We offer three main types of CCTV cameras:
Wireless IP Cameras are becoming very popular and are particularly suited when only one maybe two cameras are required. They have limitations in that domestic WiFi signals can be fickle working perfectly one day and not another and they vie for bandwith with over devices on the network. Continuous images can be stored for a couple of days on a 128GB memory card or several weeks of images when the movement only setting is selected. It is not cost effective to install more that 2 or 3 WiFi cameras as it is then cheaper to install a wired system
IP Cameras captures video images digitally and compress the image to transmit over a network to the NVR (network video recorder). The recorder is programmed with IP addresses to receive these video streams and record them). The method of communication back to the NVR can be direct via cables or through the network on which the NVR is located. IP cameras can work independent of an NVR and record onto memory cards or over the internet to remote recording facilities
Analogue Cameras have been the standard system for the past decade or so, due to the price. It records images line by line and uses a digital video recorder (DVR) system to store files and upload them to a network. The camera is connected to a DVR via a coax cable. Once much cheaper than its rival the price differential has now reduced, and these systems are generally used commercially or where the infrastructure is already in place or where specialised cameras are required
The cameras are accessed over the internet by specialised companies who store the images offsite. The costs can be exorbitant if you require constant recording and can take up a large amount of data. The facility offered by Secure Home Electrics only records when motion or other activity is detected and is generally only suggested when there are a small number of cameras. This facility requires a monthly subscription.
For many years adapted video tape machines were used. However these are now long gone and desktop boxes are now taken their place. On analogue systems they are referred to as Digital Video recorders (DVRs) whereas Network Video recorders (NVRs) record IP cameras. In essence the functionality of both systems are the same except that DVRs have different inputs both record digitally onto hard drives. The DVRs installed by Secure Home Electrics also have the ability record a limited number of IP cameras as well as Analogue.
SD Cards are used in many cameras to act as a backup for remote or onsite monitoring. However they can also be used to record activity and for them to be accessed by APP.
Please note: Secure Home Electrics only install recorders with surveillance quality hard drives which are designed to be constantly overwritten rather than standard hard drive which hold data more permanently.
