There are three main types of cameras for CCTV solutions these are:
WIRELESS IP CAMERAS
Wireless IP cameras are increasingly popular, ideal for small-scale installations requiring up to two cameras. They utilise domestic Wi-Fi networks but can be affected by signal fluctuations and bandwidth contention with other devices. Continuous recording is possible on a 128GB memory card or longer with motion-activated settings. However, for more than a few cameras, a wired system becomes more cost-effective.
IP CAMERAS
IP cameras digitally capture and compress video for transmission over networks to a Network Video Recorder (NVR). They are configured with IP addresses to stream video to the NVR, either directly via cables or through network connections. IP cameras can operate independently, recording onto memory cards or streaming over the internet to remote storage facilities.
ANALOGUE CAMERAS
Analogue cameras have been a standard choice due to their cost-effectiveness, recording images line by line onto a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). They connect to the DVR via coaxial cables and are commonly used in existing infrastructures or where specialised camera features are needed. While historically cheaper, the price gap with IP systems has narrowed, making them suitable primarily for commercial or specific-use scenarios.
METHODS OF CCTV RECORDING
IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE
REMOTE RECORDING
​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 few cameras. This facility requires a monthly subscription.
VIDEO RECORDERS
For many years adapted video tape machines were used. However these are now long gone and desktop boxes have 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.
INSTALLED MEMORY
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.
