Integrated Alarm And Video System : DownLook

DSC’s Downlook Creates An Affordable Alternative To Costly On-site Surveillance Systems.

“Downlook” is the ideal solution for all business and residential environments which require visual surveillance but where the presence of on-site security personnel is impossible, undesirable or unaffordable.   It’s the smart and inexpensive way to add visual backup to your regular remote alarm signaling system, meeting your demand for tighter security on a tight budget.

Reduce False Alarms

In some communities, false alarms have become so common that police will not respond without verification that an emergency exists.

Downlook not only provides your monitoring station with the necessary visual images to verify an alarm, but high quality images can also assist police in their investigations (and even be used as evidence).

Reduce Surveillance Costs

Using on-site security guards may make sense in some situations if immediate human intervention is deemed necessary to protect lives or property. But using the same guards for 24 hour surveillance purposes is exceptionally expensive and can rarely be rationalized.

By comparison, using Downlook for surveillance purposes is extremely cost efficient. In fact, it can pay for itself in a matter of weeks on labour savings alone. And equally important, Downlook can be programmed so that certain sensors and devices can activate specific alarms, to ensure the right emergency training is immediately summoned.

Improve Security Protection

Downlook’s unique integration of alarm signaling and video transmission offers benefits not available from separate video, transmission and receiver systems on the market.

Downlook’s picture quality is excellent, but Downlook’s equipment costs far less. And installation is easier, so it costs less. It's also easier to service, and costs less, too!

In fact, the savings are so significant that, in many security situations, Downlook makes video monitoring an affordable reality for the first time.

VIDEO CAMERA

NO SPECIAL CAMERA REQUIRED

Unlike many video transmission systems, Downlook works with standard black & white video cameras. So you can make further savings by “shopping” for your best camera price.

BURGLARY PANEL & TRANSMITTER

HOW THE VIDEO IS ACTIVATED

(Downlook’s video modules are built right into DSC’s PC3000 control panel). The moment a designated alarm zone is activated, which in turn initiates video monitoring, your control panel establishes communication with your monitoring station’s receiver and begins the video transmission, without a hitch or a wasted moment.

REMOTE MONITORING RECEIVER & MONITOR 

A NEW “PERFECT PICTURE”

When the video transmission is received accurately on a Sur-Gard MLR-2 Receiver, a 250 x 250 pixel B&W image is displayed on the central station’s monitors. With a new “Perfect Picture” coming through, up to 8 times per alarm, every alarm event can be verified quickly and the appropriate response identified accurately.
