New CCTV systems that have gone live in January in Cannes include the Cannes Golf Course and many covering the view across the bay from all angles in the surrounding hills of Super Cannes.

Thermal network cameras create images based on the heat that always radiates from any object, vehicle or person. This gives the cameras the power to see through complete darkness and deliver images that allow operators to detect and act on suspicious activity – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Thermal cameras do not require any additional light sources – conventional or IR – that consume energy, create shadows and reveal their locations. And, in contrast to conventional day-and-night cameras that depend on a certain amount of near-infrared light to function, thermal cameras deliver reliable surveillance images even in complete darkness.

IP-Surveillance solutions have emerged as an attractive alternative to analogue CCTV as it provides the ultimate solution of a high-performance, low-cost digital video surveillance and monitoring.

Founded on a well-proven yet innovative communication technology, it creates digitised video streams, which are transferred over a computer network, thus enabling remote monitoring from anywhere within the reach of the network and also viewing/monitoring from any remote location via the Internet, email or SMS.

A modern IP surveillance system comprises three key components:

•    High-reliability server to contain recorded images plus IP Surveillance Software.
•    IP network infrastructure
•    IP cameras

The Advantages of IP CCTV Systems over traditional analogue systems are numerous. They include:-
•    High Quality Images - Using digital cameras, processing, and storage ensures that picture quality is always high, as there is no degradation of image quality as with analogue equipment.
•    Simplified User Interface - The playback and search capabilities are far superior to those of analogue systems, enabling immediate search and archive by events. Pictures of alarm events can also be scheduled and instantly sent by email for playback.
•    Remote Accessibility - The improved access over an intranet or Internet provides quicker access to digital quality images. The images can also be stored at remote locations for added security and convenience.
•    Lower Costs - Since digital video is stored on hard disk, the repair and service costs of analogue tape drive systems are removed. Additional savings include reduced travel costs to and from a monitored remote site.
•    Future Proof Investment - Any investment in IP-Surveillance is for the long term, since it uses a technology, which is quickly gaining recognition in the security industry and employs open standard protocols and networks for communication, which allows equipment from several manufacturers to be used in the same system. It also makes it easy to expand your IP CCTV system in the future.
•    Cost Effective - IP-Surveillance systems can function with an existing analogue one, since it can be configured to receive the same video and alarm signalling as the resident analogue system. Since both systems are capable of independent operation, there is no need to dispose of existing equipment until you are ready to expand the IP CCTV system, thus saving on initial installation and equipment costs.
•    Integration - IP Surveillance technology can easily be integrated into other functions and services as the system is developed, since the digital video feeds are simply distributed into other networked systems, e.g. access control, company intranets, alarm systems, etc.

Riviera One have many implementations of IP CCTV systems across the French Riviera from Cannes to Monaco, in Dublin Ireland and soon on the west coast of America and Canada.
