OUR MAIN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES INCLUDE:





CLOSE-CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEM (CCTV) -- Wired/Wireless





CCTV Surveillance System or Closed Circuit IP Cameras – another genre of potent automated security solutions have proved to be very potent electronic security systems that are used to keep a close eye on the mob in public places as well as in the restricted areas, where access needs to be strictly regulated. These CCTVs and Close Circuit IP cameras send images to the monitor room at a remote place. Most important feature of this electronic security solutions or electronic security systems is that it can be installed in such places where human access needs to be checked. In places where there is a huge gathering, these automation systems can be of immense use. Each and every activity of the individuals in the gathering remains under scrutiny of the security personnel. Some of the trusted CCTV Surveillance Systems are the following:





• Top Dome Cameras





Board cameras are mini cameras that feature a lens mounted onto a circuit board. Their size – sometimes as small as 1’ x 1’ – makes them well suited for security camera system applications where discretion is important. They are often used for covert security camera system monitoring and some board cameras even utilize pinhole lenses.














CCD CAMERA

IR cameras combine a black and white camera with infrared illuminators for night time surveillance. Even if you use color night vision cameras, they will switch to black and white when used with the IR LEDs at night. To view or record clearly in the minimum light, we are recommending these cameras for scattered light places like factories. The camera comes with minimum of 10mtr IR to maximum of 100mtr IR distance. The distance mentioned in the product is to capture the image in the night time up to the specific distance, but the picture clarity will depend upon the TV Lines of the cameras.

• Speed Dome Cameras





Speed Dome Cameras can move side to side (pan), up and down (tilt), and zoom in and out (zoom). PTZ cameras are controlled either by a remote control, joystick, or computer software. To use a Speed Dome Camera you will need 2 things. First is a display device, which will display the video of the Speed Dome Camera. This is often times a monitor, TV, or computer monitor. Second is a device to control the Pan, Tilt, and Zoom of your camera. This is normally 1 of 2 things: The joystick controller that is sold along side of the Speed Dome Camera and the other is that you can use your computer's DVR card software to control the Speed Dome Camera. We also sell DVR card and software.





Coming out of the Speed Dome Camera is the power connector, the video cable, and the wires to control the Speed Dome Camera functions. The power cable connects to a power adapter. The video cable connects to your display device. It does not necessarily have to run to the same place the controls go. The Speed Dome Camera wires connect to either your joystick controller or computer if you are using a DVR card.





If you want to use multiple Speed Dome Cameras and control them from the same controller or DVR, you will need to do 2 things. First you have to make sure they are all set to the same protocol and baud rate. Second is to change the camera numbers so they are all unique. In addition to the baud rate and protocol, the camera also is assigned a camera number (1-255). Each Speed Dome Camera in your setup must have a unique camera number. These are normally changed via dipswitches on the cameras. Then, on the joystick, you just tell it to switch to the camera number you want to control, and then control it.





Touring and cruising: Touring and cruising are two words that mean the same thing in the world of Speed Dome Cameras. With your Speed Dome Camera, you can program in presets. A tour or cruise is when the camera automatically moves from preset to preset in a specified order.





Presets: Presets are an easy way for you to move your Speed Dome Camera from set location to set location. For example, you have a doorway, sidewalk, and hallway of particular importance. For each of these location, you set the camera just right (pan, tilt, and zoom), and then assign it a preset number. Once this preset has been set, you can easily and quickly get back to that same position. No matter where the camera is pointing, you can recall that preset and quickly jump back to the specified location.





Cat Alert offers many variety of speed dome camera with 10X, 18X, 22X, 30X, 35X, 37X & 42X Optical & 400X digital zoom, which helps to monitor area up to 2 Km.

• DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDERS (4, 8, 16 CH H264 DUAL STREAM MULTIPLEX DVR WITH VGA) (OPTIONAL IP BASED).





DVR is an integrated system which accommodates different combination of multiplexers, quads, video recorders and alarm controllers. This system represents a great step forwards beyond any of conventional analogue surveillance systems. The system not only performs monitoring, motion detection, alarm control and different electric/electronic devices control at the same time, but also stores images from camera into hard disk for playback later.





Through networking it can be easily accessible from any where and at any time. Further, the system employs an easy-to-use interface, which maximizes the efficiency of the surveillance.





There are basically 4 main DVR types with configuration of 4 Ch, 8 Ch, and 16 Ch.





Standalone DVR:

This is simply where you buy a DVR box and you can connect it to your television and your satellite service. The majority of these DVR boxes will come with a setup wizard allowing you to setup a service allowing you to take advantage of the DVR technology available.





DVR with Satellite Receiver:

This is simply where you pay a company a monthly subscription fee for your DVR box and satellite service. They provide the DVR and the satellite service all in one. This is usually the simplest option.





DVR with external recording:

The more advanced DVR types come with a way to record your downloaded shows to an external device allowing you to free up space from your DVR and keep a permanent copy. This could be recording to a VCR or even transferring across your home network. Some of the latest DVRs come with inbuilt DVD recorders, but these DVR types are currently very expensive.





Remote DVRs:

These DVRs are currently in the pipeline and in fact mean that you won't have a DVR in your home at all. Your satellite provider would store your recorded shows on their own DVRs and would stream them to you. You would still have all the same functions, but the DVR box would be somewhere else.

HOME AUTOMATION


























Home automation is the residential extension of "building automation." It is automation of the home, housework or household activity. Home automation includes centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. One can furl/unfurl the curtains of his/her home as well as turn on/off the shower tap remotely. One can turn on the sprinklers in his/her garden just by pressing a button on his/her remote and water his/her plants and trees. Through home automation system, a lady can do multiple home chores simultaneously. She can wash family clothes in an automatic and remote controlled washing machine while doing some other task. There are many other things that one can do with his/her automation system. Home automation is very helpful for the elderly and disabled persons who might otherwise require caregivers or institutional care. Devices may be connected through a computer network to allow control by a personal computer, and may allow remote access from the internet.
