CCTV Video Surveillance

Security is imperative for any business. After all, how can you be profitable if you can't protect your assets? Video surveillance systems are more intelligent and effective than ever. Cameras now offer computer-like functions and features, like motion sensors and automatic mobile notifications.

Stars Tech intelligent video surveillance solution provides assessment capabilities and improves situational awareness at each layer of the integrated security system. This comprehensive surveillance solution helps identify potential threats throughout a facility, including risky areas, as well as the perimeter and beyond.

Our team can advise on the best and most cost-effective solutions on the market for IP cameras, network switching, video storage and video management software.

Security Camera System: Outdoor-Indoor

Video Surveillance or CCTV are used to observe an area, connected to a recording device or IP Network and monitored in a Control Room. Video surveillance technologies are used for far more than their roots in crime detection, with video analytics solutions able to serve a variety of applications such as traffic and crowd control management.

Stars Tech provides an end-to-end security solution for the following industries:
Home - Retail - Public Transportation - City Surveillance - Logistics - Education - Commercial - Stadiums - Government - Law Enforcement

Benefits and Features

Are you wondering which CCTV camera to buy for your business premises? We've summarised the benefits of each of the different types of CCTV systems below

Our experts provide a comprehensive project assessment to determine the needs of your business, and work with you to design the security camera solution that's right for your unique application:

Dome:

A dome CCTV camera gets its name from the dome-shaped casing that the camera sits in. Whilst these are relatively discreet CCTV cameras in appearance, this doesn't stop them from deterring criminals. This is because the dome casing makes it really difficult for people to see which direction the camera is pointing. This creates an air of uncertainty for potential thieves or vandals approaching from all directions.

Bullet:

Bullet CCTV cameras have an iconic design that is highly visible. They are cylindrical in shape and are capable of observing long distances. Bullet cameras are most commonly placed outdoors so their casings are made resistant to water, dust and dirt.

C-Mount:

C-Mount CCTV cameras are the ideal option for those who may wish to adapt the field of vision. They are equipped with detachable lenses that can be switched around to monitor varying distances. C-Mount cameras are typically bulky so, like bullet cameras, act as a visible deterrent to criminal activity.

Floodlight Cameras:

These are cameras with a large floodlight that turns on when the camera does. This helps them capture clearer video and potentially scare away intruders. They can be hardwired to existing lighting wires or powered by an outlet.

Infrared / Night Vision

These infrared/night-vision CCTV cameras have the ability to see through pitch black conditions using Infrared LEDs. These cameras are ideal to be used outside and at night where lighting is nearly zero.

Network/IP

These cameras share live footage across the internet so images can be easily accessed from anywhere on the globe. The bandwidth of the video is compressed, in order to make the online feed reliable. Archive footage is stored on network video recorders (NVRs) or on secure software for later access.

Hidden / Spy:

Is a still or video camera used to record people without their knowledge. The camera may be "hidden" because it is not visible to the subject being filmed, or is disguised as another object. Such a camera may not be visible to the subject, for example, because it is fitted with a long-focus lens and located beyond the view of the subject, or located, say, behind a two-way mirror. Hidden cameras can be built into commonly used objects such as television sets, smoke detectors, alarm clocks, motion detectors, ink pen caps, plants, and mobile phones. Hidden cameras may be used for household surveillance devices and may also be used commercially or industrially as spying.

Explosion Proof / Anti-Corrosion:

Our Explosion-Proof and Anti-Corrosion Security Cameras can withstand a blast incident. As powerful as reinforced stainless steel. Our logistics processes, services, tools and systems in combination with strategic CCTV Security camera locations help you to meet your security needs and achieve security with much more accuracy.

Wireless / Stand-alone:

You may be looking at security cameras for a purpose other than security and safety. You can install cameras for observation related uses, such as watching after animals in a zoo or animal sanctuary, live streaming a sporting event, or time-lapse capture of a construction project. Whether you want to capture video or snapshots, our cameras can handle any task.

Varifocal(Zoom) / Flexible PTZ:

Enterprises have long been looking for solutions to monitor large areas of their premises from all directions to ensure 360-degree security. Talking of 360 degrees there is only one camera that comes in mind that is the PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) Camera. Well, many other cameras available in the market but the PTZ cameras have time and again proved to be one of the best outdoor security solutions for monitoring large areas.
These cameras are a great choice for outdoor applications such as:
Parking Lots, Garages, Rooftops, Construction Sites, Railway and Bus Stations, Airports, Roads.

Cabling and Transmission

Selecting the correct transmission media for CCTV is one of the most vital aspects of designing a quality system and yet it is the least understood topic in system design. You can have the highest quality hardware components in a system but if the video signal is not transmitted by the proper media, your whole system will suffer. Many of the common video problems with picture quality can be avoided by selecting the proper transmission media and following proper installation techniques and procedures.

Coaxial Cable

CCTV video signals are commonly transmitted using coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is designed to transmit the complete video frequency range with minimum distortion or attenuation, making it an excellent choice for CCTV. However, choosing the incorrect coaxial cable can degrade the overall signal transmission and/or allow outside EMI/RFI interference to be introduced into the signal causing high noise levels. This in turn can result in poor picture quality.

Wireless

Wireless transmission can lower capital and ongoing costs as well as giving you more flexibility and control over your network. It is ideal for redeployable cameras for events or hotspot areas.

Optical Fiber - multimode or single-mode

Generally, when selecting the equipment and cables, both the elements have to be compatible. If the connections between cameras and the switch are greater than 2 km, it is necessary to apply single-mode cables. Similarly to situations where one cable should transmit signals from dozens or hundreds of IP cameras. With such a wide band, the use of single-mode fibers should be a more preferred solution. The range of single-mode cables is broader, allowing for the selection of optimum cable, and the transmission line can be extended in the future beyond 2 km, if necessary.

The difference in the price of multimode and single-mode devices, often served as an argument for the option of applying the former, nowadays is negligible, at least in the case of transmission equipment for LAN and CCTV systems. And the cost of multimode cables is even higher, due to a more complicated production process. So, all the arguments are for single-mode solutions (greater distance, higher throughput, lower price).

The only argument for the choice of multimode fiber is the common opinion that this type of fibers can be spliced more easily. However, in the case of video monitoring systems the links are usually comparatively short and the optical power budgets are high, so the precision and attenuation of the splices are not so critical. Hence, a very popular option is the application of mechanical splices, with real attenuation up to 1 dB. Of course, regardless of the chosen solution, the installer should care for the greatest possible precision and quality of the splices, but in practice the choice of the type of fiber is not important in this regard.
