Remote Surveillance is the fastest growing area of CCTV and Secularms are at the forefront of these exciting new innovations.

Secularms can offer different systems to meet your remote surveillance needs, we install both PC based systems and stand-a-lone systems.

PC Based

The range of PC based CCTV systems comprise of a DVR Video Capture Card and Software. The Video Capture Card is installed in to a spare PCI slot on any compatible PC, and the software loaded on to the PC, which must be running Windows 2000 or XP.

The PC then becomes a powerful Digital Hard Drive Recorder, that can:

- Record up to 16 CCTV cameras in real time, and at high resolution directly on to the PC's hard drive - Detect when cameras see movement and send telephone or email alerts to you when this happens - Be accessed remotely over a normal telephone line, network, or the internet.

Secularms can provide whole PC based systems, these include processor, memory, hardrive, cd writer, modem and video capture card to match the number of cameras.

We strongly recommend that for remote surveillance a broadband connection is used, for the system to have complete stability a static IP needs to be purchased or leased from your ISP. The system works with a standard modem, however the remote frame rate viewing speeds will be considerably less.

The PC based system includes a number of security features that ensure that all of images captured are only viewable to authorised persons, these include multi level password system, email and/or telephone alerts and software and hardware watchdog.

There is also the option for audio remote monitoring, each system comes with 1 audio channel. A microphone is plugged into the video card and the system instantly becomes a remote audio monitoring system.
