There are many reasons to incorporate surveillance into your business. Maybe you need to monitor several worksites simultaneously, to keep tabs on progress. Perhaps you need to keep an eye on valuables. Maybe you have a multi-branch company and you like to keep all offices in direct communication, especially for training and conferences. What ever the reason, CYTEXONE Surveillance will customize a system to provide you with the highest quality surveillance capabilities.

SUPERIOR IMAGE QUALITY

Image Quality is obviously one of the most important features of a surveillance system, especially when lives, property or even getting the job done may be at stake. CYTEXONE Surveillance integrates all image enhancing technology to deliver the clearest picture.

Superior image quality enables the user to:

• Follow details and changes in images closely in order to make better and faster decisions concerning the safety of people and property
  
  
  
• Use automated analysis and alarm tools (such as face recognition), with fewer false positives

Seven Factors That Contribute To A Clear Image:

1. Low light capabilities
   A camera might deliver reasonable image quality in bright light conditions, but it may be unsuitable for typical indoor situations.
   
   
2. Lens replacement
   A high quality lens can deliver better images.
   
   
3. Image resolution
   Higher resolution means more detail.
   
   
4. Backlight compensation
   While a camera's automatic exposure control tries to get the lightness of an image to appear as the human eye would see a scene, it can be easily fooled. To avoid this, a mechanism called backlight compensation is introduced. It strives to ignore small areas of high illumination, just as if they were not present at all. Without backlight compensation, the image would be too dark, and identification would be impossible.
   
   
5. The ability to correctly capture moving objects
   Progressive scan means that images do not suffer from the "saw" effect that hampers interlaced video technologies.
   
   
6. Additional image enhancements
   The functions that drive enhancements reside in the chip that handles image processing, and affects color, sharpness, exposure and the white balance.
   
   
7. File size and bandwidth requirements
   Digital cameras use image compression. There is a trade off here between high quality images and compressed images that require much less bandwidth. The JPEG standard is used to achieve the highest possible quality, and MPEG is optimized for lower bandwidth requirements.

REMOTE ACCESS = FREEDOM AND USABILITY

Being able to look through your surveillance cameras via the Internet opens up several useful possibilities:

• Keep tabs on anything from anywhere. Monitor property, pets, job-sites, and more in a cost-effective way through remote access on your personal computer. Stay home and stay connected.
  
  
• Modern business often requires branch offices to be across the country—even out of the country. It is not time efficient, nor cost efficient to transport qualified personnel from far away to headquarters for meetings, inspections, or even training seminars.
  
  
• CYTEXONE Surveillance can offer a solution enabling employees to be “virtually present.” A network camera will allow for a videoconference, seminar, or inspection, and with the addition of two-way audio, colleagues can communicate.
  
  
• Any employee can witness all of this by simply opening up an Internet browser and connecting. Remote Access has never been so productive.

WIRELESS

With a built-in Web server, CYTEXONE Surveillance products operate as stand-alone units and only need connection to an IP network by wireless means. Say good-bye to your electrician and never worry when the power goes out.

Even if wired networks are present in most buildings today, sometimes a non-wired solution is financially and functionally valuable.

For example, often times installing new cables in the building can damage the interior. Wireless technology gets rid of the headache caused by additional construction and chaotic work environments. Other times, it is necessary to move the camera to different locations on a regular basis. Wireless cameras make transportation amazingly easy. Never pull cables again.

Another bonus to wireless technology is in bridging two buildings or sites together. Forget about that complex ground work; wireless is easily linked.

Without wires how are the images stored? Good question. Images can be stored either on the hard disks connected to a PC or a dedicated storage server on the network. You can also install new features this way very simply.

TRUE SECURITY

CYTEXONE surveillance products have digital inputs connected to alarm devices and sensors that can instantly send email alerts, or even text messages to your mobile phone. Digital output then allows you to respond remotely by doing things like closing doors or turning lights on or off, no matter where you are.

How much control you want over your property or worksites is entirely up to you. Perhaps a clear image of what is going on will be sufficient. Maybe you want to be able to detect motion or glass breaking, or enable alarms. CYTEXONE Surveillance is all about customization. The most important thing to realize is that with today’s technology the possibilities are phenomenal.
