Safety in darkness: the advantage of infrared CCTV cameras


While criminals might target your business at any time, day or night, it is no secret that they often choose to operate under the cover of darkness.

Night offers protection from prying eyes, with fewer potential witnesses, and all too often people arrive at their place of work in the morning only to find signs of an intrusion and missing property or vandalism.

That is why it is important to ensure you are monitoring your business at all times, and the best way to do this is with an infrared CCTV camera.

These work differently to regular cameras as they are able to detect and convert heat energy into an electrical signal, which can then be converted into a representative image.

Infrared cameras are an ideal option for outdoor shooting as they offer a far superior picture in low light conditions. However modern infrared cameras are also adept at indoor shooting as well, or for capturing any area where variable light conditions might make a regular CCTV camera less ideal.

One of the best options in this field is the WZ18 Integrated IR Bullet Camera, which uses a 1/3 in CCD image sensor to offer excellent high resolution image quality at a depth of up to 20 metres.

This camera is also very easy to adjust and offers flexible viewing angles, meaning you can shift coverage between different areas as required.

The WZ18 Integrated IR Bullet Camera utilises a dual window IR-Cut and IR-Pass filter and mechanical filter technology allowing it eliminate focus shift and infrared bleed.
This makes it the perfect camera for capturing vivid images during the day and quality infrared picture at night.

However there are many other CCTV cameras on the market that offer infrared image capturing and it is well worth considering your options and identifying one which is right for you.

By choosing an infrared security solution, you can not only increase the protection of your business but you can also help work towards a safer community as well.

Do Wireless Alarms Need Wi-Fi?

Wireless alarm systems will not require Wi-Fi , at least not to communicate with its wireless components. The only time a wireless alarm would need Wi-Fi  is if it reports back to an app on a customer’s smartphone, to alert them of an intrusion or to allow them to arm and disarm the system remotely. For the system to properly talk with its wireless components , it would require a receiver. In some instances this receiver can be built into the main control panel, but more often than not it is a separate device that must be wired in.  This receiver uses RF frequencies to communicate with each wireless device, which will have a wireless transmitter inside.  These wireless devices have the same function as their hard wired options, for example a wireless detector is able to detect movement the same way a wired detector will.  The difference is how it transmits this signal back to the panel.  The hard wired detector creates an open circuit when it detects movement, tripping the alarm ins
