Advances in video system technology have occurred at a more rapid pace than perhaps any other aspect of security. From the early VHS tapes to analog DVRs to today’s fully digital Network Video Recorders (NVRs) the rate of change has been breathtaking, especially when it comes to making capital decisions regarding new infrastructure. Analog/digital hybrid video recorders (HVRs) have helped provide a transition path to enable the many analog camer

as already installed to be used alongside the new IP megapixel units now flooding the market.

But progress doesn’t stop, and we are now seeing video assume its rightful place alongside intrusion and access control in protecting people and properties. Advanced analytics can now be embedded in digital cameras for about the same price as a conventional camera, but the advanced detection techniques give today’s systems capabilities far outstrip the traditional event review and investigation role typically assigned to video systems.

Bond Securcom has carefully selected video partners who understand the overall mission, and who produce products and systems which help you manage a broad range of issues and threats. 

Whether your requirement is for a small analog video system with four analog cameras, a massive, IP-based digital system with redundant video servers, or a combination of analog and digital cameras managed on the same hybrid DVR/NVR to provide a managed transition to the newer technologies, there are many choices to consider:

• initial system size and potential growth in number of cameras?
• image resolution and frame rate?
• indoor and/or outdoor camera?
• analog or IP, analog and IP?
• need for extremely high resolution (megapixel) cameras?
• extreme operating conditions?
• budget?
• and, of course, quality, support and service.

Bond makes it easier.  We have designed and installed small, simple analog camera systems, and sophisticated systems with as many as 250 IP cameras connected via a fiber backbone to fully redundant servers.  Do you need full redundancy in your servers to ensure the integrity of the video record even if hard drives or key video server components fail?  We can coach you on the solution best suited to your requirements.  While we support many manufacturers of video systems, we favour the technology and solutions offered by the following companies:
