TVI vs IP CCTV Systems
Report
Traditionally analogue CCTV is installed using co-axial cables consequently these systems are low resolutions and have no image processing capabilities.

TVI is a method of transmitting a HD analogue signal down the old type cables. Although these images are better than the old analogue cameras they are still in effect been transmitted in analogue down the old type coaxial cables. In addition to the signal being transmitted along the old type of cable the TVI technology has no image processing capabilities which means the colours are inferior. The resulting image is prone to shadows caused by interference getting on to the co axial cable.

The systems we install are IP (internet protocol) systems, this means they’re not TVI. They are wired in CAT5e external grade solid copper cabling which enables our systems to run at gigabit bandwidth speeds. These type systems are true digital. The higher bandwidth allows us to transmit higher resolutions at far superior quality that a TVI analogue system simply cannot complete with. IP cameras do all the image processing within the camera before it is sent back to the control down the superior cable.

The end result is a crisp and clear image not forgetting the beautiful vibrant colours. CAT5e cabling bandwidth is that fast, it can simultaneously transmit 167 4K 8 megapixels down one cable! This makes it the obvious choice when installing CCTV as it future proofs the infrastructure of your system.

Totally professional approach, almost left the place tidier than when they started. We had a full system installed by James and Luke who took time to explain what they were doing and checked with us on positioning of various items. A clear explanation of how it all works was the icing on the cake. Can't thank them enough.

Excellent company.efficient, professional and prompt. We have been with CVS 5 years and always received great service from them. Craig carried out our annual service today. He kept us informed of all changes he was making along the way and the reasons the changes were required. He was cheery, informative and helpful a great attribute to the company. Thankyou

After the high winds and snow of Saturday 27th Nov 21 my alarm was damaged. On Weds 1st December I phoned Calder Valley Security service for assistance and Craig Moore arrived very quickly and sorted the problem in no time. Excellent prompt service from what appears to be a very good company and in this case a very nice and approachable young man.

We had an issue with the house alarm. They sent a very knowledgeable and helpful person who explained the issues, offered pragmatic solutions and did the work there and then. Could not have been more efficient and effective. Nice people to have in your house.

We used Calder Valley Security for the first time today after a recommendation from a friend, who had recently used them for their house. Having recently moved we wanted our burglar alarm and cctv servicing with a view to upgrading. The gentleman Pete that came out today was absolutely amazing, very polite, took the time to explain the systems to us and was very respectful while in our home even down to wearing covers over his shoes. He was very through throughout but never pressured us into any sales just simply explained what our options were and what he would advise. We can't recommend them enough!

Great service after my old alarm gave up the ghost. Leanne in the Office arranged the appointment very quickly. Craig & Harrison were prompt and soon installed my new alarm with the minimum of fuss which was soon up and running. 5 stars without any hesitation. Thank you

6 years ago Calder Valley Security installed an alarm in my home. Right from the start I was impressed by their friendly professionalism and the up to the minute technical solutions offered. The system was tailored exactly to my requirements and was installed efficiently and competently, no time wasted and no mess left behind. The system has been trouble free. Leanne in the office is great, always willing to help.

This week I had the system serviced for the first time since the start of the pandemic and was very pleased when the engineer - Craig - explained how they were working in a covid secure way before competently carrying out the service. I highly recommend this company.

Excellent service. Really helpful engineer. Craig’s patience to sort out our alarm couldn’t have been better. Also Leanne who took our initial enquiry and followed up arranging the engineer’s visit has great customer care skills. Thank you to both of you!

Had a power cut and my house alarm wouldn't reset and was generally playing up... Called Calder Valley Security and from initial phone call (Leanne), to the engineer (Luke) coming out it was a first class service... Luke even phoned to let me know his arrival time was going to be slightly earlier than the appointment time!! He was polite, courteous and professional throughout, he explained everything he was doing during his testing sequence and left me with a fully functioning alarm system and a feeling of confidence that he had explained everything. I don't have any hesitation recommending Calder Valley Security and will definitely be calling on them again. Thank you

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother who has recently had Calder Valley Security out to look at her alarm. She was very happy that James, the engineer who attended, wore a mask, gloves and over shoes. James replaced the battery and the alarm is now back working. James wiped down everything before he left. Thank you for taking care, Carole.

We had an alarm system fitted by Calder Valley Security a few years ago, which has been serviced annually since then. We are extremely pleased with the system, and with the service we receive from the company. They are prompt, do the job with no fuss, and we would recommend them highly.

We are so grateful our electrician pointed us in the direction of this lovely local company.The service is professional, quick and good value for money. Mick was kind and his advice was invaluable. As a customer , we felt we were given choices and in no way pushed into any features we did not want. Lovely workmen to have in the house and minimal mess. great company and would highly recommend.
