when implementing video security. Will you have an employee watch screens 24\/7? While that might be appropriate for facilities with large security teams, like hotels or hospitals, but corporate offices might prefer the ability to have AI monitor and only alert staff should an issue arise.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If human monitoring is required, consider employing third-party monitoring services, which we provide. These services will watch your video feeds and follow pre-agreed upon response plans for a lower rate than hiring a full-time employee.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Security Camera Feed Storage<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

    i.e. Smart Systems will install a traditional storage system if you prefer. You may save your files and footage on a hard drive without worrying about file corruption on your computer. <\/span><\/p>\n

    However, if you’re concerned about physical storage space, you may opt for digital storage. Your files will be placed in a cloud and can be accessed across multiple devices, including your smartphone. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Maintenance and Support<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

    Like all machines, security systems are bound to wind down through constant usage. A whole day of no security can prove costly. i.e. Smart Systems provides quarterly maintenance services to ensure your systems stay up and running. We will take care of problems and glitches before they grow into issues requiring more expensive solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you notice an issue arising, you may contact us. We are available for call support to troubleshoot common security issues. If, however, the problem persists and is something more complex, an on-site visit may be needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We provide full-time on-site support to address your needs if a problem arises. We will fix your issue as soon as possible to get your systems back up and running.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Cost of Installing Security Cameras<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

    You might have guessed based on the above that the cost of deploying security cameras at your business will depend. Here are the major factors:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. How many cameras do you need?<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. What features do you need?<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. How much work will it require to install? (Will you need power\/data cabling wired?)<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Will you require additional infrastructure? (Storage, command centers)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Regardless of how big or small your security project is, i.e. Smart Systems has the experience and products to ensure your project is a success.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
