Video surveillance
Video surveillance is a very frequently used security tool. Due to technological development, surveillance cameras (analog or IP cameras) have become very effective monitoring tools. Whether you monitor staff, supervise cashiers and / or provide perimeter surveillance, the solutions can be tailored to guarantee peace and security for your business.
The hardest decision in terms of camera setup is choosing the type of camera (analog or IP camera room), as well as the model and specific capabilities to meet your monitoring needs. To choose the type / model of camera you need, you have to determine the final purpose of the camera (supervising of employees, monitoring the entry/exit into/from a building, monitoring cashiers, audio-video monitoring, live streaming etc.).
What differentiates one camera from another?
- The lens, that can belong to several categories – micro lens, fixed, IR, C-mount, CS-mount, varifocale, auto-iris, manual iris, motorized lens. For a close-up video surveillance solution, the lens is a very important factor;
- The positioning – indoor / outdoor (for enhanced protection, cameras can be equipped with protective enclosures);
- The amount of necessary brightness;
- The operation distance, the angle and surface to be covered;
- Camera type – fixed / mobile;
- Color or black / white camera;
- Image Resolution – 350, 400, 500 TVL (camera resolution is measured in lines – the higher the number of lines, the clearer the image).
- Cameras with or without sound
- Directly on locations, via DVR (Digital Video Recorder) for analog cameras or through NVR (Network Video Recorder) for IP cameras.
- Remotely, on your laptop / PC – using a web browser;
- Remotely, on smartphones – with specific applications.
How can you access the surveillance camera?
- CCTV (Closed Circuit TeleVision) will allow the recording and playback of images captured with your video surveillance camera by using a DVR or NVR (when using analog cameras).
- Remote on your laptop / PC - using a web browser;
- Remote on your smartphone - with specific applications.
CCTV (closed circuit television) will allow recording and playback of images captured with the surveillance cameras and watch on a DVR or NVR (when using analogcameras).
What should be considered when selecting the image recording equipment (DVR / NVR)?
- Frame rate (FPS) – the higher the frame rate, the clearer the image;
- Capacity of storing recorded images – hard drive capacity (HDD);
- Ability to connect remotely – it requires an internet access facility in order to view records from another location than the DVR’s location;
- Backup facilities – CD / DVD.
