Security revolution goes digital.

The digital security revolution is in full swing according to Nortronics--a leading integrator and provider of state of the art electronic security equipment in the New York tri-state region.

The New Jersey-based company maintains there is a recent surge among private companies and commercial and residential building managers, to upgrade their security systems to digital. In contrast to analog, digital offers more safety and security to tenants with its ability to provide a clearer and more secure image over longer ranges.

Already, many of Nortronics' high profile clients, including Marymount College, Goodstein Management, Akam Associates, Orsid Realty, and Century Management are making the switch to digital security. The company predicts that this trend will continue.

"We believe that digital is a viable option among private companies, building owners and managers and will soon be the standard in the security industry," said Maria Gonzalez, vice president of Nortronics. "The combination of improvement in quality and decreasing prices will make digital equipment the only practical option for building owners to adequately protect their tenants."

The most popular digital security systems purchased by commercial and residential building owners to insure the safety of its tenants are closed circuit television cameras, digital video recorders and digital intercom systems. These systems are more reliable because they record and store a clearer image in real time. All images generated are saved digitally on a computer hard drive allowing for instantaneous retrieval of a particular event and the images can also be printed out in digital quality.

Additionally, digital security systems can be accessed through the Internet or LAN/WAN networks to allow a person to keep an eye on their property from anywhere in the world.

"The improved quality due to the digital recording allows security systems to better serve law enforcement needs of surveillance and recognition of people and events," said Gonzalez.
