All cameras supplied are IP based which means that we can easily set them up to give you access to camera images from anywhere – via your laptop, PDA or even mobile phone. With our networking knowledge and expertise we can provide all of the cabling and network switches which will enable you to place the cameras in the

We supply Axis cameras which supports the H.264 compression standard, which enables you to:

• Drastically reduce storage costs – less than 50% of the storage space and network bandwidth is required compared to MPEG-4 and less than 80% compared to Motion JPEG
• Choose your benefit – H.264 offers a combination of reduced storage costs, increased frame rate and increased image resolution
• Choose a future-proof and globally accepted standard – Many businesses and consumers industries already use H.264 and it is supported by applications such as QuickTime, Flash, mobile phones, video cameras and many more
