IP CCTV Systems

IP CCTV is a camera system that carries video over the network, records it and lets authorized people watch it from anywhere. We place cameras according to your building’s blind spots, install them on an infrastructure that keeps recordings for as long as you need, and keep the system running after commissioning.

WHAT IT DELIVERS

What it adds to your building

  • 01

    No blind spots.

    We decide camera positions on site, not on the drawing. What each camera will see, and how clearly, is known before installation.

  • 02

    The recording is there when you need it.

    We size storage by the number of cameras, the resolution and the retention period you set. No footage is lost because a disk filled up.

  • 03

    Secure monitoring from anywhere.

    Video can be watched from the control room, a phone or another branch. We set this up over a secure connection, not by exposing cameras to the internet.

  • 04

    It talks to other systems.

    The camera system can work integrated with access control and fire detection. When a door is forced, the view from the related camera comes up on screen automatically.

SCOPE

What is included?

Components we install in an IP CCTV project:

  • Indoor and outdoor IP cameras (dome, bullet, PTZ, fisheye)
  • Thermal cameras where needed: for darkness, fog and large perimeter areas
  • PoE switches: network devices that supply a camera with both data and power over one cable
  • NVR or server-based recording system, RAID storage
  • Video management software (VMS), monitoring center and video wall
  • Structured cabling, with a fiber backbone where needed
  • UPS for recording continuity
  • User authorization, remote access and mobile monitoring

PROCESS

How we build it

  1. Site survey

    We walk the site and record entrances and exits, blind spots, lighting conditions and the existing infrastructure.

  2. Field of view design

    We set a purpose for each camera: monitoring an area, recognizing a person or reading a license plate? Camera type, lens and resolution are chosen for that purpose.

  3. Infrastructure and installation

    Cabling, PoE switches, the recording system and camera mounting.

  4. Commissioning and testing

    Fields of view, night images, recording and remote access are tested on site and documented in a report.

  5. Handover and maintenance

    We train users and set up a scheduled maintenance plan.

TECHNICAL NOTES

What we look at in the design

Purpose, not resolution

How many megapixels a camera has says little on its own. What matters is how many pixels the target covers in the image. We select cameras using the DORI criteria in the IEC 62676-4 standard: Detection, Observation, Recognition and Identification. For example, the camera needed to read license plates at a parking entrance is very different from the one needed for an overview of the same parking lot.

Storage sizing

Recording time depends on the number of cameras, resolution, frame rate, compression (such as H.265) and the amount of motion in the scene. We size storage with these variables and protect it against disk failure with RAID.

Network and cyber security

Cameras are network devices and must be protected as such. We keep camera traffic in a separate network segment (VLAN), change default passwords, keep firmware up to date and provide remote access over a secure connection without exposing cameras to the internet.

KVKK

Camera recordings are personal data. Posting privacy notice signs in monitored areas, who can access recordings and how long they are kept should be set by your organization’s policy under KVKK (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698). We install the system so you can apply these decisions: authorization, access logs and automatic deletion by retention period. (Legal assessment is the responsibility of your organization’s legal counsel.)

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between IP cameras and analog cameras?

An IP camera sends video digitally over the network; an analog camera depends on a separate cable and recorder. IP systems offer higher resolution, can be powered over a single cable (PoE) and are easy to expand on the existing network infrastructure.

How long should CCTV recordings be kept?

There is no single correct period. The retention period is set by the purpose of the recording and your organization’s retention policy; KVKK requires that data is not kept longer than necessary. We size storage capacity for the period you set.

Can we move to IP without replacing our existing analog cameras?

Yes. With hybrid recorders or video encoders, we can connect your existing analog cameras to the IP system and make the transition in phases, according to your budget.

Can we monitor the cameras remotely?

Yes. Video can be watched from a phone, a computer or another location. We set this up over an encrypted, authorized connection, not by exposing cameras directly to the internet.

When do you need a thermal camera?

When people and vehicles must be detected in complete darkness, in fog or over very large areas. Facility perimeter security, power plants and logistics yards are typical uses.

Do you provide maintenance after installation?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance covers camera cleaning and angle checks, disk health, recording tests and software updates. Details are on the Maintenance and Support page.
