Sometimes a good digital video image for security and surveillance purposes isn’t enough; that’s when a security camera with audio is needed for the job. Today many digital video cameras as well as the Digital Video Recorders or DVRs include audio as an option. If audio is an integral part of your system, be sure to check the camera’s specifications to verify that it is audio ready.
Security video software is a very broad term that can be used for many different functions. Security software is normally a responsibility of the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) as this is where the main computer processor and Digital signal processor are found.
Although the cable used for digital video security systems does not carry a high voltage charge, coax surge protection is still required to protect your system from lightening and even overzealous power outages, and power surges. If a surge makes its way to the camera or to the DVR your system could be destroyed.
You may be wondering what an infrared wireless camera is. It is a digital video camera that can capture digital video images in total darkness and does not require a coaxial video transmission cable run from the camera to the Digital Video Recorder or DVR.
A night infrared camera system can help you see what others can’t. Not only can it help you to see, but those being watched cannot detect the “light” that is used to “illuminate” the scene that they are in. What’s more is that an infrared camera system can give you the high resolution quality of daytime video recording and also the high resolution of nighttime video recording, without requiring much of a greater cost. To find out more about this type of system, read on.
An indoor camera system can be just as effective for providing specific room coverage as an outdoor camera system can in providing outdoor building perimeter coverage. Indoor camera systems have many more applications than just theft prevention and documentation. For example, an indoor camera system can also be a baby monitor, a patient monitor, a pet monitor, and an alarm system itself.
If it’s to monitor a parking lot or just being part of outdoor perimeter coverage for your home, you are going to need a weatherproof security camera. In the following article we’ll discuss ratings that are given for this purpose and some of the different types of weatherproof security cameras.
A multichannel security camera usually refers to a wireless security camera that has more than one frequency that it can transmit its video (and audio for some) data over to a corresponding receiver. The multichannel aspect is important to prevent cross talk, interference, or other reception problems.
If your digital video security and surveillance system has 16 cameras, you will more than likely need to get a 16 camera power supply. Unless your cameras are battery operated or PoE (Powered over Ethernet), they will require that a power line be run from a power distribution box or transformer to the camera.
A camera smoke detector is just one of several hidden or disguised cameras that are available through Security Camera King. There are times when covert digital video recording is not only necessary but actually required. Security Camera King has a large inventory of hidden cameras, wireless hidden cameras, and hidden cameras that contain their own Digital Video Recorder or DVR unit.
The security camera computer of a digital video security and surveillance system is basically the “brain” of the system. This is where the COmpression/DECompression or CODEC utility is normally used to shrink the size of the incredibly large digital video files made by the security camera. The security camera computer is also the central controller for the entire digital video system, coordinating all the actions of the components in the system.
With student safety being such a concern in schools today, not enough can be said about the importance of using a school security camera in every classroom. Even though most school systems utilize metal detectors at school entrances and some even require the students to carry only clear backpacks, this is apparently not enough to ensure adequate student-teacher safety and security. Admittedly there is not one single solution; a digital video school security camera system can supplement these security measures and greatly reduce in-school violence and at a minimum, at least provide documentation of inappropriate behavior.
A TV security camera system or a television security camera system is becoming one of the most popular tools for providing ultimate security and surveillance monitoring both for business and residential applications.. These systems are assembled by the user or installer with individual components, each of which may be specialized to suit the needs of the individual application. This makes replacement and changes easy while maintaining affordable prices.
One way to give yourself peace of mind in regard to your newborn child is to get a baby security monitor. Of course, a baby security monitor isn’t restricted for use with just babies, but may be used with young children at varying ages and even adults that are sick and are not ambulatory.
