Different Cctv Camera Types And The Benefits They Provide

In the past, CCTV cameras were only one size: big and boxy. The advancement in technology has offered us many varieties of CCTV cameras to choose from. As CCTV cameras evolved into more sophisticated and sophisticated, CCTV system, has become a vital part of any company's security as well as business operations. So, in collaboration with experts from maxsolsecuritysystem. Let's look at a few of the most common kinds.

Analogue versus IP CCTV cameras

While some manufacturers will promote their IP-based solutions as the most efficient choice for new security camera however, there is an extensive legacy of conventional (standard definition/SD) analog systems, as well as a a growing number of high definition (HD) analog systems. Many of the cameras in this article are available as either digital or analogue versions.

The primary distinction between these two cameras is the method of transfer between the cameras and the recording system. IP cameras allow images be transmitted digitally (binary data) over a network, each camera having an IP address of its own in order to communicate back to the recorder.

IP systems utilize the camera to perform A/D and compression. This decreases the bandwidth required to stream video images on the internet, usually to a Network Video Recorder, though other storage options, such as cloud-based or server-based solutions are becoming more common.

With the increase in resolution and network/internet speeds have increased, IP cameras are becoming more and more common. Analogue systems can be cheaper and offer a greater bandwidth limitation however they do not have the same video analytics, scalability, and the cabling/wireless versatility of IP cameras.

High Definition (HD) and Ultra High Definition (UHD) Resolutions

High resolution (2MP) resolution is the minimum expectation today with many companies providing ultra-high definitions as standard on static camera models that have 4K (8MP) resolution, which is now standard for both HD analogue and IP cameras.

Generally speaking, cameras with ultra-high definition require more bandwidth to send their pictures to the recording system and limitations with processing very high resolutions may lead to a trade-off against frame rate.

Box cameras

Box cameras are the standard kind of camera. It has a front lens attachment and rear cables. Additionally, some box models come with a built-in lens and may even have zoom lenses, however these are not commonly used.

Fully integrated Camera Assemblies

Most other camera types are basically fully integrated, with camera, lens and housing inextricably combined at manufacture, trading operational flexibility for simplicity of installation. Available in various cases, they often include LED lighting.

Bullet cameras

Bullet cameras are named because of their cylindrical shape, however rectangular models are more popular today.

Cube Cameras

Cube Cameras are small blocks-shaped HD/UHD cameras equipped with fixed-focus lenses. They could also come with additional features such as:

PIR motion detector

Audio in two-way

Short range IR Illuminator

Dome CCTV cameras

Since CCTV users like them visually as opposed to the "white shoebox", domes have been the most sought-after housing for compact camera assemblies.

Featuring a hemispherical dome encasing the camera/lens module dome cameras can be found in a variety of settings, with many featuring vandal-resistant casings that are an element of crime-prevention strategies.
