Why Choose Wired Security Surveillance CCTV Cameras? St. Louis


Why Choose Wired Security CCTV Cameras?

Choosing a CCTV camera for your home or your business could be a big deal especially when you are very much concerned about the safety and security of your family and your property. Now that crime is as its peak, you can never be safe enough which is why more and more homes and business establishments use security cameras.
But the debate as to whether a wired security camera or a wireless model is the best choice is one of the most common concerns of homeowners and business owners. While the popularity of wired cameras continues to impress consumers, smart individuals still choose traditional wired security CCTV cameras over wireless types. This is so because of the following reasons:

Wired setups are technically more reliable compared to wired systems. Wired CCTV units transmit signals with the use of cables and wires to a storage system while wireless systems rely through signals that are transmitted from the antenna to the receiver. There are so many ways that signals from a wireless system may be interfered; aside from physical obstructions routers and other devices that transmit signals may also interfere from the transfer of data.
And since wired cameras are more reliable, the video quality is better. You can clearly see your subject as well as the surrounding areas with a video recorded from a wired security camera. Wired systems also offer more features related to video image like an automatic focus, better video resolution, farther night vision capabilities, facial recognition, missing items or image recognition and so many more. These are just some of the most important features why more and more consumers are choosing wired systems compared to wireless units.
Some homeowners and business owners are hesitant to use wired systems since power and video cables may be easily cut by intruders since wiring is often exposed. There are however new cabling systems like “Siamese” cables that combine power cables with video cables that may be installed discretely from the camera; this will offer better security as well as practicality since you can basically install a wire system anywhere even when there are no power outlets available nearby.
Wired camera systems are often available with 6 or 8 camera units, a receiver, remote controls and cables which offer versatility and savings for the homeowner or business owners. This system is ideal for indoor and outdoor CCTV surveillance as well as home or business security.
Wired cameras are built to be more durable and more resistant to outdoor weather compared to wireless systems. Most wireless cameras look fragile and are mostly made for indoor use while wired systems come with an all-weather housing which can still record in perfect quality even when there is rain, wind, snow and other terrible weather conditions.
Wired systems are very affordable and are often available on a set providing users more savings in the long run. Installation may be costly for wired systems but all the benefits clearly outweigh this disadvantage.

PIECES OF HISTORIC ST. LOUIS GRAND HALL STAIRCASE STOLEN, SUSPECTS CAPTURED ON CAMERA

St.Louis Union Station Criminal Caught on Security CameraIt's a sad fact, but some people will steal just about anything. While most of us think that stolen property is more likely to consist of things like expensive electronics, cars, money, jewelry or other important items, in this case it was a piece of a city's history that proved to be very desirable.

In St. Louis, thieves thought city history was the perfect thing to steal. According to officials at the St. Louis Union Station, thieves stole pieces off of the Grand Hall Staircase last Saturday as the downtown St. Patrick's Day parade was coming to a close.

Surveillance images have been released of the suspects caught in the act. Officials believe that a group of people came into the station to use the bathroom and made off with the pieces. The pieces stolen consist of two out of the four decorative tops, or finials, on the railings.

"They can't be replaced, because you can't replace the history," says Frances Percich, a spokesperson for the St. Louis Union Station.

The theft, thankfully, was caught on the station's security cameras and shows a group of people talking on the staircase. A closer look reveals a man with glasses holding one of the brass and gold leaf finials in his hands.

"So we assume they weren't talking, they were working on getting them loose and off. And we're asking for them back," Percich stated.

St. Louis authorities have taken precautions at Union Station to ensure that this does not happen again. As authorities and Union Station officials consider manufacturing replacements for the finials, they still hope they will not have to. A surprising fact is that even though police are investigating the theft, Union Station officials are not interested in any punishment, they simply want the finials returned, no questions asked.

Percich added, "So I'm begging the community for help. If you notice these people, if you are one of these people, please give us back our history. We want our finials back."

Anybody with information on the suspects or the finials is said to call the St. Louis Union Station at 314-421-6655 or the St. Louis Police at 314-231-1212. You may also report in anonymously by contacting CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS.

Protect People And Assets With Advanced Digital Video Solutions

Digital video surveillance tools are paramount to combating employee theft and shoplifting, as well as organized retail crime. Cameras and “public view” monitors are powerful deterrents to casual shoplifters and employee theft, especially when integrated into other loss prevention systems.

Our advanced video platforms go beyond loss prevention to support store operations and merchandising through remote access to live and recorded video. They gather people-count, POS and other types of data, and generate exception events based on activity in a camera’s field of view. The latest systems work in conjunction with EAS and other loss prevention systems to deliver a comprehensive solution to fight all types of shrink.

What if your system could play video and a voice recording as a shopper with a live tag from another retailer enters your store?

What if that same system could offer a different message, different video and different alarm as another shopper was leaving the store with an improperly deactivated tag, or with stolen merchandise?

It can – ask us how.

By connecting with other systems, you can more efficiently capture and retrieve specific incidents to determine what’s truly happening in your stores. You can bookmark video whenever certain doors are opened after hours or trigger a video recording when specially tagged merchandise is moved from one area of the store to another. If you’re using MetalPoint booster bag detection system, you can capture footage of suspected boosters and quickly distribute it to alert other locations.
