It’s been said that a picture’s worth a 1000 words so please allow us to save a few thousand words by sharing a few still images – captured from a variety of our client’s recorded video...
Nearly every industry creates an array of “buzz” words that mean something to those inside the industry but leave outsiders in the dark and often too intimidated to ask questions. Such is also the case with CCTV – see what we mean… CCTV is “industry speak” for Close Circuit TeleVision.

The “subjects” in the following image are about 200’ from the camera…
...this installation employs two (2) separate LAN-Bridge radios to bring mega-pixel IP video to the server in one direction and Internet + a live feed (from the server) to a remote client PC which subsequently powers a 32” monitor that is used operationally to run the entire yard.
Operational Video
Operational Video Systems provide a visual portal for staff and management alike. Here are but a few examples of how our clients are using the Operational Systems we've installed...
- Two different clients (each with facilities is multiple states) use their operational system to share processes and procedures - multiple plants benefit from the collaborative efforts. Knowing what works here also translates to what works there,
- Management - through remotely reviewing the video of a process going on at an out-of-state location - was able to pinpoint a variety of procedural improvements,
- Another customer uses his Operational Video system to monitor the performance of their high-tech palatalizing robot.
- Using the electronic mapping function (e-map) each camera’s location can be superimposed on a layout of the facility and with one mouse-click any of the system cameras’ video can be displayed,
- By spot monitoring a time-clock at a remote plant via their Internet connected operational video system a personnel manager was able to verify employee’s reported time. Also, they were able to verify each employee at the remote location was actually punching in for themselves,
- When a customer questioned the contents of a given shipment one client was able to verify each and every item on the shipping manifest by video verification of the truck as it was loaded… three weeks ago,
- When an employee tried to file a workman’s compensation claim for an incident we questioned the when, where and how the alleged issues came to pass - then, checking the video of the area for hours on either side of the employee’s claim, found him to never have been in the vicinity of where he claimed the incident occurred,
- Another customer narrowly averted a six-figure liability claim when the month+ old video clearly demonstrated the person never came in contact with the item in question and that her story was a 100% fabrication.
GuardDog is technically experienced and we deliver on our promises. We feel that's a strong combination.
A recent client wanted to capture legible license plate data from vehicles entering and exiting their facility. The entrance was ~180 feet from the nearest building structure and (from that distance) a four (4) degree field of view would adequately cover the space.
We detailed the entrance to their facility per the diagram shown to the left.
We detailed the entrance to their facility per the diagram shown to the left.
Next we evaluated the sight details using Field of View Analysis software we've developed. As noted (right) a 40-50 mm lens will provide approx. 17-22' of horizontal coverage...
...and (furthermore from our in-house developed analysis software) a 2.0 MegaPixel image will provide a resolution of between 75 & 93 pixels per foot.
From experience, we know that we need ~80 pixels per foot to legibly capture license plate detail a high percentage of the time so we concluded... A 2.0 MP camera, equippedwith a VariFocal lens in the range of 50 mm will provide adequate definition to accurately read license plates on vehicles entering/exiting the facility.

Below is an image distilled from recorded video of the installed camera... Gotta love it when a plan comes together!
The camera images below highlight the value of HD video. Recording at 3 MP, even in inclement weather specific detail and license plate identification are provided.
Since image Quality is a function of VALUE, below, we’ve taken just a moment to explain (analytically) how we define VALUE...
Imagine the shop above – large enough to support three (3) complete semi-trucks/trailers… coverage as shown (except from all four corners) details virtually all aspects of what happens anywhere in the shop. Talk about peace of mind…
A slaughterhouse and meat processing business uses their 20+ video cameras in security as well as operational functions. Having recently upgraded from analog cameras to a GuardDog Surveillance IP System, the owners are ecstatic about the improved video quality!
We don't invest much time detailing our workmanship but we're very proud of the all aspects of our network systems' quality. The rack

(right) installed at the rural meat cutting operation is a perfect example of GuardDog's "going the extra mile" philosophy. Patch panel terminated wiring is housed (along with the video server and a rack mounted UPS) in a hinged IT cabinet all combining to provide a neat as well as aesthetically pleasing installation.
In all our IP systems we separate the video network from the company IT structure so that our high bandwidth demand camera systems do not adversely affect our client's company network. |

In the simple shop photo above, we highlight the image quality our systems deliver. The inset (expanded) image was cropped out of the original picture - NOTE: Rather than image quality being lost (in the expansion) detail that otherwise would not have been noticed is revealed.
Regardless if you need to monitor your staff as they maintain your equipment (above) or need from time to time keep tabs on (below)
contractors that may be improving your facilities GuardDog Surveillance Systems has a video solution answer.
While in some of the above shots you’ve seen what our “typical” cameras provide in the way of night vision, the photos below detail our night video capabilities in a rather dramatic way.
