An "IP" means an Internet Protocol address and it is quickly becoming the most utilised kind of security IP CCTV Camera for domestic and commercial premises due to its ease of use via the internet. The standard and undoubtedly the most typical camera type is known as an analogue camera and also the back finish /output signal typically used a coaxial cable and BNC connector that may be easily seen on any TV/monitor with video input.

AEL Systems, who design, supply, install and maintain CCTV North East IP Camera's can provide demonstrations of this remote online software if you are interested in seeing just how well it can perform. The advantage of an normal analog camera is the fact that frequently they're far cheaper and have been in existence technologies and they are fairly robust, however as they are becoming more and more outdated you may find that maintenance and replacement parts are starting to become more expensive. The advantage of IP CCTV Camera is they have better quality and can send high definition video feeds via your existing network. They are simple to setup, particularly when a network has already been in position in your home or place of work, and don't require a lot of overhead to maintain. Some IP CCTV Camera also include a BNC/Analog output allowing you to connect your camera to your existing non-IP Closed-circuit television system. This could permit you to connect the IP CCTV Camera to your digital recording device recording station and have a network connection attached permitting for remote viewing and recording to a local pc or off-site location. However, if you do go down this route you do need to make sure to verify the IP CCTV Camera is able to send video to both BNC/Analog output and through the network concurrently. So which solution fits your needs? This is really dependent on what you require from a system and what your budget is. Do you need to be able to remotely view/control your cameras from any internet location? Do you need high definition video stored digitally? Do you already have an existing network that can be utilised?

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas, which is made up of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom and is lighter than air. It is highly toxic to humans and animals in high quantities and these qualities can make it very hard to detect it's presence.
It is also a close relative of the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which itself is made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms and is something that we breathe out as part of our normal respiratory process. However, unlike CO2, Carbon Monoxide is a bit unstable and given the opportunity it will take one of the oxygen atoms and turn into carbon dioxide. If Carbon Monoxide is breathed in, then this process starts to occur within a human body and the oxygen levels will start to decrease leading to head-aches, tiredness, dizziness and a feeling of nausea. If a continued exposure to the gas occurs then it can ultimately lead to death.
As Carbon Monoxide is clearly so dangerous and highly toxic to humans it is opbviously imperative to know if it is around in order to protect yourself, your family and/or your employees. Although it naturally occurs in small quantities, and this isn’t dangerous at this level malfunctioning gas appliances, such as boilers or gas fires, can produce Carbon Monxide in large enough quantities to kill.
This is where AEL Systems can help protect you. Carbon Monoxide detectors work in a similar way to how a smoke alarm detects smoke, and we can even supply detectors that are both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If the Carbon Monoxide detector senses that carbon monoxide levels are rising, it produces a loud audible warning signal giving you the time to open the windows and evacuate the buildings.
AEL Systems can supply, install and maintain a carbon monoxide detector to detect traces of carbon monoxide. and protect yourself and your family from something that is easily preventable.

Any type of burglary can be distressing, but when it is on your own home it becomes a lot more personal and can leave you feeling vunerable and insecure. You not only have the loss of your possessions and any related damage, but the feeling that some has been through your belongings to deal with. Most people don't have the luxury of being able to afford 24 hour security guards to protect their property and therefore turn to other methods such as CCTV Surveillance.
It has been well documented that domestic burglary crime rates in the UK are on the up, and CCTV security systems are therefore becoming increasingly popular. This demand is driving the price of a home security system down, and the decision on whether to install a home CCTV security system is now becoming an easier, cheaper, more practical choice. Even insurance companies are recognising this and you'll often find that your home insurance premiums can be reduced as a direct result of installing a system.
We can help you by installing internal and external CCTV cameras and recording equipment at your home for extra security and peace of mind whether you are away on holiday or at home alone. We can provide both hard-wired and wireless systems, black and white or colour, optional night vision and even built in audio capability. You can monitor your multiple cameras and help protect vulnerable areas of your property such as back gardens, vehicles and any gates you may have. A useful addition to the home CCTV security system would a camera aimed at the front door to allow you to see who is at the door before opening it.
Burglars look for tell tale signs on houses for whose owners are away e.g curtains always open or drawn, no house lights on at night, mail piled up at the front door, so if you are away a lot on business or your house will be left unoccupied for a period of time then your CCTV North East system can be invaluable. If you live in an remote area or have large surrounding land to your house then this also leaves you vulnerable and you should certainly have some kind of security system installed.
Most of the time potential burglars will simply see a CCTV system in place and just move on to an easier target as the risk of being recorded and identified is too big a risk for them. If you are still unlucky enough to experience a break-in, then you have the added benefit of being able to hand the recorded video over to the police, for them to track down and use as evidence in court to prosecute the offender(s).
You can use your CCTV security system for multiple uses too, so as well as recording any intruders or trespassers you can monitor visitors and other people such as any babysitters, cleaners or gardeners that you employ.
If you are interested in any of our CCTV security solutions or would like some further information or a quote, please contact us, telephone us on 0845 467 3981 or visit the Security of our website, or view our online shop.

The Government introduced electrical safety rules in 2005 for the Building Regulations in England & Wales. This means that now, almost all fixed electrical installation work carried out in domestic homes and must, by law, meet these Building Regulations.
Part P of the Building Regulations states that anyone carrying out electrical installation work in a home must make sure that the work they undertake is designed and installed to protect the people inside from fire and electric shocks. Part P applies to both to new homes and to any changes made to existing installations, including any existing parts that have been rewired.
All electrical installation work whether that be in a home, garden, conservatory or outbuilding must meet the Building Regulations outlined by the Government. Apart from some minor types of work, all electrical work must either be reported to the local authority building control department, or be carried out by a qualified electrician who is registered with one of the Government Approved scheme providers.
By law, it is the responsibility of all homeowners and landlords to be able to prove that all undertaken electrical installation work meets Part P, or they will be committing a criminal offence. Local authorities can make homeowners or landlords remove or alter any work that does not meet Part P of the Building Regulations.
