UNIVIEW / SATSECURE CAMERA COMPARISON
OwlView vs TriGuard 3.0
A driveway at 8pm.
A locked yard at 2am.
Both need CCTV. They don't necessarily need the same camera. Here's where each one earns its place.
OwlView
Get more from the light that's already there.
TriGuard 3.0
Make the camera part of the response.
The difference
More features don't always mean a better fit.
TriGuard 3.0 uses OwlView low light technology too. The big difference is what it can do when somebody enters a protected area.
Active deterrence
TriGuard 3.0
Low light footage plus detection, flashing warning lights and audio.

Same scene. Very different detail.
An example of the difference OwlView imaging can make when available light is limited.

Open a job to see which camera I'd start with and what to check on site.
Job 01 / ResidentialA driveway after darkGood colour footage. No unnecessary disturbance.+
I'd start with OwlView
If there's some ambient light, OwlView can capture useful colour without needing bright light every time somebody walks past.
Check: Night time light levels and neighbouring properties.Explore OwlView → Job 02 / Restricted areaA locked commercial yardSomeone inside at 2am should get a warning.+
I'd look at TriGuard 3.0
Set a restricted zone and the camera can trigger lights and audio when a relevant target enters it.
Check: Detection boundaries, schedules and possible nuisance activations.Explore TriGuard → Job 03 / Public facingA busy shop frontagePassing footfall isn't automatically a threat.+
I'd start with OwlView
Use the available light to improve night footage, without warnings going off whenever people pass the shop.
Check: What is public space and what is genuinely restricted.Explore OwlView → Job 04 / Mixed siteFront entrance and rear compoundTwo areas. Two different requirements.+
I'd use both
OwlView at the public facing entrance. TriGuard where an after hours breach needs a visible response.

Confirm functions against the exact camera datasheet. Colour images still require available light, and deterrence must be configured to suit the site.
