SECURITY CAMERAS / CCTV

(CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION)

RECORD THE EVENT

 

Protecting what is important to you starts with an alarm which controls the security of the property.

 

CCTV to monitor and record events is as important and easy to achieve with an integrated security solution from Pedigree Security.

 

In a sea of camera choices, we have done the hard work for you.

 

Whether your property is a million-euro villa on an exclusive resort, a Quinta in the countryside or an apartment in a city, the security of your property and those who live in it, should be your priority.

 

At Pedigree Security, we understand security systems and design each security installation to be as unique as the property it protects. Run of the mill everyday security systems from main-stream security companies follow similar installation patterns and thieves understand them. The more unique your alarm system is, the less likely a thief will be able to understand it. The less they understand it, the greater the deterrent.

MAKE THE CORRECT & INFORMED DECISION

 

Choosing whether a Wired Security Camera installation or a Wireless installation is the best solution for you and your property, requires careful consideration.

​

Wi-Fi Security Cameras

​

Wi-Fi and wireless security cameras offer significant benefits when it comes to the deployment and overall flexibility of the installation. They offer more freedom than their wired counterparts. They don’t require a wired network plugin and instead operate over a wireless signal, much like a smart device does in your home. This makes them easier to install anywhere, but the location does depend on the strength and reliability of the Wi-Fi signal which is why Pedigree Security with Pedigree Networking will perform an evaluation of your Wi-Fi network to ensure it is strong, current and will allow the wireless security cameras to perform at optimum.

​

Ease of Installation: Wi-Fi security cameras can be installed in any property where there is a wireless network. You don’t have to run new network cables inside walls or across ceilings meaning the security cameras can be installed anywhere that has a power source and, in the cases where the security camera has solar panel power connectivity, they can be installed anywhere! This can make it especially easy to install a single camera outside your property or near an entrance that has never been wired for connectivity.

​

Flexibility: Wi-Fi security cameras are also easy to move, relocate or replace if needed. If your surveillance strategy changes and you want to reconfigure your set up or add new cameras to the array, no problem!

 

Portability: If there is connectivity, the flexibility of Wi-Fi security cameras extends far beyond the building especially with the solar powered versions.

​

Connectivity: Historically, wired connectivity was generally more stable than signals sent over Wi-Fi but with the roll-out of faster and more secure Wi-Fi protocols such as 5GHz, Wi-Fi 6 and now Wi-Fi 7, this is no longer the case. Optimizing the placement of wireless access points and wireless boosters, a well-maintained wireless network shouldn’t suffer disruptions, and the security cameras will remain online. 4G / LTE cameras are also available on the market allowing a backup connection system should the internet fail.

 

Cybersecurity: Wi-Fi security cameras with a carefully designed and installed Wi-Fi architecture can be highly secure. As with all internet systems, they inherently have a point of vulnerability through Internet connectivity, but this won’t make a Wi-Fi surveillance camera system less secure than a wired option, so long as additional safeguards against internet-enabled threats such as secure passwords and logins are implemented all of which Pedigree Security will configure.

​

Wired Security Cameras

​​

Wired security cameras have been the traditional surveillance option for decades. While their tethered nature provides a reliable connection and makes them easy to power, this limits their flexibility and is more intensive and cost prohibitive to install than their Wi-Fi counterparts. Newer and recently renovated properties that have ATi or ITED installed, does allow for an easier installation for a wired security camera system but these connections will need to be evaluated before the installation to ensure the connections are correct, fully functional are in the correct location for the desired surveillance results.

​

Wired Connection: Because a wired security camera is plugged directly into the network, this leads to more cabling and wiring considerations.

​

Constant Power: Wired power, whether through a traditional electrical outlet or Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable, is only as reliable as the electrical grid powering it which as we all know in Portugal can be hit and miss. For constant power and to protect the units, Pedigree Security recommend an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with surge protection.

​

Installation: Installing and deploying a wired security camera system can be costly, time consuming and messy where cables and tubes are needed. Wires may need to be run and logistical considerations mean that you may be limited in terms of where you can place each individual camera for the best surveillance.

​

Flexibility: Because a wired camera is tethered to a specific location, you’re unlikely to ever move it after it is installed. This limits your flexibility to change anything if a location is renovated or if new construction pops up in the next door or blocks the camera’s visibility.

​

Older Technology: Wired cameras can be cutting-edge when it comes to their capabilities—and many are—but many models remain stuck in the past. Some wired security cameras may have older user interfaces and fewer modern features. Wi-Fi security cameras, by contrast, are newer to the market and more likely to fulfil modern requirements like remote viewing from a mobile device.

EUFY Wireless Security Cameras

The EUFY range of wireless security cameras from Pedigree Security are comprehensive with options for different installations including battery powered solar security cameras, flood light cameras, wireless cameras with 4G and Wi-Fi connection and even Doorbell cameras.

​

All dedicated security cameras have 4K resolution so are ideal for older properties, or properties where wired connections are not an option.

AJAX CCTV from Pedigree Security

The Ajax range of security cameras from Pedigree Security are top of the line wired security cameras designed to work with an NVR (Network Video Recorder).

​

All security cameras are 4K resolution so are ideal for new properties with a current ATi / ITED wired installation, or properties where a retrospective wired network has been installed.

​

Installation of these cameras will require an audit of the wiring to ensure it conforms to the requirements needed.
