Security cameras

What is security camera?

Surveillance cameras are video cameras used for the purpose of observing an area. They are often connected to a recording device or IP network. Types of security cameras and how to choose? It could be confusing for one to choose security cameras for the surveillance system. At our online store cctvspot.co.uk you can find great range of almost all types of cameras.

The security cameras can be divided by the technology they use. Such as Turbo HD (Hikvision`s), HD-CVI (Dahua`s), IP (Hikvision`s and Dahua`s).

Security cameras differ by their shape. There are bullet, dome (turret) and compact cameras. Some may consider turret cameras more discreet than the bullet ones. The reality is that dome and bullet cameras can have one and the same features.

Cameras for security system also can be divided the type of lens they have. Here you will find cameras with fixed and vari-focal lens. The varifocal lens allows us to make an additional adjustment of the focus and the zoom. Dahua`s and Hikvisin`s cameras have two types of varifocal lenses – hand-held and motorized. Hand-held lenses can set on the camera side, as the name implies, with one hand. Cameras with motorized lens allows adjustment of focus and zoom through the recorder’s menu that makes them more easier to use and preferred by the installers. Another advantage of the motorized lens, if you decide to change the situation, is that the adjustment doesn’t cost time, nor effort.

As we`ve mentioned above there are also IP security cameras. Technically speaking IP camera is s a networked digital video camera that transmits data over a Fast Ethernet link. IP cameras (also called "network cameras") are most often used for IP video surveillance. The main benefits of IP camera is the ability for remote viewing and administration of the device. The option to send picture or stream video anywhere using its internet connectivity.

IP camera will give you the option to use video analytics. That means you can set your network to flag “events” that occur in the cameras' field of vision. This could be anything from motion detection to missing objects to tampering with the camera itself. IP camera gives you the option to adjust the frame rate, to achieve better video quality using progressive scanning, or alert you by sending notifications. Of course all that comes with the price which is higher than the price of Turbo HD or HD-CVI cameras.

Although a number of security cameras can be used both indoors and outdoors, there are a few key elements to consider when selecting your cameras. Often, indoor and outdoor security cameras have many of the same features such as infrared night vision and remote viewing. The main differences lie in durability. The primary difference between indoor and outdoor camera is that the outdoor camera can stand different types of external factors such as weather, vandalism. Meanwhile the indoor camera is meant to be installed indoors. Indoor cameras are more vulnerable due to the materials they are made from, but on the other hand they are lighter, smaller than the outdoor models. The simple rule is that outdoor camera can be used both outdoors and indoors. Indoor camera can be used only indoors.
