Mid Florida Audio & Video recently installed a commercial-grade Neighborhood Guard surveillance system for local homeowner’s association Highlands Creek II. The system features (4) high-definition (1080P) vandal-proof cameras and an onboard professional digital video recorder (DVR) to record and maintain weeks of video data. Two of the four security cameras are dual-shutter high speed license plate cameras, manufactured to record ingress and egress vehicle traffic. The cameras can read the license plate of a moving vehicle traveling up to 60 miles per hour!
If your community or homeowner’s association is interested in a Neighborhood Guard security system, contact Mid Florida Audio & Video today to schedule an estimate or consultation.

With the advent of wireless security cameras (also known as IP cameras), many homeowners and consumers become fixated on the idea of being “wire free.” While wireless security cameras do offer benefits in some situations, they are not the end-all-be-all solution to everyone’s surveillance needs.
Another downside to IP cameras is their strain on network bandwidth. The average consumer does not have a commercial-grade network that can handle the constant streaming and recording of 6+ high-definition security cameras. Multiple IP cameras on a standard home network would bog down the user’s Internet speed tremendously. Wired cameras are routed into a DVR which does not use nearly as many resources as individual IP cameras. Some IP cameras use an NVR, which is similar to a DVR, but this will not solve the issue of each camera needing a power source. The most viable advantage that wireless cameras have is their transmission length: a wireless camera system can be transmitted across an environment or terrain that would be extremely difficult or infeasible to run traditional camera cable across.
Wired cameras appear to be more labor-intensive to install than their wireless counterpart, but their reliability and sustainability far make up for the installation effort. Once installed, wired cameras do not require an Internet connection to capture and record; they can also be installed with little to no networking or IT knowledge.
