Video surveillance for homes and businesses in Vilnius

Professional video surveillance systems designed and installed for homes, offices, warehouses, parking lots, and commercial properties.
Properly selected cameras, lenses, viewing angles, night vision, analytics, and secure recording storage allow for the creation of not just a "set of cameras," but a truly functional security system.

Experience and professional attitude

The video surveillance system must be designed according to the logic of the object, not according to the "number of cameras".
It is important to understand what needs to be seen, at what distance the system must operate, what the lighting conditions will be, whether human identification, general area surveillance, or analytics are required.
An improperly selected lens or camera location can render the system practically useless, even if expensive equipment is used.

Why is there no universal camera

Often, clients expect one camera to be able to:
– see the entire area
– recognize faces
– read license plates
– work well at night
– zoom in on the image
– and still provide a wide viewing angle
In practice, this does not work.
Each camera is designed for a specific task:
– general area surveillance
– entrance monitoring
– license plate recognition
– people identification
– warehouse surveillance
– checkout areas
– perimeter protection
– parking areas
– gates or loading ramps
Therefore, a professional system is always designed as a multi-camera infrastructure.

Lenses and viewing angles

The proper selection of the lens is very important in video surveillance.
Cameras can use different focal lengths:
2.8 mm
4 mm
6 mm
12 mm and more
The smaller the focal length:
the wider the viewing angle,
but the less detail on distant objects.
The larger the focal length:
the narrower the angle,
but more detail can be seen at a greater distance.
A properly designed system allows for maximum efficient area coverage and reduction of "blind spots".

Night vision and image quality

During the day, many cameras may look similar, but the real differences become apparent at night or in difficult lighting conditions.
Video quality is strongly determined by:
sensor size,
optics quality,
IR illumination,
Full Color technology,
WDR processing,
software algorithms,
camera processor.
Cheap cameras often lose detail in the dark, get washed out by car headlights, or provide a noisy image that becomes practically useless.

Full Color cameras

Full Color cameras use additional white LED illumination, so they can maintain a color image even at night.
Such solutions are particularly useful:
in parking lots,
at entrances,
in courtyards,
in areas with low lighting.
However, Full Color technology must be used after properly assessing the object's conditions and lighting.

Why cheap cameras often become a problem

Often, clients compare professional systems with cheap solutions from online stores.
At first glance, the image may seem similar, but real-world operation reveals significant differences.
Professional systems:
have better sensors,
higher quality optics,
more stable software operation,
better night vision,
more reliable recording,
longer service life,
more secure infrastructure.
We work with professional manufacturers:
UniView
Hikvision
Dahua
Visar
For certain specific tasks, other solutions may also be used, for example, Netatmo.

PTZ pan/tilt/zoom cameras

It is often thought that one PTZ camera can replace an entire system.
In practice, a PTZ camera cannot monitor all zones simultaneously.
Therefore:
the main perimeter is usually monitored by fixed cameras,
and the PTZ camera is used as an additional solution for monitoring, zooming, or operator work.
Such cameras are particularly useful in:
large areas,
parking lots,
industrial facilities,
logistics zones.

Analytics and smart features

Modern video surveillance systems can use analytics:
line crossing,
zone entry,
object leaving,
object pickup,
people counting,
face recognition,
car recognition.
However, analytics must be designed very carefully.
An improperly configured system will generate many false events and become practically useless.
The most important thing is not to "have AI", but to clearly understand:
what problem the system should solve,
under what conditions it will work,
and what result is expected.

ANPR number recognition cameras

ANPR cameras are designed for license plate recognition.
They are often used for:
barrier control,
parking control,
entry registration,
in logistics facilities,
in commercial areas.
Such systems require very precise design:
appropriate angle,
distance,
speed estimation,
lighting,
and suitable camera optics.

Thermal imaging cameras

Thermal imaging cameras are used:
for temperature monitoring,
for perimeter protection,
in industry,
for specific security tasks.
In some cases, they can be used for monitoring human body temperature or controlling overheating of objects.

Recording and data security

In professional systems, recordings are usually stored locally:
On NVR devices,
on servers,
or in specialized storage solutions.
This allows:
controlling data security,
avoiding third-party clouds,
ensuring a stable archive,
and reducing privacy risks.
Specialized HDD drives designed for continuous 24/7 recording are used.

PoE network and infrastructure

A stable video surveillance system is impossible without proper network infrastructure.
Important components:
PoE switches,
UPS power supply,
quality cables,
network segmentation,
server infrastructure.
Wi-Fi cameras may be a suitable solution in some cases, but in professional systems, wired networks are usually prioritized due to more stable operation.

Video surveillance for homes and businesses

Different objects require different solutions.
For homes, the following are usually important:
yard monitoring,
entrances,
garage,
gates,
remote viewing on a phone.
For business objects, the following are additionally important:
employee movement,
warehouse control,
parking lots,
customer flows,
archive storage,
integrations,
analytics,
and system reliability in 24/7 mode.

System maintenance and service

The video surveillance system must be periodically maintained.
Important:
check the archive,
HDD status,
camera focus,
optics cleanliness,
software updates,
network stability,
UPS operation.
Even a good system requires maintenance over time.

Frequently asked questions

Can cameras be monitored from a phone?
Yes. Video surveillance systems can be connected to a phone or computer to view live cameras, review recordings, and receive event notifications.
How long are video recordings stored?
Archive duration depends on the number of cameras, resolution, recording quality, and HDD capacity. Recordings are usually stored from several days to several months.
Do cameras work in winter?
Yes. Professional outdoor cameras are designed to operate in rain, snow, cold temperatures, and heat.
Can license plates be recognized?
Yes, but this requires the correct camera, lens, mounting position, and lighting conditions. Specialized ANPR cameras are often used for this purpose.
Are Wi‑Fi cameras suitable for professional systems?
In some cases yes, but larger and more critical systems usually use wired PoE networks for greater stability and reliability.
How many cameras are needed for a house?
The number of cameras depends on the size of the property, entrances, garage, blind spots, and the required level of detail. Every system is planned individually.
Can recordings be stored locally instead of in the cloud?
Yes. Professional systems usually store recordings locally on NVR devices or servers.
Can video surveillance be integrated with alarm systems?
Yes. Video surveillance can be integrated with security systems, access control, automation, and other infrastructure solutions.

Need a professional video surveillance system?

If you are planning to install video surveillance for a house, office, warehouse, or commercial facility – send the object plan or brief information about the area.
