Technical Specifications
Are you looking for a CCTV system to work in conjunction with your security system? Installing CCTV Cameras and connecting your cameras via an application on your mobile device will allow you to easily view footage in the event of an alarm activation.

Similarly, if the space you’re protecting does not have much lighting, you should consider cameras that have strong night vision capabilities. With night vision cameras, you must make sure that the camera you choose produces high quality footage or else your feed will be ineffective due to being too pixelated and grainy.
