Security Camera Systems

e-Line offers video surveillance systems that are adaptable and customizable for solutions large and small.

Analog Technology

Analog video security systems are reliable, cost effective, and user-friendly. Companies who need basic surveillance, with good quality video, at a limited number of locations will find Analog CCTV to be a good choice.

Analog systems are limited to VGA resolution cameras but when integrated into a hybrid Analog-SDI system you have an option to place an HD SDI where high resolution is needed. Analog cameras can also be part of a hybrid Analog-IP system. This is often the most logical and economical way to move to IP video.

  • Easy to install
  • Uses coaxial cable
  • Uses a DVR
  • Hybrid available with HD-SDI or IP

HD SDI Technology

Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a standard for digital video transmission over coaxial cable - the same cable used for Analog security systems. This makes it easy to convert from Analog to SDI because you don't have to re-cable and you don't need networking knowledge to set up the system. HD SDI has an advantage over Analog systems in that it supports high resolution cameras.

HD SDI cameras can be part of a hybrid Analog-SDI system. Analog cameras are used for locations where VGA resolution is adequate. HD SDI cameras are placed in important areas where you may need to zoom in to see faces, license plate numbers, or other detail. This makes for a cost efficient surveillance system.

  • Easy to install
  • Uses coaxial cable
  • Uses a DVR
  • Hybrid available with Analog

IP Technology

IP/Network surveillance systems offer advanced features over analog systems such as HD video, wireless systems, and advanced management software.

IP systems support high resolution MegaPixel cameras needed for license plate recognition, defined faces, and other important detail. Companies who have many locations, need high resolution video, want advanced video technologies such as analytics, or have the need for remote surveillance, will find IP/Network camera systems to be a good choice.

  • Advanced features
  • Uses ethernet Cat5/Cat6 cable
  • Uses networked PCs with a Network Video Recorder (NVR)
  • Hybrid available with Analog

Cloud IP Technology

Cloud video surveillance is based on communication between a camera's internal video storage and an internet server. This eliminates the need for a DVR or NVR, and makes your system adaptable and inexpensive.

e-Line's Sniper Cloud Cameras store video locally and streams video through a cloud portal on demand. This enables higher video resolutions and eliminates bandwidth issues experienced at other cloud surveillance providers. Users can access video from any device with an internet browser.

  • Simple to install
  • Cameras store video internally (No DVR is needed)
  • Uses ethernet Cat5/Cat6 to connect to router (wireless option available)
  • Free cloud portal (web page)  to view video over internet
