Tecton: CCTV experts

We are the Designers, developers and manufacturers of Closed Circuit Video Equipment ( CCTV ) for commercial, security, government and broadcast applications. Established in 1987, our products include video multiplexers, switchers, video titling equipment, digital video recorders, IP transceivers, Network recorders etc.. All of our CCTV products are designed and manufactured in Great Britain. CCTV and Video products are our speciality. We do not make anything else.

Demanding railway CCTV customers include : Network Rail, London Underground (Tubelines and Metronet), South West trains, G.N.E.R, Southern, Chiltern railways, DLR, CGL Rail, East Midlands, National Express.

Banking customers include: Allied Irish Bank, Barclays Bank, Ulster Bank, Nat West, HSBC, Lloyds, Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank of Ireland, Danske Bank, Coutts and co.

Major council CCTV control rooms include, Bath , Bridgwater, Shrewsbury, Nottingham, St. Helens, London Borough of Havering, London Borough of Wandsworth, Walton on Thames, Barnstaple, Portsmouth, London Borough of Richmond. Some of these systems are more than 8 years old, and are still supported by us, and will be indefinitely. Each one records video digitally, and reliably. They download footage as video evidence for the police on a regular basis (especially at the weekend). Recording is at high resolution and low power ( which has paid for the equipment when you compare it to the power usage of our competitors! ).

For MOD use the NATO stock number is 5836995514974

Commercial and government applications are numerous. They include military bases, Shopping centres, private houses and estates, VIP protection, schools, clubs, ports, airports, in short, just about any CCTV system where the customer wants reliable recording and wants the recorded images to be used as evidence. The recorder must preserve the video evidence, as our products do. (Many systems record unrecognisable images, especially under low light conditions, or when the picture is full of detail. These pictures are useless as evidence. Either the staff don't care, or they were skilfully mislead by a salesman).



The D1 4CIF mystery

How often have you seen specifications where the resolution of the video recorder is specified as 4CIF ?

This is actually nonsense, follow the link to see why  --> 4CIF   or even 4SIF



Nuclear Submarine

The Tecton Digital Video recorders are used on the new fleet of
British Navy nuclear submarines.
They were chosen because of their reliability and ruggedness.
This info was shown on the recent BBC programme:
how to make a nuclear submarine.



 

 

Wide-view

This clever little stand alone box puts up to 12 cameras on screen at once, all real-time, and all scaled to make the best use of full HD screens. A single HDMI cable connects the box to the screen; it really couldn't be simpler! More Info here

 

 


 

Liberator    

Other real time digital video recorders  record poor quality images to enable high speed recording. Detail is lost in the image and night time recordings are awful. The original VCR was much better . You are not told that of course, the man with the large BMW has got his commission.!

  • 50 images per second per camera without compromising image quality.
  • Real time on everything.
  • Massively fast download speeds.
  • Designed from the very beginning for big systems.
  • Copy to Blu-ray, DVD or CD
  • Not the usual PC in a chunky box
  • Very Low Power.
  • Records analogue and ip connected cameras

The Tecton Liberator recording system is so low powered that you can record 630 cameras in real time for one month and all you require is one domestic 13amp mains socket. That's enough cameras for one large railway station, no extra power wiring, no extra aircon.

----- FAST -- VERY -- VERY -- VERY -- FAST -----

RESOLUTION - Or how to see fine details. 

Its not unusual to spend a lot of money on a digital recording system, and discover you cannot see details in the CCTV picture that you could with your old SVHS recorder !! ---- not with us!

 

cctv resolution leaflet. 14mb Download the leaflet on the left and see how our resolution compares to the most popular digital video recorders. Resolution is the ability of the picture to show fine details, what you need for identification. You will need a high quality printer and some patience as the file is VERY large.
