Video surveillance (once known primarily as CCTV – Closed Circuit Television) has undergone a major technological re-definition in recent years.

New systems such as IP addressable cameras and network DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) operating over a secure network have become more readily available at competitive prices. Their reliability and ease of use compared to the traditional 'Tape Based' (VCR) counter-parts is beyond imagination.

Standard CCTV systems are most easily recognizable as the series of black and white monitors we have all seen either at local convenience stores and other retail outlets. A series of cameras are placed through-out a location and the video is fed directly to an internal, closed circuit, network that can only be accessed via direct terminal access at the location

Retail outlets, hotels, large manufacturing facilities and the like have been employing CCTV networks for years.

Today's systems incorporate the latest in both camera and digital video recorder technologies. These systems offer unrivaled video quality from cameras that in some cases are no larger than the size of a quarter – opening the door to literally unlimited placement and concealment of your network of cameras.

With Wayne Alarm Services, you are dealing with professionals that have years of experience in these CCTV systems. Our CCTV systems are used by many in our client base including several National Retail outlets.

Some of the early digital video systems (as well as the digital access control systems), promised much, but delivered very little. From cumbersome installations of software to incompatibility with existing networks these early systems proved to be more of a management problem than a solution. Although these systems were in demand by users, Wayne Alarm took the time to evaluate the market so that we could offer solutions that meet, and in many cases exceed our customers’ expectations. We use the latest hardware and software products from the highest quality and most reliable manufacturers in the industry.

The equipment and features that make up what is termed as 'remote video' in today's Security and Life Safety industries are more a group of services than they are complete systems. All video surveillance systems start as a 'closed network' and then expand from that point allowing services such as access to video feeds from remote locations using a PDA or other mobile device.
