A quality surveillance system can act as a deterrent, provide you with a clear record of events, and simply offer peace of mind. Should an incident occur, your surveillance system can help law enforcement officers identify and track down the culprit.

So, what should you consider for your video surveillance system? As an Authorized Enterprise Partner for Avigilon, BearCom has helped schools, businesses, and organizations answer this question for over 40 years. Our highly trained team can work with you to figure out what equipment and surveillance system is right for you and your needs.

Location

Location is a major consideration for your video surveillance system. The team at BearCom can work with you to survey your property and determine the ideal placement for cameras that provides maximum coverage, while minimizing blind spots.

Network

If you’re surveilling a large area, like a college or a hospital campus, you’ll need a network that can span that area. You should also consider if you want your system integrated to a central hub and if you require a direct connection to first responders.

Stationary Equipment & Data Solutions

Of course, the specific equipment you use is an important consideration. It’s more than just purchasing a few cameras. BearCom carries high-quality camera products and data solutions that help to make your system as effective as possible.

Avigilon Cameras

Avigilon is a Motorola Solutions company that produces cameras that provide a crystal-clear image and a wide coverage area. Some of our top recommendations for video surveillance include:

2.0C-H4PTZ-DC30 2.0 MP PAN-TILT-ZOOM CAMERA
This CCTV camera comes with patented advanced video pattern detection, self-learning video analytics, and teach by example technology. The HDSM SmartCodec reduces storage, so you can capture more footage.

5.0L-H4A-DO1-B OUTDOOR DOME CAMERA
This 5.0 MP surface mounted dome camera has a triple exposure ultra-wide dynamic range and integrated infrared LEDs. It’s also vandal resistant and IP66 rated for water and dust protection, making it ideal for outdoor surveillance.

Avigilon Appearance Search™

This system uses artificial intelligence (AI) to sort through hours of footage and find suspicious persons so that your security personnel don’t need to invest the time to do it manually. Or, sort through thousands of faces in a crowd to reunite a missing child with their parents in seconds.  

Vigilant Technologies

BearCom is a Gold Partner Reseller of Vigilant Technologies. Their solutions help you create a more secure perimeter by incorporating an advanced suite of license plate recognition and facial recognition software.

Radio Alerts

BearCom can also set up Radio Alerts, a technology that helps to provide you and first responders with advanced warnings. These alerts are automatically triggered by pre-determined events caught on camera.

Surveillance Accessories

Surveillance accessories, such as body cameras, can also help expand the overall scope of your video surveillance system by allowing security personnel to capture footage as they patrol the grounds of your business. WatchGuard Video is the leading mobile video solutions provider for law enforcement. In addition to supplying body-worn cameras, they provide in-car video systems and evidence management software.
