The Latest Technology
Staying one step ahead of the technology curve…
In the fast-paced security space, there are significant advantages to being new to market. All Alibi products feature the latest advances in security technology – offering higher performance and enhanced flexibility, at lower prices. Regardless of your application, technology preference, or budget – Alibi’s Analog, HD-TVI, and IP solutions deliver unparalleled value.
Cutting-Edge Components
Alibi cameras are engineered with premium components to deliver exceptional performance, quality, and durability. Cameras feature high-quality lenses, the latest image sensors, electronic photo sensors, long-life IR LEDs, advanced heat dissipation, extreme temperature ratings, and rugged housings with pro-seals.
High-Resolution Recording
Alibi recorders are engineered to optimize recording resolution – to reproduce the high-quality images captured by Alibi cameras, without limitation. Alibi offers recording resolutions up to 960H (analog – 33% higher than D1), 2.1 MP (HD-TVI), and 5.0 MP (IP). In addition, all Alibi recorders use surveillance-optimized WD Purple hard drives, designed to run cooler and last longer for applications requiring continuous recording capabilities.
Exceptional Image Quality
Image quality is a function of components and engineering, and is far more complex than a simple resolution rating. Alibi cameras currently deliver up to 700 TVL (analog), 1080p/2.1 MP (HD-TVI), and 5.0 MP (IP) – however, our camera image quality consistently equals or out-performs the competitive cameras with like resolutions… often at a fraction of the price. But don’t take our word for it – call for a live online demo and see for yourself!
HD-TVI Technology
HD-TVI is the latest in HD analog technology, and delivers significant advantages relative to other HD analog formats. HD-TVI is capable of supporting longer cable runs – up to 1600’ on RG59, and up to 650’ on CAT5 – and transmits video with ZERO latency! HD-TVI delivers up to 2.1 megapixel images, at significantly lower cost than comparable IP technology, and is as simple as analog to install and operate.
Designed for Simplicity
Because security can be simple… without compromising on performance
We believe that technology choice should be determined by your application and budget requirements – NOT limited by technology experience or concerns about installation complexity. ALL Alibi solutions are designed to deliver a simple experience – from installation to operation. Even Alibi IP solutions are virtually plug-and-play, featuring integrated PoE, IP camera auto-discovery and auto-configuration.

Forward-Thinking
Peace of mind today… without being penalized tomorrow
Alibi solutions are designed to easily scale as your surveillance capabilities, security needs, or budget grows.
