AXIS Security Camera Install at Wright Patterson Air Force Base Fire Department

At Security Cameras of Columbus, we work with every industry. From small business, to non-profit, to enterprise organizations, to the federal government, we strive to meet every customers' needs and budget. We recently completed a comprehensive security camera installation at two fire stations for Wright Patterson Air Force Base. AXIS Communications cameras are the most popular brand for federal and state governments because of their industry leading IP camera technology. For a military installation, network security is of upmost importance. For this particular set-up, we recommended the AXIS P1435-LE HD Bullet Camera, the AXIS M3205-LVE HD Dome Camera, and the AXIS P5655-E HD PTZ Camera. For live view, recording, and easy control, we set-up AXIS Camera Station to manage the system. The team in the communications room uses a joystick and keypad to quickly operate the PTZ cameras, and to easily navigate to PTZ presets.

Capital Park Apartments consists of a large residential area spanning over 20 acres, 300+ housing units, 12 parking lots, and a school. With the help of Security Cameras of Columbus, it is now under high quality video surveillance. One of the most exciting features of this story is that all the cameras are connected back to the central office. Most security companies would install a DVR in every building, and then recommend you pay for internet at each building! We connected each building through the use of Ubiquiti Nanobeam Wireless Radios. Now, there is only one DVR that is centrally located and easily accessible! See below for details. Point-to-Point Wireless Radios Multi-Building, Local Network: Using Ubiquiti technology, we created a vast, local network encompassing 15 separate apartment buildings. Video feeds from over 80 IP cameras are sent over this network back to the central office. Fast, Reliable Connection: Ubiquiti Nanobeam Radios send data multiple miles at a speed of over 500 Mbps. This means a crystal clear video feed, even in poor weather conditions! License Plate Recognition Camera (LPR) An Industry Staple - The Plate Recognition Camera: We strategically installed these cameras so they capture the plate of every vehicle that enters or exits the property. Head-light Compensation: The powerful image sensor inside our LPR Camera is able to process even the brightest headlights so that glare does not impact the picture. With this technology, even at night, every plate is captured. Motorized Optical Zoom: This camera's motorized optical zoom function allows us to zoom the camera in on the property choke points so that we can clearly capture each license plate. Starlight Security Cameras Color at Night: Our Starlight Security Cameras provide colorful and detailed video even in low-light conditions. Color images can mean you have more data to positively identify a suspect. Wide Angle, 5MP Resolution: A single wide angle 5MP security camera can cover a large area while still providing detailed images. Vandal-Resistant Dome Security Cameras Vandal-Dome: Installed inside the apartment buildings, these cameras are within reach of potential vandals. Don't worry, these "IK10" rated domes can take a beating! Up Close and Personal: These high resolution cameras capture a clear image of anyone who enters the apartment buildings.
