The need for a proactive surveillance system for your home or small business has become increasingly important of late now that the new normal of existence under lockdown has meant elements from your everyday life and work are often under the same roof.
Proactive surveillance is not simply about having the best cameras, however. Yes, that is an important part of the equation as hardware that is not up to standard can often make a big difference, but this is only a piece of the puzzle.
One of the other elements that is perhaps not given the attention it truly deserves is storage. While some eulogise about the cloud, in South Africa it is not always an option, which means an on-premise solution is needed.
This is why local firm RCT, a division of local technology distributor Rectron, has developed its new UD5381 surveillance kit thanks to the help from storage specialists Seagate and in particular its SkyHawk unit.
Specifically designed for use in a surveillance setup, the 1TB HDD drive that comes bundled with the UD5381 kit is one of Seagate’s flagship offerings, ensuring that users can record 24/7. These drives also boast the innovative ImagePerfect firmware which helps to ensure that there are no frames lost while recording.
This dependability makes it easy to see why RCT chose to go with SeaGate and the SkyHawk drive in particular for its surveillance kit.
Add to this RCT ensuring that its cameras can record video in up to FullHD resolution, capture HD images, as well as featuring auto detection and highly sensitive audio recording functionality, and it’s no wonder why those who opt for this kit will have high fidelity surveillance at their fingertips.
This helps to ensure that what’s precious to you does not end up in the fingertips of others too.
As such RCT and Seagate SkyHawk make the perfect pair when it comes to delivering a proactive surveillance experience, whether it is in the comfort of your home or further away at the office or business.
Capable of being set up either indoors or outdoors, there is a degree of versatility to this kit that you don’t often see in other commercial solutions.
The addition of the RCT Viewer mobile app to the mix also means that you can check in on your surveillance system from the safety of your smartphone, making remote monitoring even easier should you be away from the homestead or premises.
As most South Africans deal with the added pressure of remote working or working from home, it is important to place the trust of proactive household and office surveillance in brands with experience in these fields.
That’s why the collaboration between RCT and Seagate SkyHawk is the go-to partnership when it comes to selecting an easy and convenient surveillance solution.
