The Island Cove Strata Originally Island Cove had 11 Analog Cameras connected to a 3xlogics software program. To make use of the existing cable we upgraded the 11 cameras to 2 Megapixel HD. We then ran the cable for 11 additional cameras. 3 of the new cameras are 2 MP HD cameras, 5 are 4 MP IP cameras and another 3 are 12 MP panoramic cameras that can view 360 degrees as well as under the camera. The cameras are all connected to a Canadian built i3 recorder capable of recording up to 64 cameras.

Camera systems are not just for security sometimes they solve very small problems. If you have had a security camera system for a while there is a good chance some one has used it to figure out where they left something. We have often used our system to find out who left equipment or a mess where they shouldn't have. I recently had a call to one of my good customers (aren't they all). Because it was spring break some of the children of staff members were in the business ...and one of them had apparently set off the silent alarm resulting in a visit from the local police. All of the children were denying setting off the alarm and of course the parents claimed they weren't as concerned with the alarm being set off as the children lying about it. Even though it was late on a Friday afternoon I was in the area and dropped by to help with the video review. I would like to report that we caught the culprit but am even happier to report that the children were all innocent, none of them was near the alarm. The button was either pressed accidentally by one of the clerks or there is a fault in the alarm system that I should mention was not installed by us.

We are just finishing a new Tim Horton's in Sechelt. This is a 16 camera system with megapixel IP cameras. In this case the cameras are connected to a Solink recording system. Solink is a very effective system for controlling internal theft and greatly reduces the potential that your network can be hacked through your recording system. For a bonus it's Canadian manufactured.

We recently upgraded this Supervalue. They had 30 existing analog cameras and were very disappointed with the large company that had provided the system. The supplier refused to service them without them having a service con tract.. We replaced their 2 recorders with one i3 recorder (our favorite), we upgraded 13 cameras to 2 megapixel resolution HD cameras and added 6 4 MP IP cameras including on the street.
