In a climate where more and more emphasis is placed on security and data gathering, massive advancements have been made in security camera systems. In fact, CCTV or “closed circuit television” is now old technology and cameras all over the world are rapidly being replaced with “Hi-Res” megapixel cameras.
The advantages of Mobotix HiRes camera technology are manifold;
• Cameras record 30 times more detail than CCTV cameras. Often fewer cameras are needed to cover the same area.
• Cameras record the full image all of the time. So even if the camera is zoomed in on a particular area of interest, the entire view is still being recorded.
• Cameras can be managed individually with an internet browser or in multiples with management software which is included at no extra cost.
• Cameras can be accessed remotely easily because they are effectively computers themselves. Access can be quickly setup from home PCs, smartphones, iPhones and PDA’s also.
One such local authority which was immediately able to experience the benefits of the Mobotix system was Laois County Council.
According to Brendan Garry of Laois Water Treatment Plant there was a need to improve his current security system. “It was crucial that we were able to monitor new areas in the facility vulnerable to trespassers and theft. We wanted the capability to read number plates of vehicles entering the facility, the ability to monitor the cameras remotely and also I wanted to be alerted to any unauthorised activity outside of business hours.”
HCS was able to deliver the end product, Mobotix, and once the cameras and software were installed Brendan was impressed with the results. “The detail in the footage is excellent and being able to access it remotely with shortcuts on my iPhone or web browser couldn’t be simpler. By teaming up with HCS the peace of mind that comes with the installation has been invaluable.”
Dan Hegarty, Director was delighted with the outcome. “The objectives set out by Brendan and Laois Co. Council were clear - improved and expanded security capabilities that could be monitored remotely and in real time.”
“Mobotix gives Brendan the resources to observe the facility as comprehensively as possible and has already led to considerable cost savings.”
