Compare us to a DVR, Analog, or IP Surveillance System
Thinking about investing into a surveillance system? Here are a few facts to consider about EquiSafes IP cameras and Hosted Video Service.
No DVR required
Research all other surveillance systems on the market and you will find that you will need a Digital Video Recorder. A DVR is not scalable meaning that you could pay up to $1000.00 for a 4 channel DVR, if you need to add a camera be prepared to upgrade to a larger DVR. If you want surveillance in 2 different locations you will need 2 DVRs. If you want more storage you will pay more. In fact, chances are that your DVR will be outdated within 1 year of its purchase. With EquiSafe you don’t need to buy any DVRs because they are already built into the cameras and the Hosted Video Service.
No Computer Required
If you are not using a DVR then you would have to use a computer. You would need to have a dedicated computer on your network to view your cameras, install the software, and access any configurations. If you want surveillance in 2 different locations you would need 2 computers. If someone steals your computer all of your video surveillance would be gone as well as the footage of who just broke into your house. With EquiSafe you don’t need any dedicated computers connected to your surveillance network. The camera is the computer.
No Software Required
Research all other surveillance systems and you will find that you will need to install software onto your computer. In most cases this software is either the limited “free” version or you will have to pay for it with licenses. With global surveillance there is no software to download, install, or upgrade. To view your cameras go to any Internet connected device and log into your account.
No Router Configurations
When comparing EquiSafe to other IP camera solutions ask them if you can “connect their cameras to the Internet for viewing without doing any router configurations?” In every case you will find the answer to be NO. Be prepared to have an IT person come and configure your router for port forwarding and have your ISP give you a static IP address. When you have a problem with your configurations you will need to have computer wizard come and fix your problems. With global surveillance you do not need any IT knowledge simply plug your camera into your router with a network cable and log into your account.
Portable
With EquiSafe's cameras you can unplug your camera from one location and plug it back in another room or another state and it will push its content up into our severs for you to view. Hard to believe? Our cameras are mini computers that once plugged into any router auto-negotiate with our servers to make a connection. So feel free to move your cameras around your barn, home, office, or around the globe.
Expandable
There is no limit to the number of cameras you can have connected or the number of locations around the world that can be monitored. All from one internet connected device.
Reliability
EquiSafe uses one of the most trusted data centers in the world. We have redundant carriers for an always on connection and support for over 150 gigs per second of information.
Safest Storage
With global surveillance your recorded video is safe. All other surveillance systems need a dedicated computer or DVR to store video. In the event that someone breaks into your house and steals your computer all of your surveillance video would go out the door also including who just entered your house. With global surveillance the video footage is saved at our servers and won’t be compromised.
E-mail and SMS Text Alerts
If your camera detects motion our software will send a text to your cell phone. This makes your EquiSafe surveillance camera a true monitoring security system.
FireWall Settings
EquiSafe's cameras do not need to be specially configured to push it's video out through your firewall. Firewalls protect you from outside attacks. Since your camera would be on the inside of your network the video will not be stopped.
