What makes our camera systems the best?
#1 Our Technology is the best!
Remote access is now a common feature in many security camera systems, but few platforms are truly designed with remote connectivity at their core. At Platinum CCTV, seamless remote access has been a priority since day one long before smartphones and high-speed internet became standard. That early focus helped shape the evolution of our advanced AVM NVR systems, delivering remote performance that far surpasses most conventional surveillance solutions.
With Platinum CCTV, you don’t just get remote viewing, you get smooth, real-time HD video streaming from anywhere in the world. Whether you’re monitoring your home, business, or multiple locations, our system gives you instant access to live and recorded footage directly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
When you compare our mobile app to typical surveillance apps, the difference becomes clear. Reliable remote video isn’t just about having an app or an internet connection. It requires powerful hardware, optimized network performance, and intelligent video management software working together to deliver consistent, high-quality streaming without delays or interruptions.

Find your video fast
Many traditional security camera systems struggle when it comes to finding critical footage. Limited hardware and outdated software often lead to slow searches and frustrating playback experiences. At Platinum CCTV, we’ve spent more than 20 years changing that standard. Our powerful AVM NVR systems provide lightning-fast access to your surveillance footage, allowing you to scan through days, weeks, or even months of recorded video in seconds.
But modern video surveillance should do more than simply record events, it should give you greater control and insight. Our clients rely on their camera systems not only to protect their property, but also to gain valuable visibility into daily operations. Whether managing a business, monitoring employees, overseeing deliveries, or keeping an eye on your home, our intuitive playback tools turn your security camera system into a powerful management resource.
To ensure complete confidence in your investment, we stand behind our technology with a full 3-year warranty on all products and services. When you choose Platinum CCTV, you’re choosing a surveillance solution built for performance, reliability, and long-term value.

When video is easy to find, that video is useful
The Best Quality Video
Experience exceptional video clarity and performance with our advanced AVM NVR systems, engineered from the ground up to deliver maximum bitrate and industry leading image quality. Powered by cutting-edge processing technology and intelligent video management software, our recorders ensure that every frame of footage remains sharp, detailed, and crystal clear, even during fast-moving or high-activity scenes.
Unlike many outdated DVR and NVR systems that resemble old VCR-style hardware and lack the processing power required for modern surveillance, our AVM recorders are built for today’s demanding security environments. Equipped with the latest Intel processors, high-performance RAM, and optimized software architecture, our systems provide the speed and stability needed to handle multiple high-definition cameras without sacrificing video quality.
With processing power tens of thousands of times greater than traditional surveillance recorders, our AVM NVRs do more than simply record video, they maximize the full capabilities of your security camera system. In many cases, clients experience a noticeable improvement in video quality and system performance even without upgrading their existing cameras.
At Platinum CCTV, we believe your video surveillance system should empower your security strategy, not limit it. Our technology is designed to deliver superior clarity, reliability, and performance, helping you protect your property with confidence.
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 advanced AVM video surveillance system, powered by powerful CMS4 video management software, has earned the nickname “lightning-fast” from our clients, and for good reason. When paired with the latest generation of HD IP security cameras equipped with advanced AI technology, our system allows you to scan through days or even weeks of recorded footage in seconds. Instantly locate people or vehicles within specific zones without the need to manually scrub through hours of video.
This intelligent platform goes far beyond traditional motion detection. Using sophisticated Video Content Analysis (VCA), our system can accurately distinguish between irrelevant movement and meaningful activity, such as human presence or vehicle traffic. The result is faster searches, fewer false alerts, and immediate access to the footage that truly matters.
Whether you need to monitor entries and exits, track movement across your property, or investigate a specific event, our AI-powered video surveillance system transforms your cameras into a proactive security and management tool.
At Platinum CCTV, we’re not just keeping up with the evolution of security camera technology, we’re helping lead it. Our AVM platform delivers unmatched speed, precision, and control in video playback and analysis, providing a smarter, faster, and more reliable surveillance solution for modern homes and businesses. Smarter technology. Faster results. Stronger security. This is the future of video surveillance.
Our NVRs deliver, where others give only empty promises
Find Vehicles Instantly based on License plate
Our advanced License Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras are a popular choice for clients seeking the next level of intelligent security. When integrated with our powerful AVM NVR system, this cutting-edge solution can accurately capture license plates at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour, even in complete darkness. The system automatically reads each plate and stores the data in a fully searchable database, allowing you to instantly identify when specific vehicles enter or leave your property. Whether you're monitoring employee arrivals, tracking customer traffic, or securing a facility entrance, this technology provides unmatched convenience and efficiency.
But our ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras go far beyond simple recording. With real-time vehicle detection, the system can instantly notify you when designated vehicles enter your parking lot or facility long before anyone approaches your building. This proactive layer of security helps you stay ahead of potential threats while maintaining complete awareness of activity on your property.
By combining AI-driven license plate recognition technology with our advanced AVM surveillance platform, Platinum CCTV delivers a smarter, faster, and more proactive video surveillance solution. It’s not just about recording events, it’s about gaining actionable intelligence and maintaining full control over your security environment.
Smart Camera Alerts
Frustrated by endless false alerts from outdated motion detection security cameras? You’re not alone. Many traditional video surveillance systems overwhelm users with constant, irrelevant notifications, causing important alerts to be ignored and real threats to go unnoticed. At Platinum CCTV, we’ve redefined how security camera alerts should work. Our intelligent AVM NVR systems combine advanced video management software with precision engineered hardware to deliver smart, accurate notifications only when meaningful activity occurs. Instead of being bombarded with unnecessary alerts, you receive clear, reliable updates that help you focus on what truly matters.
Unlike conventional surveillance systems that simply record incidents after they happen, our technology takes a proactive approach to security. With advanced analytics and intelligent detection, our system can identify potential threats early giving you the opportunity to respond before situations escalate. With Platinum CCTV, you’re not just monitoring your property, you’re gaining a smarter, AI-powered video surveillance system designed to keep you informed, protected, and always one step ahead. Experience intelligent security technology that works for you, not against you.

"I have worked closely with staff at Platinum CCTV, specifically Michael Dunteman, in the course of doing my job. The company goes above and beyond in providing everything needed. I think I've gone back to request information five different times... completely my fault for not supplying everything I need the first time. Michael has gone out of his way to provide everything I ask for and more. They have streamlined the process of surveillance camera footage to supply a great product... but also to handle all retrieval/technical needs. I couldn't speak more highly of this company and Michael."
