Do you need a highly experienced and professional Patchs Beach security camera installer? We can advise, supply and install any CCTV system for Patchs Beach residential or commercial needs. Typically our Patchs Beach surveillance systems come with the following features, which we are confident is suitable, reliable and cost-effective for residential homes, farms, and commerical businesses. Here is a list of our typical features:

• Full High Definition 2MP (i.e. 1080p/1K), 4MP (i.e. 2K), 6MP (i.e. 3K), 8MP (i.e. 4K)
  or very expensive 12MP (i.e. 6K)
• All our security cameras have 50 meters night vision!
• All our security cameras are vandal and weather resistant (IP67).
• All our security cameras use Starlight (i.e. colour footage in low light 0.005lx)
• All our security cameras support AI-based people/vehicle recognition for reliable alerts.
• Remote live view and playback via PC and/or mobile device(s).
• Recordings stored locally via hard drive (i.e. no cloud required).
• All parts come with at least 3 years warranty.
• Built-in microphone - can be disabled by software.
• Optional onsite active deterrence features such as built-in siren, strobe and red/blue flashing lights.
• Multiple buildings can be joined via dedicated wireless links - range 15km line of sight!
• Solar powered and 3G/4G systems available upon request.

When it comes to critical infrastructure for tier 1 companies and government, there are some outstanding options - however they are expensive! Some features include:

• Motion detection via PIR or radar sensor - see below section "Motion Detection".
• Target position and velocity tracking via radar - up to 50 metres and 120° field of view.
• Horn with preprogrammed voice messages, or custom voice messages.
• Control 3rd party devices (e.g. gate, lock, lights)
• Alerts/logs for 3rd party devices (e.g. lock status, PIR status)
• Analytics features such as people counting and cross line detection (virtual trip-wire).

When most people think wireless, they forget about power. In most cases wireless systems are only for data, and therefore still required wired power. From our experience there are two cases to use wireless:

For large span installations, trenching is costly and risky, so we recommand to bridge the gap with wireless links instead. For example. Building A, might have 4x wired Security Cameras for Patchs Beach, and building B might have 8x wired Security Cameras for Patchs Beach. So we simply link the buildings with one wireless link. We generally use 900MHz or 5GHz wireless transceivers, that can go up to 15km line of sight. For most cases we can use 5GHz. However if we need the wireless signal to go around corners, over a mountain, or penetration objects, buildings and/or dense foliage, we would use 900MHz.

From our early evening tests, a 8MP security camera using a 12mm lens can see Australia licence plates at about 35 metres. So in theory we have the following MegaPixel (MP) vs range for reading licence plates, assuming a 12mm lens:

• 12MP security camera - about 50 metres.
• 8MP security camera - about 35 metres.
• 4MP security camera - about 17 metres.
• 2MP security camera - about 8 metres.
• 1MP security camera - about 4 metres.

If you just need a security camera to see licence plates, then you just need to select a suitable lens and MegaPixel (MP) security camera for your target range. However if your objective is to automatically recognise a licence plate, and perhaps match it against a database for access control. Then please see our Licence Plate Recognition LPR/ANPR services.

If you're goal is to read licence plates, we'd suggest an 8MP optical zoom camera, as the 12MP option is typically too expensive.

In the previous section we discussed that typically a wireless solution requires power. For remote security camera installations, power is not available. In this case, we can use batteries and/or solar. It should be well understood that a solar solution is not cost-effective and can be not aesthetically pleasing. To give you an idea - for one security video camera and one wireless transceiver to continously run day and night will require: about 200W solar panel (in most areas of East Coast Australia), batteries, solar charger, etc, and will cost about $1800 in materials, not including the security camera, wireless transceiver, or galvanised pole.

We are experienced with installation of standard security camera systems for your expensive home, office, warehouse, street or highway. We even offer more complex CCTV solutions which may require features such as:

• People counting
• Face recognition
• Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) also known as Licence plate recognition (LPR)
• Production line object recognition
• Optical character recognition (OCR)
• Pedestrian tracking
• Cross Line Detection (virtual trip-wire)

We appreicate the cost of a high MegaPixel (MP) wired security installation is an investment. However if you can't afford such a security camera system, then we are aware of one option that is cost-effective for home and small businesses. That system is known as the Netgear ARLO Smart Home Security - 4 HD Camera Security System. It costs $799 for 4x 1MP (i.e. 720p) cameras, records to the cloud, and is 100% wire-free (batteries life is about 4 to 6 months). It is typically a DIY solution. We do NOT recommend ALRO for these reasons:

1. We don't do small projects sorry.
2. Built-in wireless antennas - so loss of frames.
3. Store data to a 3rd party cloud - this uses precious internet bandwidth and that 3rd party has all your video recordings.
4. Typically plastic camera housing, not full-metal housing - so generally not vandal resistant, or high IP rating.
5. Less night vision range.
6. Less field of view.
7. Typically less MegaPixels.

As you maybe aware - any security camera installer must be licensed by law. Furthermore, any security firm that has installers must be a member of a security organisation such as ASIAL Corporate Membership. This ensures police have the finger prints of all CCTV installers, and all security firms are held to a constitution, code of professional conduct, policies and procedures. It should also be noted one is not allowed to use the ASIAL logo unless they have been a member for a least two years. For your peace of mind, here are our lience and membership details:

• Security Adviser and Equipment Installer Licence Number: 4021999
• ASIAL Corporate Membership Number: C12516
