TNC Solutions Inc. carries a wide range of security cameras and security accessories for every need, from box style interchangeable cameras to the newest in IP technology.
Outdoor Camera Housing:
Both heat and cold can greatly reduce the effectiveness of a camera when it is outdoors. Specialty housing units are used to help protect the camera. A standard housing unit is used as a first line of resistance against the elements. Heat is the greatest concern, if the equipment becomes overheated, than the system will fail. In cold weather conditions, a weatherproof enclosure protects against condensation and rain. In industrial settings cameras can be exposed to corrosive substances and only a stainless steel housing unit will provide the only protection and keep the surveillance camera in a hazard free environment.
Vandal resistant/Bullet proof Housing:
In high-risk areas where a camera might be shot at, the only option is to protect the camera with bullet proof housing. This enables the camera to withstand the impact taken from a bullet. With vandal protection a camera is able to survive intentional abuse. Normally these cameras are mounted against a wall. The window on a vandal resistant housing is usually made of injection-molded polycarbonate plastic. With this material the camera is able to resist hammer blows and baseball bats.
Infrared Camera:
An Infrared camera is a thermal-imaging system that allows the user to use the camera in all weather conditions both day and night. These cameras are beneficial in measuring temperature and being accurate. These cameras can be used in perimeter security both indoor and outdoor. Uses for this camera include night vision, early warning systems, navigation, flight control systems, weather monitoring, security and surveillance are just some of the advantages to installing this camera.
When adequate light is not possible this camera will allow you to see objects in the dark.
Solar Powered Wireless cameras:
These cameras are ideal for remote location use as well as large properties. This type of system can be used for wildlife, pipelines, construction sites, parking garages, and environment changes in the desert. With the Solar power areas that benefit from this type of camera are normally areas that are remote or are difficulty accessing such as pipelines, bridges, utility plants, or rural properties. This type of camera eliminates worry about traditional power units as well as Internet access. This camera also carries a backup battery for emergency purposes.
Dome Camera:
People can not see which way the Camera is looking. The housings for these Cameras are manufactured from tough polycarbonate materials able to withstand vandalism. Uses for the Dome camera are Railway Stations, prisons, shopping centers, parking garages, stairwells, banks, nightclubs, etc. Whenever the camera is in danger from vandalism or attacks the Dome camera is highly protected.
Companies can start saving money with wireless cameras. Not only are they easy to install, they are user friendly.
Infrared Imagers:
This permits high levels of night vision and is a key feature in updating Infrared cameras. This camera surpasses the conventional infrared cameras. This is outstanding since it can function in little light or zero light conditions for maximum surveillance. It can change from color during the day and switch to black and white at night. These cameras are well suited for vital security projects including perimeter surveillance, asset protection and intrusion detection.
The goal in developing and establishing Smart Video Surveillance is replacing existing passive video surveillance and to remove or minimize the need for human observers to monitor and analyze data. This high tech system uses a combination of shape analysis and tracking to locate people and classify objects. A motion detection module is built into the camera, which helps to initialize the tracker. The tracking algorithm also built into the camera helps to update motion velocity, appearance, and noise. The motion detection module inside the camera films once it picks up on objects moving. Object tracking module is used for estimating the location of each object in each new frame. This is essential because if the motion detection module fails to detect movement using the object tracking, this ensures that every object will be captured on surveillance.
IP based Video Surveillance:
Internet-based protection allows users to access live and recorded video anywhere in the world. Why would this be beneficial? This break through system will give you the opportunity to log into your user account and allow system administrators to customize user accounts to user specific roles, preventing certain people from accessing unauthorized functions and sensitive, private information not appropriate to their role or function. When the person who is in charge of the account creates users for the system you can customize your account so users must be authenticated when logging into the system. When exporting surveillance video this information must be accurately preserved for evidential purposes, so people can not tamper with video evidence. For example, a video file can be shortened in order to remove incriminating evidence. Who’s taking advantage of this top of the line camera? Some examples include retail stores, banks, law firms, gas stations, parking garages, schools and government offices.
What is so great about IP technology?
Anyone can get a camera installed, but why would you need or want one? Now people can integrate a camera into your personal and daily life and view them from anywhere in the world. Installing cameras on your property would give you the option to watch your vacation home any time, day or night. The biggest advantage to you would be having access to watching your cameras whenever you have access to the Internet.
Everyone has surveillance needs. This doesn’t mean that you need to use your cameras for watching for criminals to break into your house, most people who own them for personal reasons may monitor children, pets, or the weather outside their vacation home in Mexico. Companies install these cameras at schools to catch violent acts, private buildings, and offices to monitor employees, watch the inventory, and observe dress codes. Privately owned businesses will be able to put cameras in their office to monitor employees. This is beneficial because the owner or the company will never need to go to work to check on the company. From the comfort of his/her home they can go on the Internet and look at the cameras to make sure their employees showed up on time and are working.
By installing wireless cameras you can install cameras easily either indoor or outdoor since there is a lack of cables. These cameras offer a large hard drive to be able to hold weeks of video footage.
Cameras have gotten a bad rap over the years from people spying and or misusing them. Today however, cameras are the latest and greatest invention especially the IP surveillance cameras. For most people or companies it is impossible to have someone watching your business 24 hours a day, but a security camera can do the job of many.
These cameras offer wireless technology which is advantageous because this will eventually lower the cost of the cameras because installation becomes easier and quicker.
Monitor Senior Citizens:
Most want to be able to keep their independence and freedom. But, if an elder is living in a home and taking care of themselves, what if something were to happen to them? By placing a camera in their home this would give the family or friends peace of mind knowing if they had not heard from the elder, they could log onto the camera and check the house to ensure the person is safe. The camera would allow you to see if the person has fallen and can’t get to a phone or any number of possibilities. Having a camera placed in the home ensures a safe, comfortable, and independent living situation.

Casino Surveillance:
Cameras allow for face recognition to help casinos pick out cheats and advantageous players. The facial recognition automatically detects and can identify a human face. The benefit to facial recognition is the cameras pick up on distinguishable features such as the width between eyes, scars, skin color and tattoos.
These cameras load into databases to store known offenders. So when police come and check ID Police now know by facial recognition who the person really is instead of the false identification they may be using.
Not only is facial recognition good for Casinos, but other uses are to catch terrorist at the airport, bus or train station. Surveillance cameras are also being placed underground in subway stations. With airports now using this system they will be able to put everyone who comes in and out of that airport into the database.
Use of Surveillance Camera for Advertising and Marketing:
Advertisers are using billboards and street ads to place video cameras towards the people to look at facial reactions and expressions when they are exposed to the Ad. Why is this good? Marketers need to know if the Ad is coming across the way the want it to and if it is effective.
What to look for when purchasing a camera:
There are many things to look for when purchasing a camera for yourself. The size of the camera normally does not matter. Most think when they use a large camera and thieves can see it, it may actually prevent theft. Depending on the use for the camera will help make a better decision on which size you need.
High Resolution also gives a better, clearer picture. The higher the resolution for the camera, the better the image will be. Low resolution provides limited viewing access and lower quality images. |
