Disconnecting surveillance equipment can create immediate security gaps. Many property owners don’t realize how critical uninterrupted monitoring is until an incident occurs. The effects vary between wired and wireless systems, but both lose live monitoring when powered down. In Singapore, where crime prevention relies heavily on CCTV networks, such disruptions weaken protection. Evidence collection also […]
Keeping your security system operational is crucial for safety. In Singapore, over a million CCTV cameras monitor public and private spaces, yet nearly half may not function properly. A non-working camera creates gaps in surveillance, leaving properties vulnerable. Modern systems like the Reolink Altas PT Ultra offer 4K recording and night vision, but even advanced […]
Many people wonder if security devices continue capturing footage after losing electricity. The truth is simple: no power means no recording. Most systems rely on constant energy sources to function properly. Advanced models may include backup batteries for short-term operation during outages. However, these exceptions don’t change the basic rule. Once deactivated, standard equipment stops […]
Security systems play a crucial role in protecting homes and businesses, especially in Singapore, where theft cases rose by 25% in 2023. A common concern is whether surveillance cameras continue working during power outages. Most standard setups stop functioning without electricity unless they have backup solutions. Advanced setups, like AI-enabled cameras and PoE (Power over […]
Hikvision stands as a global leader in video surveillance, shaping the security industry for over two decades. Since its founding in 2001, the company has expanded to 190+ countries, securing homes, businesses, and public spaces with cutting-edge technology. With $12.42 billion in annual revenue—27% from international markets—its influence is undeniable. From Singapore’s HDB blocks to […]
Network video recorders (NVRs) are the backbone of modern security systems, storing and managing footage from IP cameras. Their durability directly impacts surveillance reliability. Most units operate effectively for 3-10 years, with premium brands like Hikvision and Dahua often exceeding five years. Several factors influence how long these devices remain functional. Build quality, environmental conditions, […]
Modern security systems rely heavily on network video recorders (NVRs) to store and manage surveillance footage. These devices play a crucial role in keeping homes and businesses safe. But how long do they typically last? Most NVRs function efficiently for 3 to 10 years, depending on usage, quality, and environmental factors. In Singapore’s tropical climate, […]
Singapore is taking significant steps to enhance safety and security in its building projects. Starting June 2024, new regulations will require video surveillance systems for projects with contracts worth $5 million or more. These systems must meet specific standards, including 1080p recording quality and storage for 30 to 180 days. The need for 24/7 monitoring […]
Construction sites face unique challenges, especially when it comes to safety and theft prevention. In Singapore, large projects are required to implement Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) to ensure compliance and enhance security. Over the past 12 years, more than 240 time-lapse devices have been used in construction projects across Singapore and Malaysia, showcasing their effectiveness. […]
Starting June 2024, Singapore will enforce mandatory Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) for construction projects exceeding $5 million. This move aims to enhance security and reduce incidents on construction sites. Studies show that implementing such systems can lead to an 80% reduction in theft and a 70% decrease in unauthorized access. The demand for advanced monitoring […]
