Vandal resistant CCTV we can deliver.

Vandal proof is just a promise too far – no sensible CCTV manufacturer or installer would ever offer “vandal-proof” products.

There is no end to the amount of force that might potentially be used.

Some manufacturers will state their claim e.g. “proven to withstand a blow from a 10lb sledge hammer”.

I recall, when vandal-resistant dome cameras first became available (some years ago) one manufacturer had a rig on their exhibition stand that allowed you to lift and drop a hinged sledge hammer repeatedly onto their dome camera’s bubble!

Another manufacturer (or was it the same manufacturer?) made a video of a truck driving over their camera to show that it could survive this extreme treatment.

However, I once attended a client’s site after a vandal had struck a camera mounted to the ceiling of a subway with a five foot concrete fence post – it did not survive that!

The ultimate in this particular game is “ballistically tested” – as you can see from above, nobody will ever claim that they have manufactured a bullet-proof camera!

Megapixel CCTV cameras are often dismissed as an expensive technology, beyond the budgets of ordinary end-user applications.

Take a look at this video clip from the ACTi ACM-4200 Megapixel Cube Camera.

It’s a 1.3 Megapixel network camera. 1.3 megapixels is three times the image resolution of the traditional CCTV cameras watching over your Reception area or shop!

Simply connect it to the nearest network point and record the video on a PC (ACTi provide their NVR Professional video recording software free-of-charge on a CD in the box with each camera – for use with up to 64 cameras!).

Dome cameras deliver everything you need in one easy-to-install package.
