Video Surveillance & Low-Voltage Cabling
LABUSA designs, installs and supports video surveillance systems and the low voltage cabling they depend on, as a Texas DPS Licensed Security Contractor.
This page sets out the corporate capability. The detailed offerings, system options and specifications live on the specialist LABUSA Security property, linked throughout.
Why surveillance projects disappoint
The camera is rarely the problem. Most disappointing systems were let down by what sits behind them.
- The cabling was an afterthought. Bandwidth, power and pathways were sized for the original count and the system cannot grow.
- Coverage was specified by quantity. A number of cameras was agreed before anyone established what actually had to be seen, and in what light.
- Retention was not costed. Storage was sized for a period nobody checked against the organization's own policy or obligations.
- It was never integrated. Surveillance, access control and alarms run as three systems, so an event has to be reconstructed by hand across three interfaces.
