Subject: Video Surveillance System
Please accept the following as recommendation and quotation on the installation of a Video surveillance system at the XXXXX XXXX Hotel. Based on our brief discussion I recommend the following system:
4-channel DVR, 500GB HDD, Windows 7, 120 FPS DVD-WR
2 Outdoor Box Cameras overlooking the parking
1 Indoor doom camera for the office
to record daytime and after hours activity. Cameras can be very useful in identifying people and other descriptors following a theft or a crime.
Box Camera: Price includes bracket, housing with heater and fan + lens and transformers
Clinton Electronics CE-CC115 -
Color Day/Night Box camera – low light
540 TVL TV Line Resolution
Sense Up Feature for Optimal Night Image
Lens – Pentax-C70223HK 2.8-12 mm, F1.4, Vari Focal, Auto Iris
Sony Hi-Res, Vari-Focal, Auto-Iris Digital Color 1/3" CCD Mini-Dome Camera
A high resolution camera particularly suited for use indoors in changing light conditions where a vari-focal, auto-iris lens is required, with exceptional low light performance 0.0014 Lux @ F1.2 (selectable 4X/ 32X sense up). The high-resolution 1/3" CCD produces excellent quality images at 540 TV lines. 3 to 9mm Vari-Focal, Auto-Iris Lens included.
Recording: DVR Digital Video Recorder, not rack mounted
4-channel, 500 GB HDD, Windows 7, 120 FPS DVD-WR
DVR (Digital Video Recorder) records the picture digitally onto a hard disk drive, which produces much better playback picture (comparing to VCR), complete with date and time of the incident. The DVR records only when it detects a change in the video picture, eliminating endless hours of needless recording. The DVR neatly "catalogues" these events for easy viewing when required. The video archives can be viewed onsite or offsite via the Internet without affecting current recordings. In fact, DVRs can record new activity, display old archives and live viewing both on and offsite all at the same time. Any existing monitor is good for viewing at XXXXXX Hotel.
The DVR is PC based, which, unlike embedded systems, is very flexible, and very user friendly. Embedded systems require software installation in the computer used for viewing.
The price is determined by its capabilities such as:
- how many cameras it can handle,
- how long it can archive video and
- how fast it can display both live and archived images.
1 The DVRs are built for 4 cameras, 8 cameras, or 16.
- The archiving capability is determined by the size of the hard disk drive (HDD). Our standard HDD is 250 GB for 4and 8-channel DVR. Some customers require only a few days of archiving while others need several weeks of recording. Additional disk drives can be easily added for expanded weeks or even months of archiving.
3 When you and I watch a person or vehicle in motion, we actually see this motion at 30 frames or images per second. The DVR for 4 cameras that we recommend is 120 FPS (Frames Per Second), therefore a DVR rated at 120FPS will offer excellent playback video in case you use only 4 cameras. DVR for 8 cameras is recommended with 240fps.
Internet Access
Using high speed Internet connection the premises can be viewed from home and any other place off-site via Internet connection and assigned password. Internet access is granted to authorized users only and cannot be viewed by the general public. The video image will include the date and time of an accident and it is usable in court if required.

This is the system that has proven more cost effective and more usable for our customers. It is Internet ready, it allows remote viewing without installing software, it allows remote servicing, it is Windows based and the users are more familiar and comfortable to manage with the recorder and the remote access.
The less expensive solutions are available but the servicing and the hassle for the management is going to add up more than the initial investment in PC based system.
One-year warranty on DVR, cameras and parts as per the supplier at no cost.
60% of the price is required before ordering the materials and the rest upon completion. The delivery time is one week and the installation time would be about two days.
Armour Alarms Inc. keeps their prices low, but we are willing to beat any competitors’ estimates on the same equipment GUARANTEED!
