FPS is a term that describes the processing speed of a series of still image frames. More specifically, for example, 15 FPS means that a processor can record a series of 15 still image frames in one second so that when the frames are played back for a viewer, in one second of time, the viewer sees all 15 frames in the sequence in which they were recorded, giving it the appearance of motion.
By using PSS DVR software, a computer system can be turned into a great center for surveillance monitoring. The PSS DVR software is compatible with numerous installations, and this makes it easy for those who are trying to switch to the system from a more traditional type of CCTV monitoring. People who are graduating to information technology applications for the first time will certainly be in for a treat, but they won’t have to give up any of the things they have become accustomed to with their current devices.
People who aren’t otherwise familiar with infrared technology might not have any idea what an outdoor IR illuminator is good for. It helps to have a good working knowledge of why infrared surveillance devices work they way they do. People who aren’t as knowledgeable about this area of surveillance might make a few mistakes when purchasing an outdoor IR illuminator device.
One of the most important specifications to consider when making your decision to purchase a security camera system is the camera resolution. If you don’t have the right camera resolution, you may end up allowing the person who committed the crime to be able to walk away due to the lack of picture quality. On the other hand, if you have exceptional quality in your new security system, you may end up being able to apprehend the criminal and get justice.
Resolution is one of the most confusing topics in the world of CCTV. The majority of people have a digital camera or a video camcorder. Almost everyone has probably heard the term megapixel as the common type of resolution comparison between the various makes and models. The larger the number is the better the picture quality is going to be, but a lot of people do not understand why that is exactly. Most of the cameras are still run on analog and the resolution is actually measured different than what everyone is used to, in the world of CCTV security cameras. Even though this is slowly changing, there is still going to be that need for people to understand what exactly the terms and technologies mean.

CCTV cameras are made in a variety of types and for a wide range of uses. Complicating the selection of cameras more are the variety of technologies within each category type.
In order to understand the range of cameras available to the general market, and useful for ordinary consumer applications, this article is divided into three sections: camera types, lenses, and technology types.
A good digital video surveillance system must have a good security DVR viewer. The Digital Video Recorder or DVR is the “brain” of the system and controls many if not all the functions of the system. This includes viewing video footage, whether it is live or recorded and played back at a later time.
Today video surveillance systems are as technologically advanced as the computer and are priced competitively as a security alarm system. Since most digital video security systems are computer compatible it makes sense that more and more people are using them, instead of simple burglar alarms.
What’s the difference, CMOS vs CCD? In the digital video security camera industry there are two types of sensors used to convert light images into (ultimately) electronic images. Those two sensors are the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor or CMOS and the Charged Coupled Device or CCD. In the following article, we’ll take a closer look at each and see how they are both similar and different.
The VGA to BNC converter is just one of the examples of a digital video security system taking advantage of the component type assembly that leads to its extremely high versatility. Most security video monitors use the BNC connector, although there are a few that can also accept VGA input. The VGA to BNC converter allows the user to connect a VGA output to a BNC output; such might be the case with a DVR that only has one output type available (VGA).
Security camera software can be though of as the glue that binds together digital video cameras and Personal Computers (PCs) or Macintosh Computers (Macs) as well as Digital Video Recorder (DVR) units for standalone systems. It’s also the heart of remote DVR monitoring applications (Apps) that allows your smartphone to access your video security system. In essence, it provides the programming that allows you to control the camera, monitor the camera, record the digital video files, and maintain and control the DVR.
