A well-designed video surveillance system does more than record activity. It provides visibility into your operations, helps protect people and property, and delivers valuable information when incidents occur.
MSC Integration designs, installs, and supports commercial security camera systems tailored to each facility. From traditional on-premises recording to cloud-managed, cloud-based, and hybrid surveillance solutions, we help businesses select technology that meets their operational, security, and long-term requirements.
No single surveillance architecture is right for every business. We offer flexible solutions that can be designed around your infrastructure, recording requirements, connectivity, and management preferences.
Professionally designed IP camera systems using local network video recorders (NVRs), dedicated recording servers, or enterprise video management software (VMS).
An excellent choice for facilities that require local recording, direct control over infrastructure, or integration with existing security networks.
Manage cameras, users, and multiple locations through modern cloud-connected platforms, with remote access and centralized administration.
Depending on the platform, recordings may remain on local equipment while management and system access are handled through the cloud.
Cloud-native and hybrid surveillance solutions offer flexible options for video access, recording, administration, and storage.
Depending on the system, video can be recorded in the cloud, locally, or through a combination of both, helping accommodate different retention and operational needs.

DISCUSS YOUR SECURITY NEEDS
Modern surveillance systems offer capabilities that extend well beyond traditional video recording. MSC Integration helps businesses evaluate and implement technologies appropriate for their facilities and security objectives.
Our focus is on selecting technologies that deliver meaningful results, rather than adding features that do not serve a practical purpose.
Depending on the equipment and system architecture, additional services and integrations can enhance the value of your video surveillance investment.
Compatible systems can be designed to support optional professional Live Video Monitoring, including real-time event review, audio intervention, and escalation when appropriate.
For facilities requiring extended video retention, we offer cloud storage options that can complement compatible surveillance systems and help meet longer-term recording requirements.
Video surveillance can be integrated with compatible access control, intrusion alarms, and other security technologies to provide a more coordinated security environment.
The performance of a surveillance system depends on more than the cameras themselves. Proper placement, network design, recording capacity, system configuration, and ongoing support all contribute to long-term reliability.
MSC Integration takes a practical, consultative approach to commercial video surveillance. We evaluate your facility, identify operational requirements, and design a solution that balances performance, usability, and future scalability.
Whether you're upgrading an existing camera system, expanding to additional locations, or planning a new installation, our team can help you determine the right approach.

read moreYes, most IP cameras and NVRs come with software you can use to view live and recorded videos on a local computer. You can also access your camera system from anywhere in the world using a mobile app or a web browser.
IP Surveillance cameras, also known as network cameras or megapixel cameras, are digital video cameras that transmit data over a computer network. Unlike analog CCTV cameras, IP cameras encode and compress digital video before sending it over the network.
Most IP surveillance cameras use the Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) or H.264 compression format. M-JPEG compresses individual frames, while H.264 compresses video streams over time. H.264 provides better compression than M-JPEG and is, therefore, more efficient in terms of bandwidth and storage requirements.
In addition to the cameras, you will need a network video recorder (NVR) or a computer with special software to store and manage the video footage. IP cameras also require a power over Ethernet (PoE) injector or switch to supply power through the Ethernet cable.
A network video recorder (NVR) is a unique computer designed to store and manage video footage from IP cameras. NVRs typically have more hard drive storage than a regular computer and can be configured to record video continuously or only when motion is detected.
NVRs come in various sizes, from small, stand-alone units to large, rack-mounted systems. They can also be purchased as part of a complete IP surveillance system from a security camera vendor.
A basic DSL or cable modem is usually sufficient for a small-scale IP surveillance system. For larger installations or systems with higher resolution cameras, you may need a fiber optic connection or a business-class broadband service.
The bandwidth you need depends on the number of cameras, the cameras' resolution, the frame rate, and the compression format.
IP surveillance cameras connect to the network using an Ethernet cable or a wireless connection. Wireless IP cameras are convenient because they can be installed anywhere without running cables. Still, they are more expensive than wired cameras and may have a shorter range and poorer performance.
Ethernet is the best choice for most small-scale installations because it is more reliable and accessible to troubleshoot than wireless. A wireless system may be the best option if you need to install cameras in a large area or where wiring may be complex.
