Posted on March 3, 2017 in Security Cameras Retail Security     Quality matters when it comes to security camera monitors, and there’s a big difference between professional security-grade monitors and standard consumer-grade displays. You may think that a standard consumer-grade LCD monitor is acceptable for video security applications and will save you money.

1.The easy path to network video The introduction of network video has revolutionized video surveillance in many ways. 1. IP-based video surveillance systems bring many important benefits, such as vastly improved image quality, better scalability, event management, intelligent video and - in many cases lower cost of ownership. Nevertheless, it is too early to claim that this development has rendered all analog CCTV surveillance sys obsolete and useless. The technology shift does not force security managers to immediately choose between either an IP-Surveillance system or an analog video surveillance system. It is in fact possible to combine the two, thereby...

fixed lens camera, is a camera lens with a fixed lens which you can't adjust the focal length, angle of view and also level of zoom. but almost of all fixed lens cameras are wide angle and also smaller than varifocal cameras. varifocal lens cameras,  is a camera lens with variable focal length in which focus changes as focal length (and magnification) changes, as compared to parfocal ("true") zoom lens, which remains in focus as the lens zooms (focal length and magnification change). Many so-called "zoom" lenses, particularly in the case of fixed lens cameras, are actually varifocal lenses. Usually the...

  The IP rating system The IP Code (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating*) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof. The rating’s first digit e.g. IP66 relates to the ingress protection against dust (6 means dust tight,...
