Video Surveillance

Video surveillance, more commonly referred to as “CCTV”, is a system of cameras, recorders, cables and switches. There are various types of video surveillance systems on the market and choosing the correct type for your application is important as the selection will greatly impact your budget, the quality of the images and the overall functionality. For example, a local pizza parlor generally doesn’t require the advanced functionality that a casino or transportation hub would.

Synchronized Clock Systems

A synchronized clock system provides the exact same time to all clocks in the system. The synchronized clock system typically consists of a “master clock” and multiple “secondary clocks.” The master clock communicates with all the secondary clocks providing the entire system the exact same time, so no matter where you are in the building the time shown by all clocks will be uniform and accurate.

Sound Reinforcement / Pro-Sound

Sound Reinforcement or Pro-Sound is an electronic system comprising of multiple microphones, amplifiers, loudspeakers, and related equipment and used to increase the volume of voice, musical instrument, or sound source. These systems are used in any venue that requires that a sound source be sufficiently audible at a distance or over a large area like sports stadiums, public transportation facilities, as well as music venues and event facilities.

Mass Notification

A Mass Notification System (MNS) is a multi-modal platform that broadcasts non-fire information to a large group of people. Groups of people can be, for example: college/university staff and students, employees in a multi-building or multi-site environment, residents of a community, and so forth. Effective MNS’ tend to broadcast the message in multiple formats (multi-modal). Though there are many variations, typically, messages are sent via email, text, telephone call and sometimes posts to social media. Messages sent via MNS’ are generally messages that contain critical messages with important information.
