Video Security

Multi Megapixel Resolution

The days of grainy, black and white video surveillance footage are long gone. Southwest Security Solutions provides video surveillance cameras in a variety of resolutions up to 8.0 MP (4K) that provide outstanding full color image quality, even in the most challenging lighting environments.

Many people don’t realize how important camera resolution is, until they need to put their video images to use. If an incident were to occur, the forensic detail required for facial identification is absolutely essential to being able to provide court-admissible evidence. The better your video evidence, the more likely you are to prove your case and recover your assets.

Our cameras consistently provide excellent HD image quality, regardless of lighting conditions and the size and characteristics of the monitored area – all while minimizing bandwidth and storage space requirements.

Superior Low Light Performance

Break-ins often happen at night, especially if the perpetrator is targeting a business. This is because criminals tend to focus on a target when they think no one will be present. If you were to become the victim of a break-in or burglary and your cameras employed outdated technology, you could incur significant losses if your video surveillance system failed to capture the intruder’s identifying details.

At Southwest Security Solutions, our video surveillance cameras are engineered with the latest processors, image chipsets, and infrared technology to deliver uncompromising low-light and nighttime performance. Our cameras are equipped with advanced infrared (IR) technology, to deliver ultra-crisp images in low light to complete darkness. These powerful features also deliver up to 30% energy savings over standard IR technology.

Weather and Impact Protection

Outdoor video surveillance cameras need to perform 24/7/365, no matter what the weather conditions. With video security cameras from Southwest Security Solutions, you never have to worry about weather being an issue. Our cameras’ rugged metal enclosures carry an IP67 weather protection rating, with an operating temperature range of -40o to 140 o F.

And for cameras in locations that may be vulnerable to vandalism or tampering, we offer vandalproof dome cameras with IK10 rated impact resistance, to ensure continuous delivery of high quality video.

Multiple Channels

Whether you’re searching for a video surveillance system for your home or business, you may find it beneficial to have a system that utilizes multiple channels. For example, homeowners may want to switch between viewing indoors and outdoors, while business owners may want to have channels recording the front desk, the retail floor and the stock room.

Whatever your needs may be, Southwest Security Solutions can help you choose a video recording solution that supports whichever number of cameras you need for your application. Additionally, we can help you prepare for the future. We can put a system in place that makes it easy to add cameras as your home or business needs expand, helping to reduce installation costs and time in the future. Doing so enables you to get the most out of your security investment.

Multiple Recording Modes

Home and business owners have different video surveillance needs. Because no two video surveillance applications are alike, Southwest Security Solutions offers multiple recording modes to best suit your needs. Some home or business owners may prefer to have continuous recording, giving them the peace of mind that they are capturing video footage 24/7. Others may prefer to have scheduled recordings enabled, such as when no one is at home, or after hours when burglaries are most likely to occur in the workplace. A third option is for motion-detection recording, which will begin recording whenever a motion sensor detects movement in a targeted area.

Deciding on which type of recording mode you prefer is an important step in determining the best video surveillance system for your application. The recording mode you choose can help us figure out how much storage you’ll need and the type of cameras and recorders you’ll need. All of these factors will impact your budget, so we’ll work with you to come up with a system that falls within your price range.

H.265 Video Compression

If you were to store many weeks’ or months’ worth of HD video, you would need a tremendous amount of storage space. Fortunately, Southwest Security Solutions offers recorders that feature H.265 video compression, to help reduce the storage space you need to keep your critical video files on hand. Many home and business owners prefer to store all of their captured surveillance for at least a few weeks, in case any issues were to arise and they need to go back and review the footage.

H.265 technology makes this possible because it reduces the size of your video files, which reduces your hard drive storage requirements. You’ll still have access to crisp, clean images, but won’t have to worry about investing most of your budget into storage space. By utilizing H.265 video compression, you can dedicate sufficient funds to purchasing high-quality cameras and know that you’ll still be able to keep weeks’ worth of video footage on file.

Remote and Mobile Access

Southwest Security Solutions is proud to offer remote monitoring and mobile access to all of our clients in the Austin, TX area. Remote monitoring enables you to view your video from a web browser or iOS or Android mobile device. Knowing that you can check in on your home or business at any time can help give you peace of mind. Whether you receive an email alert or you just want to check in and see what’s happening, you can log in on your laptop, tablet, or cell phone and see a live view of your cameras' feeds.

Multiple Recording Modes

Your recording needs may change throughout the day. For example, a homeowner or a business owner may want a continuous feed while they are present in their home or office, but a motion-sensor feed once they leave for the day. These recording modes may vary day-to-day. With our systems, you can control the recording modes remotely, changing them in a flash from your laptop or mobile device.

Email and Mobile Alerts

It's not feasible to sit in front of a laptop or phone all day watching live-streams of your camera feeds, which is why we offer email and mobile alert technology. Many of our video security solutions can send an alert to your email or mobile device if anything suspicious were to occur. This allows you to react to an incident in real-time. You can either log in to view your camera feeds, or call your local authorities to stop the culprits in their tracks.

Set the Schedule

Not only can you look at your camera’s feeds while you’re away, you can also control your cameras remotely. For example, if you forget to turn a camera on before you leave your business for the evening, you can log in to your mobile app and activate it. You can do the same for your home if, for instance, you are meeting friends for dinner and will be home later than usual.

Integration

At Southwest Security Solutions, we also provide fully integrated security systems, connecting your video surveillance system to other aspects of your home or business security plan. For example, we can link your video surveillance system to your motion-detector system and give you access to everything from a remote device. You can use the same system that you use for your security cameras to control all of your other home or business security measures. If you usually set your motion sensors to turn on at 8:00pm but know you are going to be home later than usual, you can change the activation time from your mobile device or computer to help prevent you from setting off the alarm when you return.
