Closed Circuit T.V. (CCTV)
Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) technology has improved significantly from the days of video cassette recorders (VCR). Gone are the libraries of magnetic tape. Gone is the burden of making sure that the VCR is working on a daily basis. Gone are the time consuming and tedious searches looking for that "one" incident.Todays advances in computer technology, processors and storage devices, have made the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) a reality. The DVR is a software driven system that allows for the recording and viewing of multiple cameras. A single system can be configured from 1 to 132 cameras. Each camera can be individually setup to capture the view that you want with anywhere from 1 Frame Per Second (FPS) to 30 FPS. The more frames recorded the closer to a "real-time" recording you obtain.
The cameras are wired into the DVR through cabling, coax or twisted pair connections. Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras, fixed cameras and wireless cameras are compatible and incorporated into the DVR software and operated with a user friendly interface. Retrieval of information is fast, easy, storable and legally usable in a Court Of Law. You can print pictures immediately or play an entire days activities back in minutes. Locating that "one" event is easy to do.
DVR systems can be networked or used as a stand alone unit. DVR's can be remotely accessed from your home or from anywhere through the internet or via modem. This feature allows you to "check-in" on your business and view the activity going on without actually being on the site.
DVR's come in different price ranges depending on the sophistication of the system needed. Some are designed for the lower end user such as a small shop owner while others are more appropriate for financial institutions or large industrial complexes.
The other component of these systems that often is overlooked is the camera. Cameras have changed a lot too. They are "chip" cameras with microprocessors producing the images that are turned into signals received by the DVR. They have gotten smaller, are more easily concealed, serviceable and produce better quality images than in the past. It is still the lenses, lighting conditions and view desired that create the final end product that produces satisfaction for you.
Cameras are available in Day/Night, Color or Black & White imagery and infra-red capable for night vision. An inexpensive camera does not have the lasting durability compared to a more expensive one but it may be easier on the budget. As always trade-offs are made between quality and price and DVR Camera systems are no different than any other product that you may buy. It is however an exciting technology that provides great results and has clear advantages over the older VCR.
