IP Lynx Commercial camera systems

Commercial cameras, done properly.

Milesight and Digital Watchdog camera systems, planned around your building, installed by our own technicians and supported after the truck leaves. Add AI, or tie the cameras into your doors, when you're ready.

What we install

The nuts and bolts, chosen for your building.

We don't sell the biggest catalogue. We install two camera lines we know inside out, so every part fits together and we can fix what we installed.

Milesight mini dome cameraMilesight bullet cameraMilesight motorized bullet camera
Cameras

Domes inside, bullets outside.

Milesight AI cameras: discreet domes for lobbies and shop floors, weatherproof bullets for doors, lots and yards, and motorized lenses where one camera has to cover a wide area.

  • Sharp day and night video
  • Picks people and vehicles out of the picture, so alerts mean something
  • Powered over the network cable. One run per camera.
Milesight network video recorderDigital Watchdog Blackjack recording server
Recorders

Recorded on site, sized to you.

A Milesight recorder for straightforward sites. A Digital Watchdog Blackjack server when you have many cameras, several buildings, or want room to grow.

  • Storage sized to the days of footage you want to keep
  • Footage stays in your building, under your control
  • Sits in your rack or a lockable cabinet we supply
DW Spectrum software on a desktop, tablet and phone
Software

Every camera on one screen.

DW Spectrum puts live view, playback and search for all your cameras on your computer, tablet or phone. Find a person or a vehicle in minutes instead of scrubbing through a night of footage.

  • Live and recorded video from anywhere
  • Search by person or vehicle across your cameras
  • Set up and kept current by IP Lynx
Two brands, on purpose. We install Milesight and Digital Watchdog because we know them, stock them and can support them. Have something else already? See the questions below.
Before and after

Same room. New camera.

Two screenshots from the same common room, a few days apart. The first is the old analog camera. The second is the Milesight IP camera we installed in its place.

Before: the old analog camera's view of a common room. The picture is dark, grainy and soft, the colours are washed out and a table lamp glows as a white blob.
Before · analog
The old analog camera. Dark, grainy and soft.
After: the same common room seen by the new Milesight IP camera. Sharp and clear, with the wood table, chairs, carpet and far wall all visible and a wider view of the room. People are blurred for privacy.
After · Milesight
The Milesight camera that replaced it. Sharp, clear and wider.

Same lamp. Same side table.

Zoom in on one corner of each picture and the difference is the whole point of a camera: one shows you what is there, the other only shows you that something is there.

How we do it

A site walk first. Then a quote you can read.

Camera systems go wrong in the planning, not the hardware. So we start by walking your building with you: entrances, blind spots, lighting, and where the cable can actually run. You get a camera plan and one written quote.

Walk the site

We look at every entrance, the blind spots, the lighting at night and where cable can run. You get a camera plan you can read.

2

Install and cable

Our own crew pulls the cable, mounts the cameras and sets up the recorder and software. Tidy work, labelled, tested with you before we leave.

3

Support it

Firmware, health checks and a phone number that reaches a person who knows your site. Add an IP Lynx Care plan for ongoing support.

Where cameras earn their keep

Built for the places you actually run.

Every building has three or four spots that matter and twenty that don't. We put the cameras where they count and stop there.

Storefronts and retail

The front door, the counter and the stock room, with footage you can pull up when something walked out the door.

Watch after-hours entry · counter · back door

Offices and clinics

Lobbies, reception and the server room. Discreet domes that fit the ceiling instead of shouting at your visitors.

Watch lobby · reception · server room

Warehouses and loading docks

Bay doors, the yard and the racking. Prove what was on the truck and when it left.

Watch bay doors · yard · racking

Parking lots and perimeters

Lots, fence lines and laneways at night. Cameras and lighting planned together, so you get a picture and not a glare.

Watch lot · fence line · laneway

Condos and multi-tenant buildings

Entrances, parking garages, mail rooms and elevators. One recorder for the whole building, with the right people able to see the right cameras.

Watch entrances · garage · mail room

Shops, plants and yards

Dusty, cold, wet and far from the office. Rugged cameras and cable runs that last, with the recorder somewhere clean.

Watch floor · yard · gates
When you're ready for more

Two upgrades. Same cameras.

The cameras and recorder are the base. These are the layers you can add on day one, or years later, without ripping anything out.

Upgrade 1 · AI

LynxVision makes dumb cameras smart.

AI that runs in your building, on the cameras you already have. Draw a zone or a line, say what counts (a person, a vehicle, someone loitering) and LynxVision does something about it: opens a bay door, turns on a light, sends the alert, pushes the event into DW Spectrum.

Built by IP Lynx. Sized by camera streams, not by the vendor's imagination.

Upgrade 2 · The whole building

VantageCore. The fully loaded model.

Most buildings end up with a camera app, a door app, an intercom app and a visitor list on paper: aftermarket gadgets bolted on one at a time, none of them talking to each other.

VantageCore is the fully loaded version instead. Doors, cameras, intercom and visitor passes in one app, so a door event shows the camera picture beside it, and a visitor pass opens the right door at the right time.

Bolted onFour apps, four logins, four people to call when they stop talking to each other.
Fully loadedOne app your team actually opens, one record of what happened, one number to call.
Access control Cameras Intercom Visitor passes

Running a business district, a downtown or a shared community? Business Sentinel is our separate camera service for that.

Straight answers

Questions we get on every site walk.

QCan you use the cameras I already have?

Usually. If they're network cameras in decent shape, we can bring them onto a new recorder and DW Spectrum, and LynxVision can add AI to them. Old analogue cameras are normally worth replacing. We'll tell you which is which on the site walk.

QHow long is footage kept?

As long as you decide. We size the recorder's storage to the number of days you want, the camera count and the resolution. Pick the number and we build to it.

QCan I watch from my phone?

Yes. DW Spectrum has phone, tablet and desktop apps, live and recorded, from anywhere with an internet connection. We set them up on your devices before we leave.

QDo you run the cabling?

Yes, our own crew. Network cabling and fibre are part of what we do, so the camera quote includes the cable and nobody blames the other contractor.

QWhat does it cost?

Every site is quoted in writing after the site walk: cameras, recorder, cabling and labour. You own the system. An IP Lynx Care plan for ongoing support is optional.

QWill it work with my access control?

That's what VantageCore is for: doors, cameras, intercom and visitor passes in one place. If you're planning both, tell us and we'll quote them together. See access control.
