Advance Features of Modern CCTV

The quality of Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) systems has substantially improved in recent years because of technological advancements. High-end security systems are now readily available and reasonably priced for use by businesses and even homes. Here are five characteristics of CCTV camera systems you might not be familiar with:

Night Vision

A once-common function of expensive cameras, albeit even then, the quality was dubious. Modern professional CCTV systems, which are installed in homes, can now recognize persons within 20 meters and have a view range of up to 50 meters. For the majority of applications, these systems—which typically employ infrared night vision technology—are more than adequate. 

The use of thermal imaging is more suited if more sophisticated night vision is needed. Thermal radiation is produced by all things with a temperature greater than absolute zero, even at very low doses. Thermal imaging sensors can pick up this type of radiation, which is undetectable to the human eye. 

By sensing temperature changes between an item and its surroundings, thermal cameras may create visual pictures. The greater the disparity, the greater the contrast variation, which enhances the visibility of details. Thermal cameras have greater application potential than visible light cameras in more difficult conditions.

Motion Detection

Motion detection technology is no longer just used in movies like James Bond or Mission: Impossible. Nowadays, almost all IP-based basic CCTV systems have some sort of motion detection. By only keeping recordings when movement has been detected within the frame, current systems employ motion detection to extend the amount of time that can be stored on the recorder.

Even more amazing is how simple it is to set the system up to disregard specific elements of the frame, like trees or flags, so the wind won’t compromise your security. To spot potentially unsafe activity or occasions when individuals are in places that should be off-limits, motion detection may also be employed in commercial and warehouse applications. 

IP (Internet Protocol)

Two distinct camera technologies, IP and HD-TVI, are likely to be present when choosing a new CCTV system. Although some vendors may promote HD-TVI cameras because they may be marginally less expensive, IP is by far the superior technology in terms of picture quality and adaptability. 

Installing IP cameras significantly improves video quality and increases the capacity of video compression, allowing for the storage of high-quality video for longer. You can connect IP cameras directly to the internet for secure remote access rather than having to connect to an NVR first, which can provide an additional level of flexibility for large-scale installations. 

IP also offers some flexibility when it comes to using camera locations for other aspects of a “Smart Home.”

Remote Accessibility

When do you want to make sure your home is secure by checking your security cameras? When you’re not at home, of course.

Any modern security camera installation comes included with the ability to access the system remotely. Many home systems with 4 or 8 cameras include an NVR (Network Video Recorder) that the seller will bundle with a phone app for the owner’s convenience and usage. 

This gives complete mobile phone access to all cameras in a secure manner to ensure you’re the only one watching your property. 

NVRs or independent software that is placed on a server can be used in larger commercial systems to give more complex functionality, such as raising alarms or unlocking doors.

PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom)

A PTZ camera is a camera with remote directing and zooming capabilities. This capability often comes with somewhat more expensive cameras, but they are still within reach for the majority of household installations. 

The advantages of having this capability are clear since the owner can zoom in on activities without having to manually adjust the camera angle. 

PTZ may also be utilized with cameras that are mounted at a height to offer the best visibility while wide-angle, but also having the ability to zoom in for close examination. 

All of these functions have recently been combined in the majority of regular CCTV packages. Make sure you’ve thought through the necessity for the aforementioned features before choosing a camera package and the firm to install it. 

Then, ask the installer how they may be utilized in your house or place of business the most efficiently.
