Defining the Scope of A Video Security System
Installing and configuring business security camera systems today has grown in complexity from the coaxial cable days.
The system design starts with a consideration of the business purposes, goals and budget for your premises security.

As camera resolutions have increased, the initial considerations such as lighting, lens and enclosures have been joined with bit rates, frame rates and compression standards.
Network capabilities are also more complex. Whether you have an in-house or outsourced IT department, we work with your IT professionals to make sure the video security camera network works as it’s designed to work. Ensuring your system has the proper network backbone to operate and the proper server and storage requirements are just some of the IT issues Vulcan Security Systems considers when designing your project.
Installing Your System
Once your new system, retrofit or expansion is green-lighted and a contract signed, we schedule the installation to accommodate your business operations schedule.
Our technicians install cable, as necessary, as well as the cameras and digital video recorder. We adjust the security cameras in the field for its proper view based on the area to be under surveillance for each camera. We program the settings of the digital video recorder. Most video surveillance systems today take advantage of DVRs and are tied into your local area network for remote access when you are away from your office or traveling between business locations.
Training Your Staff
Lastly, we insist on onsite training of our products. You need to know what you have and how to use it properly. This will hopefully take care of getting everything you need functioning effectively to best protect your business.
