In the present world of technology if any person plans to install surveillance system, then he/she would surely go for video surveillance system. The main reason for this is ordinary surveillance system helps you to get the message of intrusive activity going on at your house or business. But it does not help you know about intruders. Video surveillance system helps the person to get information about the intruder, but for better result of video surveillance one needs to get proper information about its installation, resolution and about the location of video camera where they are to be installed.
With the help of real time video surveillance one can get piece of mind by allowing one to monitor one’s home, kids and keep an eye on business. It is surprising to imagine a person’s capability to remotely see through the real-time or archived footage of one’s business and home. One should know about certain installation features and details. Wireless camera setups are mostly preferred by owners. The reason for this is that wireless cameras are easily installable and it facilitates the owner to change the location of camera as needed without setting up new wires and other damage to your place for other installation purpose. Wired camera setups are used in larger homes and business. But these require cable being run to Digital Video Recorder (DVR) through lines of low voltage, so one won’t necessarily need a contractor for installation purposes.
Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is a recording device that accepts recording from maximum number of cameras. So if you are covering a large area with video surveillance security systems you would require many more DVR channels. There are basically two types of cameras used in DVR system: analog cameras and IP cameras. Analog cameras capture images and send them to DVR via analog signals. DVR transmits these images over internet as one Internet Protocol (IP) address stream. This type of method for sending the images provides an efficient use of band width and this system is cost-effective on per camera as well. The difference between analog and IP camera is IP camera sends every stream separately with unique IP address. Business centers already have IP networks installed, so there is no extra need for additional cabling. IP digital cameras have capability of capturing images with higher resolution than analog signals. So if one needs image clarity then analog camera may not be the right choice to go with. IP digital cameras are also less likely to be interfered by other wireless devices. Footage recorded by video cameras can be accessed on your laptop, desktop or on mobile phone. You can also receive text alerts by choosing from various options from remote access capabilities.
You will need some storage device to store the footages recorded by the cameras. Say as if you are having four cameras installed at your house or business and you need to store footages of five days (without audio) you need to store footages of all cameras then you need to have 50GB storage space. Some surveillance system comprises of video compression feature which helps you reduce the size of footage and increase memory capacity further. So before installing video surveillance you need to check for above mentioned requirements.
