What makes our camera systems the best?
#1 Our Technology is the best!
While most security camera systems offer some form of remote access, few make it a core priority—we do. At Platinum CCTV, we've been delivering reliable remote viewing experiences since the days of flip phones and dial-up. In fact, our focus on remote access has pushed our technology ahead of the curve—even faster than the internet itself has evolved.
With our powerful AVM NVR systems, you get more than just access—you get lightning-fast, ultra-smooth video streaming from anywhere in the world. Compare our mobile and desktop apps to others on the market, and the difference is clear. In critical moments, just having an app isn't enough—you need the performance, reliability, and clarity that only premium software and hardware can deliver.
Choose Platinum CCTV for remote access that truly works—when and where you need it most.
Scan through days, weeks or even months of video in seconds visually

Find your video fast
Tired of wasting time digging through hours of blurry footage on clunky software? You're not alone. Most camera systems are held back by outdated hardware and confusing interfaces that make retrieving video feel like finding a needle in a haystack. At Platinum CCTV, we’ve solved that problem—20 years ago.
Our cutting-edge AVM NVRs empower you to scan through days, weeks—even months—of video in seconds, whether you're on-site or halfway around the world. It’s not just fast—it’s effortless. That’s the kind of power and performance today’s businesses and homeowners deserve.
But it doesn’t stop there. Today’s cameras are capable of far more than just deterring crime. Our clients use their systems to monitor operations, improve efficiency, and gain valuable insights about their properties and personnel. At Platinum CCTV, we believe your cameras should work for you—not the other way around.
This philosophy has driven our innovation since day one. While the rest of the industry struggles to catch up, we're already delivering tomorrow’s security technology—today.Searching for the video you need in most security camera systems can feel almost impossible due to their limited hardware and confusing software capabilities. However, Platinum CCTV has been addressing this issue for over 20 years and continues to provide lightning-fast access to video through their systems. With AVM NVRs, you can easily scan through days, weeks or months of footage in a matter of seconds, whether you're on site or off.
The versatility of security cameras now means that they can be used for far more than just security. Our clients use their cameras to gather valuable data about their home and business operations, which they use to better manage their property and people. At our core, we believe that cameras should work for you, not the other way around. This is a philosophy that has guided us since our inception. The rest of the industry has yet to catch up to our forward-thinking approach.
When video is easy to find, that video is useful
The Best Quality Video
Don’t be fooled by specs alone—when it comes to true video clarity, Platinum CCTV’s AVM NVRs blow traditional recorders out of the water. Even when using the exact same cameras, our systems deliver visibly superior results thanks to powerful, enterprise-grade processing and intelligent software integration.
Most brands try to sell you on resolution numbers—but resolution is just the surface. What really matters for smooth, clear footage—especially during motion—is bitrate. That’s where our AVM NVRs shine.
Unlike the outdated, standalone DVRs and NVRs that resemble DVD players or VCRs (yes, those), our AVM systems are built with the latest Intel processors, high-speed RAM, and cutting-edge software—delivering tens of thousands of times the processing power. You’ll feel the difference the moment someone moves across the screen. Where generic systems show pixelated, choppy motion, our AVM NVRs maintain crisp, detailed clarity in every frame.
This is no off-the-shelf box—we design our recorders to maximize the full bitrate potential of modern HD and 4K cameras, capturing every detail without compromise. When security matters, compromise isn't an option. Choose Platinum CCTV, and see what your cameras are truly capable of.
Our AVM System can record at the full bitrate, framerate, color depth and resolution provided by the cameras, giving you better quality without even upgrading your cameras
Find Vehicles and People Quickly
Our clients call it lightning-fast, and they’re not exaggerating. With our exclusive AVM system powered by CMS4 software, you can scan through days—or even weeks—of security footage in seconds. Need to find a specific person or vehicle in a certain area? It’s not just possible—it’s instant.
What sets us apart is our deep integration of intelligent technology. When paired with our next-generation HD IP cameras featuring built-in AI, the system goes beyond simple motion detection. It knows what it’s seeing—distinguishing between standard motion and actual people or vehicles with pinpoint precision.
But the real game-changer is our advanced VCA (Video Content Analysis). While most systems just record motion, our AVM NVRs build a searchable database of human and vehicle activity within custom-defined zones. This empowers you with instant search and real-time alerts—so you’re always in control, and always one step ahead.
When speed, intelligence, and accuracy matter, there’s only one choice: Platinum CCTV’s AVM System—where smarter security meets unbeatable performance.
Our NVRs deliver, where others give only empty promises
Find Vehicles Instantly based on License plate
Our latest License Plate Cameras are in high demand—and for good reason. Seamlessly integrated with our powerful AVM NVR system, these cutting-edge ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras capture license plates at speeds up to 75 MPH, even in total darkness. The result? Crystal-clear reads stored directly in your database for fast, easy access whenever you need it.
Whether you're tracking employee arrivals, monitoring customer traffic, or identifying suspicious vehicles, our system delivers instant insight with unmatched precision. The intuitive interface makes it simple to stay on top of who’s coming and going—day or night.
But that’s just the beginning.
Our ANPR LPR technology allows you to receive real-time alerts the moment a specific vehicle enters your property—long before the driver reaches the door. In critical situations, that kind of proactive security can make all the difference.
This is advanced surveillance tech not yet available to many police departments, now in your hands. Stay ahead of threats. Make smarter decisions. Experience the future of security—only with Platinum CCTV.
Smart Camera Alerts
Let’s face it—most security systems fail where it matters most: reliable alerts. It’s why so many people end up disabling their notifications altogether. Why be bombarded every time a tree sways or a bug flies by your doorbell cam?
The problem? Most systems rely on outdated motion detection technology and lack the processing power to do anything smarter. That’s where Platinum CCTV’s AVM NVR systems change the game.
With powerful hardware and advanced software working together, our system filters out the noise and delivers smart, accurate alerts—only when it truly matters. You’ll stop ignoring your notifications… and start relying on them.
We design our camera systems to be proactive, not reactive. Our AVM NVRs, combined with next-generation HD IP cameras featuring built-in A.I., can distinguish between a person, a vehicle, an animal—or just random movement. That means you get real-time alerts when someone enters a restricted area… not when a squirrel runs across your driveway.
Smarter alerts. Fewer false alarms. Total peace of mind.
Choose Platinum CCTV – Because intelligent security should work with you, not against you.
At Platinum CCTV, we are experts in Smart Camera Alerting, we've been doing it for 20 years
