Not All Surveillance Cameras Require Internet Connection

July 26th, 2023



Internet protocol (IP) security cameras are very popular right now for security surveillance. Using IP, you can monitor, record and access your footage easily. IP cameras are easy to install with no costly wiring or damage to your property. However, if you have a property such as farm outbuildings that have no internet, what are your options then? Well, thanks to modern technology, you do have some options.

 

Video Surveillance Without Internet

 

We have gotten so accustomed to the idea of having the internet available that we forget there are parts of our country that have either limited or no access to the internet. Some areas that may not have internet access can be a vacation cabin or home, storage facilities outside of city limits, or even commercial operations that are not near any cities. In these areas, security is just as important to protect the properties, but not as accessible. So, to protect those buildings, a solution that does not require the internet is needed.

 

Internet Free Security Technology

 

Security camera technology continues to make major advancements, luckily not all of that technology is reliant on internet protocol. One option available that is just as technologically advanced and does not require the internet is the HD-over coax surveillance camera. HD-over-coax offers the same high resolution recording as IP security cameras but transmits their footage over analog coax cables instead of the internet. They connect right to a digital video recorder and use the same type of software interface to record and playback the footage.

 

Other Advantages Of HD-Over-Coax Cameras

 

There are several advantages to HD-over-coax surveillance cameras besides not needing the internet, including the following:

 

  • HD-over-coax is available in 1080p high definition
  • They are easy to upgrade from analog camera systems because they use the same cables
  • HD-over-coax cost less than IP cameras
  • They can transmit footage over 500 feet in distance

 

HD-over-coax also requires less storage capacity than other camera systems. They are a great option when you are trying to protect a property that does not have internet access. The best part about HD-over-coax cameras is that they provide the same high definition footage as the latest IP security cameras but without the system requirements. As a result, you will be able to effectively protect your property from intruders or harm.

We understand that not every property has the same security requirements. What works for someone else may not work for you. Our company does not use a one-size-fits-all solution to meet your security needs. We prefer to work one-on-one with you, identify your security risks, and develop a customized solution to keep your property protected. Whether you are looking for the latest in IP cameras or need a surveillance solution for your remote property, we have you covered. Give us a call to get the security you need for your property at a price you can fit into your budget. You deserve to be safe and secure, with or without internet service.

What Our Customers Say

"I had the Alibi system installed several years ago. It has functioned flawlessly. The image quality is exellent both night and day and in all weather conditions. I particularly like the replay (which can be set at various speeds) and zoom functions of the system. Tech support from Crimefreeliving has been excellent. I have received quick responses to questions, and timely home visits — as when I changed IP carriers and my Alibi system needed to be reset. I have recommended Crimefreeliving to several friends."

Rich

"As a small business owner here in Chico we definitely saw the need for video surveillance. After expressing our needs and concerns Tim did an excellent job getting us set up with the set up with the appropriate equipment. He really took the time to address our concerns in a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend Tim for all of your business and residential video surveillance needs."

Ron H., Owner/Auto Doctor

"I have to say I love having my security cameras at my home. Tim Truby did a wonderful job of installing the five cameras. He is very neat and cleaned everything up after the installation. He explained to me how to operate the monitor, my phone and IPad. However, I have had to call Tim because I'm not tech savvy and forget what he has told me. He usually just helps me over the phone and then all is well. I'm 80 years old and enjoy the comfort of knowing I have these security cameras."

Gloria

"Tim Truby designed and installed a 32 camera system for us here at the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District. We had received several other quotes from security system vendors, but Tim’s quote was the least expensive. Tim also installed the system quickly and has always been available when we needed him. We are very happy with our security camera system and we can highly recommend Tim Truby for all of your surveillance system needs."

D. Weseman, Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District

Crime Free Living updated our old video system with a new 16 Channel HD Alibi Video Security System. The old system had been added onto by different installers which resulted in a cabling mess. There were cables that worked and cables that went nowhere. It was a mess. Tim sorted it all out and installed cameras that are very clear. He also installed a monitor for our cashiers to watch hidden areas, a monitor to watch the entry door, and a monitor that allows employees to watch the outside parking and gas pump area. All work was done on time and very professional! Will always recommend Tim and Crime Free Living.

S. AM PM Chico Arco Station

"I had Tim install an Alibi Video Security System at my residence and a couple business locations. The remote view option is invaluable to absentee owners or anyone who travels a lot. The clarity and quality of the cameras have allowed for viewing employee theft. The evidence provided from the HD video cameras was fantastic! Tim was professional and provided extra value from his law enforcement background."

J. Folsom Arco Station

"Tim, I want to thank you again for doing such a fantastic job on installing a wireless IP security camera system at our dream home. The extra time that you took to hide wires, and install a clean, professional system is much appreciated. I still can’t believe the clarity, quality, and ease of use of this new system. I wished that I would have met you before our original inferior system was installed by another company. Now, whether I am at home, or monitoring the system from around the world, I know that my home and family are safe and sound."

John M.

"In April of 2017, my husband and I made a phone call to Crime Free Living that turned out to be a smart and wise decision. Amazingly, in just a few hours, Tim installed four Dome Security Cameras, weatherproof enclosures, and hooked up into our home a 23" Full HD Widescreen Security Monitor. Even more than his professional expertise was the time spent with us in making sure that this system was working correctly and properly installed on our phones so that anywhere in our travels we can monitor our new home in Magalia."

Tieka and Don S.

"I have been using Crime Free Living for the last couple years ar work and at home and I really recommend this product. Tim is a very good service provider. If he can't figure it out, he's got good tech support with the system that he offers."

Gary D.

"I have known Tim for over 10 years. To date, Time with Crime Free Living has installed two separate surveillance systems for my company. With each system, Tim has listened to my needs and custom dsigned surveillance systems for my specific needs and within my budget. The equipment used is always state of the art, the workmanship is top notch, and Tim is the example of trustworthy. I would recommend him for any job."
