We often get asked 'should I get cameras or an Alarm system?"  

Both systems offer individual benefits and when used together offer the additional security of decentralization - meaning if one system fails the other carries on independently. Using both is an excellent (budget dependent) solution. 

​

The key benefit of Alarm systems is the accuracy of the sensors especially when compared to Camera system motion-sensing abilities.  Alarm systems also use landline/cellphone notifications which generally are faster, less prone to tampering and more reliable than camera systems internet notifications.

The key benefit of Camera systems is viewing in real-time or recorded footage what actually has or is taking place, evidence of activities and identities.

So using both technologies gives you the benefits of both.

​

Can a Camera system act as an alarm system? Its possible with our Camera systems to add PIR Alarm Sensors giving you the accuracy benefits and evidential benefits in the one system
