Which surveillance solution is
suitable for me?
Answer : There are many types of CCTV & surveillance solutions
available in the market. Consumers have more choices now, though most
users will probably be confused as to which to choose from. Based on your
requirement, profile, and budget, EurekaPlus will recommend the most appropriate
surveillance solution that will meet your needs. Call
EurekaPlus today for a discussion on your CCTV surveillance needs.
How many types of surveillance systems
are there in the market?
Answer : Broadly speaking,
surveillance systems can be categorized
as standalone type or networked type. For the standalone type of surveillance
system, recording is done on a standalone DVR and playback is via a TV.
For the networked type of surveillance system, the DVR has network capabilities
that allow remote monitoring over the Internet. For some networked surveillance
system, recording is done separately on a PC.
For hassle free all-in-one CCTV without need for drilling & hacking
walls, take a look at our MemoCam.
What is a Digital Video Recorder (DVR)? How does
it work?
Answer : Think of the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) as a VCR that can
display live video footages from multiple camera sources simultaneously
and record them on a hard disk. Unlike VCR, there is no
cassettes or tapes
to change. You can search & review any recorded surveillance video
based on date, time, camera, alarm events, etc. You can playback video from
single or multiple cameras simultaneously. For mid to
higher end DVR, you can
also playback the recording while the recording is still on-going.
How much video can a DVR store? Do I have to
change tape regularly?
Answer : The DVR uses the hard disk as the recording
media. The
length of recording for any DVR depends on many factors, including hard
disk size, recording frame rates, recording picture size, number of cameras,
picture quality and compression algorithms used. No changing of tape is
necessary as DVR can be set to overwritting mode to overwrite older video
in the hard disk when the hard disk is full.
Can I use my VCR for recording?
Answer : Yes, if you only want to record 1-2 hours and has only 1
camera; and you do not mind the low quality of the recorded video.
Will I recommend this type of solution to my client ? NO, as normal VCR
is not meant for this kind of purpose. Even time-lapsed VCR (a kind of
VCR which can record long hours) is not recommended as the price of
DVR
has dropped significantly over the years and offers significant features
which are lacking in time-lapsed VCR. A lot of our clients are engaging
us to replace their old time-lapsed VCR with DVR for their surveillance
systems.
How can I monitor my home, office
or shops remotely over the Internet?
Answer : With a broadband subscription and our surveillance solution,
you can monitor live video
over the Internet.
Call us today to see how
EurekaPlus surveillance solution enables live
surveillance monitoring over the Internet.
PS: note that if you happen to work in an office
where there is strict firewall policy, such viewing over Internet
solution will not work for you because most of the port access will be
blocked by your company firewall.
Alternative solution is to subscribe your own
personal broadband on mobile with any of the telco to access your DVR
through the broadband on mobile network.
Can I use a Mac to monitor live video remotely?
Answer : Most network-enabled surveillance works on Internet Explorer
that supports ActiveX. As of this writing, Mac does not support ActiveX.
Fortunately, we have a solution that will enable Mac users to monitor
live video remotely over the Internet. Call us today to find out more
about our surveillance solution that can support
Mac users.
What kind of broadband subscription do I need
to enable monitoring over Internet?
Answer : All types of broadband subscription plan will work, though
we will strongly recommend our clients to opt for unlimited access plan.
As video streaming takes up a large bandwidth, it will make more economical
sense to go for unlimited broadband plan.
How much investment do I need for a typical
surveillance system?
Answer : The investment required depends entirely on the types of
camera, DVR, and installation site. We offer systems ranging from entry
level solutions suitable for home to high end solutions for high security
& industrial applications. Call
EurekaPlus today for a free CCTV surveillance consultation.
If you do not require live viewing over Internet,
take a look at MemoCam, our wireless spycam.
Is it worth investing in my surveillance
system?
Answer : The answer to this question will be :
- if the surveillance system is to safe guard your loved ones (eg. your
young children), how much is the safety & well-being of your children
worth to you?
- if the surveillance system is for monitoring of domestic helper / employee,
how much is the potential problem caused worth to you if they did something
which they are not supposed to do while you are away?
- if the surveillance system is to safe guard your property & valuables,
how much are these worth to you?
