Commercial Security Cameras
HD Commercial Grade Security Cameras that deliver results when you need them. For the long-haul…
Analog vs. HD Surveillance Cameras
The unfortunate reality is that even in 2019 we still see on the news ‘caught on camera’ video surveillance recordings of pixelated, blurry and even in some cases black and white surveillance evidence. There are a ton of options as it relates to which is the best surveillance camera for your business but it all boils down putting the right product in place to be successful. Do not settle for pixelated, grainy footage or even sub-par surveillance. High definition security cameras are worth the investment for large and small businesses, because what is the point of installing security cameras without the identification of faces and license plates.
Panoramic Surveillance Camera
This camera has several on-board sensors.
Typical configurations are a dual-sensor which is perfect for hallways in most commercial applications, quad sensor best used indoors in large areas, and adjustable multi-sensor cameras which have each sensor pointed to a different direction and optical zoom ratio looking at different areas both near and far.
- Several on board sensors
- Dual Sensor & Quad Sensor Options
- Adjustable Multi Sensor Capabilities that can point in customization directions
- Auto-Focus lens capability with near and far focal length
- Ability to add an integrated pan-tilt-zoom camera for the best of both works (situational awareness and forensic detail)
Fisheye 360-degree Surveillance Camera
This camera has the ability to record a 180 or 360-degree field of view at all times.
This reduces the number of cameras required to provide surveillance of all areas. Fisheye cameras have a single sensor and utilize a fisheye lens. These cameras rely on dewarping software to correct the fisheye circular image and enable pan-tilt-zoom of the live and recorded images. They ultimately ensure no detail slips away without notice considering the wide field of adaptable view.
- 180 & 360 Degree Field of View
- Single Sensor
Dual Sensor Surveillance Camera
Dual Sensor cameras provide high quality footage, but do not have an overkill of capabilities and ultimately are very cost effective.
These cameras provide value through being placed in well-lit interior areas and are effective most commonly in intersecting and L-shaped hall ways as well as small lobbies.
- High Quality Footage
- Cost Effective
- Exceptional in Hallways & Small Lobbies
Multi-Sensor Repositionable Surveillance Cameras
These cameras traditionally only used outdoor combine the best of both works the ‘overview’ of the 4x panoramic sensors and the optical zoom of the PTZ that can get detail at long distances.
Multi-sensor cameras are equipped with a wide range of video analytics. These include adaptive motion detection, camera sabotage, object or people counting, removed object detection, and a variety of other intelligences. All of these functions send out alerts for any unusual or abnormal activity.
Multi-Sensor with PTZ Extension- These cameras traditionally only used outdoor combine the best of both works the ‘overview’ of the 4x panoramic sensors and the optical zoom of the PTZ that can get detail at long distances.
Multi-sensor cameras with built-in video analytics can alert operators to events in real time, allowing them to view only those areas of importance that request their attention.
- Equipped with Video Analytic Software
- Adaptive Motion Detection
- Camera Sabotage Detection
- Object & People Counting
- Object Removal Detection
- Alerts for Abnormal Activity
- Multi-Sensor with PTZ Extension
High Definition (Fixed or Directional) Surveillance Cameras
HD cameras serve an exceptional higher-level security purpose.
These cameras allow for high resolution, unpixellated images. Some of the most important functions they serve are facial and license plate recognition.
- License plate recognition is the use of an image to identify and search for the plate in a database. License plate recognition is generally intended to associate a vehicle with a person, especially by law enforcement and private security agencies.
- Facial recognition makes use of biometric technology that analyzes the characteristics of a person’s face with images recorded from an HD surveillance video camera. This component of security provides instant alerts and feedback and leaves the subjects entirely unaware of the process.

Kane County Judicial Center
“After our initial review from Umbrella a lot of my concerns about our new upgraded video surveillance system equipment was validated and unfortunately the major investment we made did not bring our system into the future but ended-up setting us back.
After we began working with Umbrella they created a long-term strategy to work within our budget while establishing a video surveillance software platform which not-only gave us a much more robust evidence search review but installed High Definition cameras on our exterior which was a night and day quality from what we had previously.”
