The process of designing, installing, and modernizing professional Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) or Video Surveillance System (VSS) involves several key steps to ensure effective monitoring and securing of the area covered by the system.

​

Difference between CCTV and VSS:

​

CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) is a traditional video surveillance system that involves transmitting images from cameras directly to monitors in a closed network. Recordings are typically stored locally on tapes or hard drives.

VSS (Video Surveillance System), on the other hand, refers to more advanced video surveillance systems that often utilize network technology. An IP (Internet Protocol) camera is the main component of VSS. It operates similarly to a CCTV camera but instead of transmitting the image directly to a monitor, it sends it over an IP network, enabling remote access to the image from anywhere with internet access. Additionally, data is usually stored on servers or in the cloud, providing greater scalability and security. VSS also offers advanced features such as motion detection, facial recognition, behavior analysis, etc.

 

Design:

​

   1. Requirements Analysis:

 

• Understanding the client's needs, including the area to be monitored, types of objects for surveillance, security level required by the client, available financial resources, etc.

 

​

   2. Location Assessment:

 

• Reviewing and evaluating the installation location, including building infrastructure, lighting conditions, etc.

• Determining the number of cameras and their placements to cover the appropriate areas.

 

​

   3. Device Selection:

 

• Choosing CCTV/VSS cameras and other devices such as recorders, switches, power supplies, depending on the client's needs and requirements and the specifics of the location.

 

 

    4. System Design:

 

• Developing a CCTV/VSS system design, including network topology, device connection scheme, camera types, technical parameters, etc.

• Determining camera mounting locations, cable routes, recorder locations, etc.

 

 

Installation:

​

   1. Device Mounting:

 

• Physically installing CCTV or VSS cameras, recorders, monitors, switches, cables, power supplies, etc.

• Mounting cameras at appropriate heights and in optimal positions for the best view.

 

   

   2. Network Connections:

 

• Connecting cameras to recorders using signal cables.

• Configuring LAN or WLAN for wireless systems.

 

 

   3. Testing:

 

• Conducting tests on all devices, including checking image quality, connection stability, recording functions, etc.

• Adjusting camera settings and positions if necessary.

 

 

Modernization:

​

   1. Existing System Evaluation:

 

• Reviewing the existing surveillance system to identify areas requiring improvement or modernization.

 

 

   2. Device Updates:

 

• Replacing older cameras or recorders with newer models with better technical parameters.

• Adding additional cameras to cover new areas or improve visibility.

 

 

3. Integration of Intelligent Image Analysis Functions:

 

• Configuring advanced image analysis functions such as motion detection, facial recognition, alarm lines, etc., to tailor the system to specific client needs.

 

 

4. Testing and Optimization:

 

• Testing new features and devices to ensure their effectiveness.

• Optimizing the system configuration to improve its performance.

 

 

The process of designing, installing, and modernizing monitoring systems requires cooperation between security specialists, installers, and the client to ensure that the system meets all security requirements and delivers the expected functionality. A properly designed and configured surveillance system can effectively prevent security incidents and help resolve them.

​

Sample Pricing (for a single project or service intervention):

​

Modernization of an existing surveillance system: from 1000 PLN, depending on the scope of modernization, equipment replacement, addition of new features, etc.

 

Designing and installing a new surveillance system: from 2000 PLN, depending on the number of cameras, type of infrastructure (e.g., wired vs. wireless), scope of intelligent image analysis functions, etc.

​

Diagnosing and Repairing CCTV and VSS Systems Problems:

Hourly rate for technician work: from 120 to 200 PLN per hour, depending on location and specialization.

​

CCTV and VSS Systems Audit:

Review and evaluation of existing CCTV or VSS infrastructure: from 500 PLN, depending on the scale of the audit, number of cameras, scope of analysis, etc.

​

These values may vary depending on the location and scope of work. A detailed quote should be arranged directly with the sales department, taking into account specific requirements and customer needs.
