Phone Remote Viewing

The number one question asked by our potential clients is if our surveillance systems can be watched over the internet using a smart phone (also known as remote viewing your security cameras). Our response it not only YES you can watch your cameras and a lot more! Over the past 15 years we have seen this software make leaps and bounds in the quality of video and features available when accessing your surveillance cameras from an off-site location. Most potential customers don’t know that the majority of phone AP’s used to view their security cameras aren’t that great and are limited in what they can do.

At Protec we have been to over a 50 security trade shows and seen over 1000 types of surveillance cameras and recorders. At those trade shows it was the same old story. The products were great but the remote viewing software on the phones, IPad, laptop, etc. was subpar. The remote viewing was pixelated and choppy with no way to adjust the video stream. There was no option to play back recorded video from the recorder and the options were nonexistent.

About 8 years ago in 2010, we stopped by a booth at an IP surveillance tradeshow in Vegas. We connected our phones to a test site for their remote viewing demo. We were amazed at how fast, smooth, and clear the security cameras were showing on our smartphones. As we walked through the various features the phone AP had to offer, we knew we had to start carrying this ViewStar surveillance line. Within seconds we were able to stream a recorded event from a month back in High Definition. The audio was crystal clear in one of the demo hidden microphones they had set up in the back. Another option was the ability to zoom in on the picture during live and playback modes. Other features included controlling a Pan tilt Zoom camera. With one click that PTZ camera could zoom in a half mile to read a license plate. As of 2019 we still use this software. Every couple months the software gets updated with new features and we are always impressed with the new features they add at each trade show.

If you’re like most of our clients, you want to be able to watch your security system in Fresno even when you’re in a different city or state. With this ViewStar AP phone software you can check for false alarms, monitor staff and inventory, and control the entire system from your phone or laptop like you were in front of the security system itself. Give us a call and we will set you up with an actual demo for you to test out.
