Video surveillance 24/7 protection

Continuous protection — explained simply.

24/7 protection

This guide explains, in plain terms, our approach to video surveillance: high-definition IP cameras paired with video analytics, to monitor your premises continuously, understand what is happening and intervene quickly when needed.

Whether to deter intrusions, monitor a sensitive access point or keep an eye on your premises remotely, this solution provides active protection, day and night. This document explains what our offering includes, without unnecessary jargon.

High-definition IP cameras

What is an IP camera?

Unlike older analogue cameras, an IP camera transmits a digital image directly over the network, which allows for higher image quality, more flexible installation and simple remote access from a phone or computer.

Why high definition changes everything

Reliable identification : faces, licence plates and details remain legible, even when zooming into a recording.
Better night vision : modern sensors keep a usable image in low light.
Optimized coverage : fewer cameras are often enough to cover the same space, thanks to a sharper field of view.

A choice of cameras to match your needs

Dome cameras : discreet, suited to interior spaces and thoroughfares.
Bullet cameras : visible and deterrent, suited to exteriors and entrances.
Panoramic cameras : cover wide areas such as a parking lot or a courtyard.

Video analytics: understanding what the camera sees

Beyond recording

Video analytics uses artificial intelligence to analyze images in real time, rather than simply recording them. The camera does more than film: it detects and interprets what is happening in its field of view.

Precise detection

People and vehicle detection : distinguishes a person from an animal or moving branches, limiting false alarms.
Virtual line crossing : triggers an alert if someone crosses a defined area, such as a fence or an entrance.
Intrusion into a defined zone : flags any presence within a sensitive perimeter, even outside opening hours.
Abandoned or removed object : spots an object left behind or missing from a monitored location.

This detection filters out what matters, rather than watching hours of recordings in search of one specific event.

See, understand and intervene in real time

Immediate alerts

When a relevant event is detected, an alert is sent immediately, with a video clip or an image, to your phone or to a monitoring centre, depending on the plan chosen.

Remote access at all times

Live images and recordings can be viewed remotely, from an app or a browser, letting you check the situation in seconds, wherever you are.

A fast response

Immediate visual verification before calling emergency services or travelling to the site.
Optional 24/7 human monitoring, with intervention or a call to the authorities if an event is confirmed.
Retention of recordings as evidence, should an incident be confirmed.

Video surveillance

What this approach gives you

Clarity

High-definition images that let you clearly identify what is happening, by day as well as by night.

Relevance

Video analytics filters for genuinely important events, avoiding an overload of false alarms.

Responsiveness

Real-time alerts and remote access allow a fast response as soon as an event warrants it.

Continuity

Active protection at all times, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, with no blind spots in the monitoring.

Client guide

Our process, step by step

1
Site assessment: identifying the areas to cover and the blind spots to eliminate.
2
Design: selecting the cameras and their optimal positioning for each area.
3
Analytics configuration: defining sensitive zones and the relevant detection types.
4
Installation and connection to the network and the recording system.
5
Commissioning: testing alerts and remote access and, where applicable, activating 24/7 human monitoring.

Video surveillance

Glossary

The technical terms in this guide, one sentence each.

IP camera: A camera that transmits a digital image over the network, offering better quality and remote access.
Video analytics: Automated image analysis by artificial intelligence, to detect specific events in real time.
Virtual line: A boundary drawn digitally on the image; crossing it triggers an alert.
False alarm: A notification triggered by an irrelevant event, such as an animal or moving vegetation.
24/7 human monitoring: A service in which operators monitor the cameras continuously and intervene if an event is confirmed.
Recording: Retention of captured images, available for later review, notably as evidence in case of an incident.
