Have a challenge and don’t know where to start?  We can help with an approach that translates a formless desire into discrete tangible capabilities and requirements.   Sometimes an answer comes from a change in behavior, not technology.   A well constructed Needs Analysis acts as the reference point by which all design elements and technology tradeoffs are evaluated.  This forms the roadmap that you might use to assess how well an implemented solution answers your original need.

A good system design:
- Translates capabilities and requirements (based on needs) into technology options.  
- Shows how the technologies interrelate. 
- Pinpoints critical areas where a small change might influence the aggregate performance of the system. 
- Is the basis of all cost/benefit trade studies. 
- Is the platform for understanding why and how a certain technology is required to meet your fundamental need. 
- Is the common language through which all the disciplines communicate, to ensure we’re all “on the same page”.  

More often than not, if an installation fails, the root cause sources back to the lack or inadequacy of the system design document.   Katalytic’s strength derives from our formal training and experience in complex systems engineering, military physical security design and operation, and advanced technology exploration and application.  By mastering the difficult, all else is simple. 

We do our best work when we are enabled to control all the variables:
- We have the best designers in the industry
- We are direct dealers for an abundance of high quality suppliers
- We work well with others
- We live for the smile on your face when the job is completed to your satisfaction
- We grew up in an environment where the lives of our colleagues depended on our abilities.

Let us surprise you with the depth of our solution, and the quality of our execution.  You’ll understand why clients, who can afford any integrator in the world, trust Katalytic to solve their most important challenges.   

We frequently work with associate contractors who provide the signal cables, audio/visual equipment, and other support equipment for a video system installation. We’ve occasionally install systems that have been designed and sourced by anothers. Lately, because “aesthetic blending” is a core competency of ours, we’ve treated others existing camera enclosures to match a sample of wood or wall finish.

We need not do it all. In fact, our ability to break out large work elements to a local source has resulted in significant cost savings, as well as favorable working relationships with General Contractors, Interior Designers, Architects, and business owners. We aren’t territorial and we work well with others. We enjoy sharing.

You have your own design. 
You know exactly what technology you need. 
You have your own sources for installation, integration, and testing.  
Give us your parts list and let’s see how we can amaze you. 
We are authorized dealers for Pelco, Sensormatic/American Dynamics, DynaPel, Samsung, ActivEye, Cernium, Muxlabs, FMSystems, Allied and many more. 

Need a kitted solution?  We can provide all the connectors, cabling, power supplies, along with the core technology, even installation tools, drop shipped from the factory, directly to your installation site.

Do you have a large existing investment in convention surveillance and want to move up to the next generation of intelligent video?
Perhaps your networks are fine but your cameras or recorders are decades old.
We can work within your existing infrastructure to implement today’s advanced technologies, with a minimum of duplication and replacement waste.
We employ a wide array of signal transmission media, and signal processing technologies to expand the channel carrying capacity of existing wiring.
Our installation experts are wizards at uncovering your underutilized resources to help you expand capacity without tearing your facility apart, or killing your budget.
Most importantly, we take the time to look.

We’ve been astounded by how easy it is to improve an existing system’s effectiveness by adjusting the components—mostly at the camera end:
- Night vision cameras that are clear during the day, and out of focus at night, because they have the wrong lens or improper installation technique.
- Color cameras that need a little help with the video signal, or an adjustment of the signal parameters.
Adjustment using our digital tools and optical filters can make an enormous difference in video system effectiveness.
Our core applications place a premium on expert installation done once, and forgotten.
We’ve developed tools and techniques that can improve the performance of any system—usually with little if any new components.
