Here at PL Systems we lead the way in the design, development and application of CCTV, with cameras fulfilling functions from retail security to securing commercial sites.

All our systems record onto digital recorders. These have substantial benefits for end users, from their flexibility of operation to bottom line economics.

They also consistently outperform multiplexer/VCR combinations on numerous accounts. One being maintenance - cleaning VCR heads - and then there is no longer the headache of having to constantly change tapes.

In fact, with the advent of low cost high capacity disk drives, the latest digital systems are more than capable of recording for as many days as a user’s data protection policy stipulates before being overwritten, removing the requirement for a tape library altogether. Incidents are recorded onto CD or DVD.

CCTV applications:

• Record any person entering your premises
• Recording production lines in factories
• Visual verification of visitors (commercial or domestic)
• Remotely monitor a commercial site off site 24 hours a day
• Monitor and protect stock levels
• View live pictures from home or anywhere in the world.

PL Systems specialises in remotely monitored CCTV systems. These system come into their own on large and exposed sites out of hours, for example a commercial unit on a business park, where attacks by hardened criminals and petty vandals can pose real problems. In operation, cameras and detectors placed strategically around an area are linked to a RVRC (Remote Video Response Centre) ten or even hundreds of miles away.

In the RVRC, specially trained operators can provide 24 hour event-driven monitoring of a specified area, even issuing verbal warnings (via on-site horn speakers) to intruders. Experience suggests that this step alone is a sufficient deterrent in over 90% of incidents. Where offenders are more determined, then operators can alert the emergency services and keyholders.
