We provide wired and wireless security systems that can be a stand alone system or a monitored system that will dispatch emergencey personel when an alarm is triggered. We also provide video surveillance that can be recorded and stored to a DVR and viewed over the internet from remote locations. This is a great option to keep tabs on your business when you're away from work.
Comprehensive protection services for your home or business — from a single source
At Wireless Connections, we take an integrated approach to both home security and business security, offering comprehensive solutions for burglary, fire and personal emergency protection.
So how do we integrate these security services? To understand comprehensive security coverage for your home or business, it's important to understand the concept of monitoring. Professionally designing and installing a system is only half the plan — it's the monitoring of the system that provides the most complete security coverage. When your system responds to a security or fire situation, it automatically contacts our network, where our highly-trained dispatchers field the call according to your pre-established instructions that often include sending the appropriate local authority.
It's this integrated approach, from system design to installation to monitoring, that makes Wireless Connections your best choice for home and business security coverage

Video Surveillance
Digital Video Surveillance
The wave of the future in video surveillance is in digital video surveillance systems. Besides fighting terrorism, digital security systems installed in public places, buses, or retail centers can deter crime, provide the police with leads, help citizens feel safer, and improve the economy of a crime-stricken area. These IP-based systems not only capture precise images, they do so in a way that is scalable within a company's current IP network with pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras that are fast and sophisticated.
These digital surveillance systems can cost upwards of a million dollars since they include the digital surveillance cameras and the requisite connection to the IP-based network. Although the cost of these systems is much greater than traditional CCTV surveillance systems, the advantages of using Internet surveillance systems far outweigh their initial start-up costs and most company's CCTV analog systems have now gone digital for improved performance, surveillance camera maneuverability, and quick user feedback.
How digital surveillance systems work
A digital security system consists of hardware and software components that collect and transmit the surveillance camera information via wireless technologies, fiber optic cable or over any IP-based network. Both power and data can be carried on the same cable by using PoE (power over Ethernet). Some cameras in a digital system may also have their own IP address for full access to the Internet. These surveillance images are then transferred to a PC or laptop in a centralized control room to be viewed by an observer using a compact, flat-screen monitor that offers multi-screen displays. An IP-based digital system is unlike the traditional closed CCTV system, whose images must be monitored using multiple monitors, sites and personnel.
The digital system can store surveillance data onto DVRs (digital video recorders), some of which can store data up to 10 weeks -- far more than CCTV analog systems. After the DVR has backed up the images, they can be exported to discs using the CD-RW drive, and then they can be sent to remote PCs, laptops, or handheld devices within moments via the network. Digital recording is done 24/7, without the need for cumbersome CCTV videotapes that have limited storage capacities.
Key returns when you replace your CCTV system with a digital surveillance system
When a company or government chooses to invest in digital surveillance systems, they need to invest the time in finding out how large an area needs to be watched, as well as the area's situational parameters. A digital system requires a large capital investment up front, but it is guaranteed to produce a positive ROI if the cameras are properly placed and if the images are consistently monitored.
One of the reasons for the increased cost of the digital systems over CCTV lies in the hi-tech cameras, which greatly surpass the analog CCTV cameras. The cameras have features ranging from fixed models to direction-controlled or dome models with automatic pan, tilt and zoom functions that can create sharp images in the 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution range. With the extra zooming and panning capabilities, one security camera can do the work of five, which is more efficient in the long run.
And on the highest end, there are cameras with infrared capabilities to pick up motion and changes in light regardless of poor lighting conditions. Some these high-end cameras even have 3-D imaging to better identify suspects. Companies investing in the digital system should also consider purchasing camera accessories such as weather-proofing and added material that's resistant to tampering and hazardous substances.
A successful use of an IP-based surveillance system
The Newnan Police Department in Georgia wanted a security system that could accurately capture images in public places, transmit and later archive those images, so they chose a digital security system. The police department mounted its 22 cameras on utility poles owned by Newnan Utilities and purchased the surveillance software from a local vendor, A-Plus Technologies. The officers browsed through the images over the Internet, where they could be retrieved by time, date, location and camera number. In a few months, the digital system helped officers in a drug bust and has also helped the police identify suspect vehicles.
A promising future for IP-based surveillance systems
IP-based surveillance systems will show a lot of growth in the IT and security industries because they offer a scalable, company-owned solution that offers the advantages of flexibility and low cost of ownership. A digital system can be built within an already existing IP network, and this fact will make a company's budget department breathe easier.
