Closed Circuit Television Integration with a Burglar Alarm System

Why not think about combining a Burglar alarm system with a CCTV installation to attain a high level of security and peace of mind? Most of us are concerned about our personal and family security, concerning unwarranted threats of burglary and intruder threats from criminal intention. The commercial and private business world is no different and for all sorts of criminal activities, most businesses will have to acquire sophisticated security solutions, to combat unwarranted criminal intentions and pure vandalism that causes untold heartache.  

Alarm and surveillance technology is an ongoing process to keep up with new security demands, that can help fight back against the wave of crime and property theft and damage now happening on a daily basis. By combining CCTV installation with a burglar alarm system, a powerful security tool is created, offering solid and comprehensive surveillance, combined with proactive threat detection capabilities.

In this brief article, the benefits and functionalities of integration with an intruder alarm detection system are considered a robust security measure to deter various criminal intentions.

Camera Integration with an Effective Burglar Alarm

CCTV and combined alarm systems have long been deployed as a deterrent solution. While rather effective individually, their combination presents a unique security and control advantage. These combined solutions provide quality visual data, enabling the real-time monitoring of premises and property, while technology-driven burglar alarm systems can detect unauthorised access or suspicious unrequested activities. By simply merging these two compatible technologies together, security personnel can respond swiftly and precisely to ongoing or potential threats, elevating the level of the security system.

Comprehensive Surveillance Coverage

A significant advantage of CCTV installation and a burglar alarm system provides comprehensive coverage. Security cameras can be strategically installed in various locations, capturing a wide range of activities within and around the protected premises. When combined with the intrusion alarm system, these cameras can focus on triggered alarm areas, significantly reducing false alarms and ensuring a more targeted response.

Real-time Threat Identification and Response

This enables security or individual personnel to assess the situation promptly, validate the current threat, and respond accordingly. Live camera and video feeds can be accessed remotely, allowing for quick decision-making, and ensuring better response in both personnel and timing, even when off-site.

Quality Video Analytics

Modern cameras and video equipment are better equipped with advanced technical video analytic capabilities. The combined solution is more robust. Video analytics can automatically trigger, detecting and analysing specific events, such as simple motion detection, object tracking facility, quality facial recognition, and any unauthorised behaviour. This easy-to-capture analytics help filter out irrelevant or non-threat events and can be prioritised more on critical and current incidents, enabling more efficient and effective security operating control.

Prevention and Deterrence

Integrating both systems together serves as a very powerful security measure against potential criminals. The CCTV installation means cameras can be hidden or placed in view for all to see, acting as a psychological deterrent, to ensure and discourage any unlawful or unauthorised access or entry and subdue criminal activities. The burglar alarm reinforces this powerful combined effort and by triggering a loud audible noise.

Post and Pre-Incident Investigation and Evidence Monitoring and Recording

In the event of a security breach, the integrated CCTV installation system becomes invaluable for both post and pre-incident investigations. Monitored and recorded video footage and images can be determined and accessed to reconstruct the sequence of unrequired events, helping to identify the intruders and or vandals.
