All cameras are pre-configured to connect to the virtual surveillance account for our customer and as soon as the cameras get powered up on a POE switch with access from the inside to the Internet, they will securely connect with a VPN tunnel without the need to open up ports on the end user’s firewall. Ceiling cameras get installed by simply drilling a hole into the ceiling tile with a standard tool, clipping in the camera and connecting it with an RJ45 cable to the nearest PoE switch. Inexpensive PoE injectors can be added if no PoE ports are available. Many customers can install the cameras themselves in the center of the room. There is no focusing needed and no positioning since it is a 360-degree camera. Even the integration to the existing alarm-system can at least initially be done remotely if an alarm siren is near the camera by tuning an audio sensitivity alarm in the camera and triggering it by the alarm system. A dry contact wire connection can be added at a later time for silent alarms.
