Downlook®

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.
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 False Alarms

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

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.

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.
