In the past with the need for a hardwired connection to be able to provide quality video transmission we designed our security systems from the centre out.
It was difficult if not impossible to be able to remotely monitor live video. With IP whether over wired networks or wireless we can design from the outside in making it much easier to specify systems to meet with customers requirements than by our requirements being decided by the limitation and costs of cable runs.
With the increased availability and lowering costs of broadband connections remote video monitoring has also now become much more affordable.
