The one that follows
P5-5LRV(33x)A AIPTZ 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.
AI-powered CCTV that tells people and vehicles from everything else, flags the activity that matters and helps you make better security decisions. Go beyond recording what happened to understanding what is happening across your site.
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 AIFixed 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) AIDual-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 AIExplosion-proof PTZ
Explosion-proof, for the zones standard cameras are not built for. Oil, gas, manufacturing.
The one that ties it together
HOLOWITS S7700Video analysis platform
Where footage from every camera becomes something you can search, not something you have to scroll.
Keep what already works. Upgrade on your terms.
Many modern IP cameras support ONVIF, which can help them work with compatible surveillance systems. Our team assesses your existing equipment to determine what can be retained, what needs upgrading and where new AI-enabled cameras will make the biggest difference.
Plenty of model variations to choose from across each category.
43 models across 5 groups, and the whole Holowits catalogue behind them.

Ask for the full range
Tell us the site and what it needs. We will specify it from the whole Holowits catalogue, not just the models above.
Ask for the full rangeThe 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.
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.
Intelligence for every environment.
The same capabilities do different work on different sites. These are the ones each environment leans on.
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.
Authorised, installed and supported here
CBC Surveillance is Holowits’ registered authorised channel in Nigeria. We work alongside the Holowits team to assess your site, install the right system and support it for its working life.

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
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.
Better 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
What is AI surveillance, and how is it different from ordinary CCTV?
Ordinary CCTV records footage for someone to review after something has happened. AI surveillance cameras analyse the picture as they capture it: they tell people and vehicles from branches, rain and headlights, raise an alert when something crosses a line or zone you have drawn, and read number plates on arrival.
The result is fewer false alarms and an alert while there is still time to act, rather than a recording to search through afterwards.
Where in Nigeria do you install?
Anywhere in the country. CBC Surveillance is based at CBC Towers in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, and installs and supports systems across Nigeria, including Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Every project starts with a survey of the site itself.
How much does an AI CCTV system cost in Nigeria?
It depends on the site, so every quote follows a survey. What sets the price is the number of cameras, which AI features each needs, how much footage you keep and for how long, the cabling and network work, and the backup power the recorder and switches need.
Phasing the work and keeping compatible cameras you already have both bring the first outlay down. Ask for a quote and we will price your site specifically.
Who installs Holowits cameras in Nigeria?
CBC Surveillance, the security and monitoring company of the CBC emea group, specifies, installs and supports Holowits AI cameras in Nigeria. Its engineers trained with Holowits in Shenzhen, and its installations include AI camera systems across Prince Ebeano Supermarket outlets.
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.
