Pogo work on many levels with security cameras, including IP cameras, DVR and NVR based security systems, and hybrid systems. We work on many levels, incorporating cameras into existing networks, consulting on new systems, and sometimes just finalizing systems another CCTV security camera provider has installed. (By which we mean, they’ve cabled the cameras and set-up the digital recorder, but they don’t know how to set-up the modem or smart phone to allow the client to view their cameras off-site.)
Security Camera Installation Services
The services that Pogo offer to Gold Coasters looking for security camera installation are:
- consulting for set-up of new security systems
- set-up and optimization of security cameras including:
- configuration of motion detection zones
- configuration of alarms, SMS and email triggers
- configuration of modems/routers/firewalls to allow remote view of security cameras
- configuration of smart phone apps for viewing the security cameras remotely
- set-up of dynamic DNS account to maintain a static host name
Pogo are adept at installation of a number of security cameras:
DVR CCTV is best for multiple camera installations. If you want 4+ cameras then this is your best solution. The DVR has a hard drive, usually around 1Tb these days, and it will record up to a month’s audio and video.
IP cameras are a cheaper security camera alternative if you only need one or two cameras. They connect directly to your existing network, often by wireless, so the physical installation of these security cameras is an easy job. Pogo do no specialize in the physical installation of cameras but can often install IP cameras when required. Some cameras, like many of the cameras from Compro, come with an SD card slot and they record a small amount of video directly onto the the SD card. Expect to get a and hour or so up to day or two or security camera footage, depending on the size of the SD card.
Installation Of Security Systems
We work with trusted contractors to achieve the outcomes we want for our clients. We are not dedicated nor registered consultants for security installation. Our experience with CCTV is broad but when it comes to installing full systems we bring in contractors we’ve a long history of working with, who understand technology on the level we know it, and who provide robust and reliable security camera systems.
Integrated Security Systems
We’re a technology company, not a security company, which gives us an advantage in many ways. Where applicable we choose to leverage existing infrastructure or incorporate IT infrastructure that complements the needs of our clients and their future growth. Examples of this include:
Spendelove House Security Cameras and Synology NAS
We had already centralized storage and back-up For Gold Coast hospital Spendelove’s data in a Synology NAS drive. Part of the reason we love Synology NAS drives is their versatility. We always have an eye toward the growth of our clients and in this case we knew Spendelove would consider installing a security system at some stage. The Synology NAS drive comes with excellent security software. We added some high definition IP cameras to the network and got Spendelove a cost-efficient security monitoring system.
Unifi Based Security Systems For Gold Coast Retail Shop
We’re big fans of Unifi’s wireless AP products. They’re wonderfully scaleable professional-level systems. Their line of security cameras builds on their wireless systems with free enterprise level software enabling us to use client’s existing computers as an NVR. In a recent case, we replaced a local Gold Coast shop’s cameras with Unifi cameras, installed the software on their existing PC, and gave them an extremely cost-effective solution for monitoring their shop.
