CCTV Cameras

A reliable and secure CCTV camera installation requires a well thought out plan and execution for your protected sites or monitoring requirements.

What are CCTV Cameras?

There are several CCTV cameras available that are made for do-it-yourself installation. Sadly, if anyone can put them up, anyone can also take them down, get around, or damage them. A reliable and secure CCTV camera installation requires a well thought out plan and execution for your protected sites or monitoring requirements.

Furthermore, the recorder (DVR / NVR) of the system is an essential part of the CCTV system and its specifications should be carefully planned to ensure that you can monitor and store your critical footage without any interruptions or data loss.

What are CCTV Cameras?

Video Recorders

Both NVR and DVRs are fundamentally used for video recording. Digital video recorder is referred to as a DVR, whereas network video recorder is referred to as an NVR. The manner in which NVR and DVR process video data differs. At the recorder, DVR systems process the video data. In contrast, NVR systems do the video data processing and encoding at the camera before streaming it to the NVR recorder for storage and remote viewing.

DVRs and NVRs need different kinds of cameras because they process video data in different ways. While most DVRs are used with analogue cameras, NVRs are typically utilised with IP, or internet protocol, cameras. It's crucial to remember that an NVR system can be wireless, whereas a DVR-based system is a wired security system.

CCTV Storage Options

Everything that is captured by CCTV security cameras can be recorded. However, you'll discover that preserving everything soon uses up internal storage space. Storage space can get rather expensive. Because of this, you might think about setting your security camera to only capture video at specific times of day or when motion is detected. By doing this, you can avoid the trouble of frequently purchasing additional storage space to archive the continuous stream of video.
