The one that follows
P5-5LRV(33x)A AI · PTZ dome with intercom
Tracks movement across a compound on its own, 33× optical zoom, and talks back through a built-in intercom. The camera the rest of a site is designed around.
CBC Surveillance × Holowits
Security that thinks.
Most cameras record what already happened. These ones notice what is happening, and tell you while there is still time to do something about it.
The range
Five places to start
The intelligence is much the same across the range. What differs is where each one belongs.
The one that holds a line
P4-5R(2.8-12)A AI · Fixed dome
Points at one approach and watches it properly. Takes new algorithms over its life without being replaced.
The one that sees at night
E1B-5LRV(2.7-12) AI · Dual-optical bullet
Full colour after dark rather than infrared grey. 50m infrared, 30m white light, audio on board.
The one for hazardous areas
U9-4R(33x)A-Ex AI · Explosion-proof PTZ
Explosion-proof, for the zones standard cameras are not built for. Oil, gas, manufacturing.
The one that ties it together
HOLOWITS S7700 · Video analysis platform
Where footage from every camera becomes something you can search, not something you have to scroll.
Before you replace anything
Keep what already works. Upgrade on your terms.
If your existing cameras speak ONVIF, the open standard most modern IP cameras use, they can stay on the new system. We check what you have during the site survey and tell you which cameras are worth keeping.
The five above are where most sites start. The range goes further.

Ask for the full rangeThe problem
The camera was working. That was never the problem.
Traditional CCTV is a recording device. It captures everything and understands none of it, and the footage only becomes useful once something has already gone wrong.
It records. It does not watch.
Forty screens at three in the morning, and nobody sitting in front of them.
It answers the wrong question.
“What happened?” is a question you only get to ask afterwards.
It only helps if you go looking.
Footage nobody reviews is storage. It is not security.
None of that was a bad decision. It was the best available when you made it. The technology moved.
What changes when the camera can think
The camera still records. What is different is that it also understands what it is looking at, as it happens, and can act on it.
It knows a person from a shadowClassification separates people and vehicles from branches, rain, insects and headlights.
Motion detection triggers on anything that moves, which in Lagos means every branch, every downpour, every set of headlights sweeping a wall. Classification asks a different question: is this a person, a vehicle, or neither. Alerts that survive that filter are worth walking across a site for.
P5-5LRV(33x)A AI · P4-5R(2.8-12)A AI
It watches the line so nobody has toDraw a perimeter. The system tells you when something crosses it.
Line crossing and area intrusion are drawn on the footage itself, not fenced in hardware. A loading bay can be open by day and armed after six without anyone rewiring anything.
E1B-5LRV(2.7-12) AI
It sees in colour after darkDual-optical imaging keeps full colour at night, where infrared gives you grey shapes.
Infrared tells you a person was there. Colour tells you what they were wearing, which car they got into, and whether the footage is worth anything to anyone afterwards. 50m infrared and 30m white light on the bullet.
E1B-5LRV(2.7-12) AI
It reads number platesVehicles identified on arrival, matched against a list, gates opened or not.
Staff and resident vehicles pass without a guard leaving the post. Everything else gets logged with a plate attached, which turns a car park recording into something searchable.
PM LPR200A · PM LPR600AE, in the wider range below
It notices loitering and crowdingSomeone waiting too long at an ATM. A queue building past what the space can hold.
Dwell time and crowd density are the two behaviours that precede most incidents in banking halls and retail. Both are measurable, and both raise an alert before anything happens rather than after.
P5-5LRV(33x)A AI · P4-5R(2.8-12)A AI · E1B-5LRV(2.7-12) AI
It decides where the decision belongsIntelligence at the camera, at an appliance on site, or at a central platform.
Processing on the camera keeps working when the network does not. Processing centrally sees every camera at once and finds the pattern no single camera can. Most sites want both, split by what each decision actually needs.

Where it applies
Where this earns its keep
Banking
Someone loitering at the ATM vestibule long after the branch has closed. Flagged while they are still standing there.
Estates & facilities
A perimeter that used to need four guard posts, watched by a system that only calls someone when there is a reason to.
Hospitality
Entrances, car parks and back of house covered without a wall of monitors, and without a member of staff watching them.
Public infrastructure
Vehicle and pedestrian movement understood at the gate, recorded in a form you can actually search afterwards.
Industrial, oil & gas
Explosion-proof cameras for the zones where standard equipment is not allowed to go.
Why CBC
Authorised, installed and supported here
CBC Surveillance is Holowits’ registered authorised channel in Nigeria. We specify the system, install it, and support it afterwards.
Our engineers have been to the factory, worked with Holowits’ own teams, and installed this equipment on Nigerian sites under Nigerian conditions.

The cheapest camera is the one you do not have to replace
Fewer cameras, same ground
A camera that classifies what it sees covers what previously took two or three, because it is not being defeated by a moving branch.
Fewer false alarms, less wasted response
Every alert that turns out to be a cat is a guard walking across a site for nothing, and one more reason to start ignoring alerts.
It improves without new hardware
The P4-5R(2.8-12)A AI and the P5-5LRV(33x)A AI are software-defined: new algorithms load onto cameras already on your wall, so they get better over their working life instead of being ripped out for the next generation.

Questions
Will this work with the cameras we already have?
Yes, if your existing cameras speak ONVIF, the open standard most modern IP cameras support. They can stay on the new system. We check what you have during the site survey and tell you plainly which cameras are worth keeping and which are holding you back.
Do we have to replace everything at once?
No. Most sites phase it. We agree an order based on what matters most and what the budget allows, then work through it. Compatible cameras stay where they are while the priority areas get done first.
How quickly can you start?
Installation typically begins within 24 to 48 hours after your order is placed, provided the equipment is in stock and the site is ready for us.
What does installation involve, and how long does it take?
We start with a site survey and a system design. Once that is agreed, we configure and deploy the cameras, recorders and network equipment on site.
How long the work takes depends on how many cameras there are and what the site needs before they go up. What does not vary is when we start.
What happens when the internet goes down?
Recording carries on. Footage is written to the recorder’s own drives on site, so an outage costs you remote viewing and any cloud features until the connection returns. It does not cost you footage.
What are the power and network requirements?
The system needs a stable network and reliable power. In practice that means backup power. Cameras usually draw power over the network cable, so the recorder and the switch are the parts that need protecting. We size all of this as part of the design.
Where is the footage stored, and who can see it?
On the recorder’s drives on site, in the cloud, or both, depending on how the system is designed. Access is by named account with permissions you set, so people see the cameras their role requires and nothing else.
The footage is yours. Where you record and who you record carries obligations under Nigerian data protection law, and that is worth factoring into the design.
Who supports it after installation?
CBC Surveillance’s own technical team, here in Nigeria. Support and maintenance are available as an ongoing service, priced against the size of the system.
What is the warranty?
One year on the equipment.
