By Nita McKinney


With the prevalence of crime nowadays, it is important to have some kind of protection available in your homes, office, or businesses. This why CCTV installers are needed so that you can install your systems safely. CCTV, or closed circuit television, is a way to have a peace of mind and security against crimes.

Studies suggest that installing surveillance cameras act as crime deterrent, and reports from the media suggested a decrease in the number of crimes reported where these cams are operating. If you are planning to buy a surveillance camera, the next step would be buying the one that fits your home. With so many options to choose from, one deciding factor could be the price, though these does not come too expensive.

Video resolution is probably one of things they ask first and, unlike other video recording devices, these use TV lines or TVL. They usually operate on analog systems and, just like pixels, the greater the number of TV lines, the picture quality is better. Those used in homes and business establishment uses 420 to 700 TVL whereas you can get higher resolutions from digital CCTV which does not come cheaply.

Internet viewing resolution is a consideration for options and it is measured in common intermediate format rather than PAL or NTSC. The higher the CIF, the more detailed the image, the more you can enlarge it. They are very advantageous in public places, which requires high security like banks, hotel front desks, government establishments and pawnshops since they might need it for identifications and facial recognitions.

Having high frame rates is also beneficial especially if you want to take fluid videos that does not have any twitches. Frame rate can be described as the number of shots taken in a second since all video device takes snapshot and replays them in succession that will result in the illusion of motion. Devices that record on 30 fps, frames per second, which is already a smooth footage.

When shopping for a surveillance package, you should think about where you want to place the devices in your premises. There are many waterproofs cameras available if you want place it outdoors and be able to withstand damages caused by the weather such as rain, snow, hail, and humidity. There are also others that have protection from dust, dirt, floating debris and can be put in places with a lot of humidity such as warehouses, factories, auto repair shops, and others.

You may also want video recorders with night visions and 24 hour recordings since crimes often happen at night and poor visibility can cause criminals to roam around freely. Night vision and infrared capabilities can capture quality images, despite having a dark surroundings. They can provide a great definition of people, objects, and animals and makes recognition and identification easier.

Some packages offer online viewing for its clients. It includes registering a domain name with the security company and having them set up a personalized web page to view your videos any time and anywhere. This is great when you want to keep an eye on your business or home while you go somewhere else and some even offer tracking via smart phones.

The package is not complete without a dependable DVR system which records all the video data and store it for future references. This usually requires a large disk space though it can be purchased from what you prefer, ranging from 500 GB to two TB. You can always ask for more information from CCTV installers if you plan to buy one.
