IP CCTV

CCTV Cameras have become an integral part of our everyday lives. They surround the society we live in, constantly recording our movements and the movements of others for the sake of our security.
In the UK today, there are more than five million CCTV cameras, constantly watching over us as we go about our every day lives. On average, each citizen is caught on camera 300 times per day. The use of CCTV footage has become an essential tool for protecting both our businesses and the society we inhabit.

Yet as technology has continued to develop many of the systems protecting our assets have become old and out dated.

EyeWiMAX has developed a new way in CCTV: IPCCTV.

IPCCTV is a managed service offered by EyeWiMAX that connects a customer's CCTV cameras across our network, drawing the feeds from multiple customer sites into one of our datacentres for tamper-proof digital storage. The service also allows customers to monitor live images from their cameras - and retrieve recorded footage - from any of their networked locations that they specify.

CCTV has traditionally been used purely for security purposes. However, the IP-based solution has a much broader range of applications. Enterprises are starting to adopt this technology to improve the overall effectiveness of their security monitoring. Depending on the organisation, IPCCTV can offer:

•    Reduced shrinkage in stores

•    Reduced costs through removing the need for manned guarding

•    Improved compliance with in-house security processes

•    Improved compliance with legislation

By networking the cameras we can offer the following benefits:

•    Centralise monitoring and response

•    Reduce costs through replication of resources

•    Reduce costs through needs to travel to site

•    Improve availability and integrity of security systems by hosting information centrally and securely

•    Improve efficiency of information sharing

•    Improved organisational memory

•    Improve cross geography event collaboration

•    Begin to federate information with other organisations and security databases

EyeWiMAX IPCCTV provides the only fully managed solution on the market, providing a simple per camera per month cost including the storage of the images. We offer a unique approach to moving different proprietary CCTV systems to a common IP backbone. This approach leverages other technologies - such as network security, routing, switching, wireless and network management - pulling together our experience of data networks and storage with our expertise in the security market.
