CCTV Surveillance System

There are many different types of CCTV cameras available, each suited for specific purposes. Here’s a breakdown of some common types and their uses:

By Form Factor:

• Bullet Cameras: Cylindrical shape, weatherproof casing, ideal for outdoor use and monitoring large areas. (Used in parking lots, building perimeters)
• Dome Cameras: Discreet, vandal-resistant dome housing, suitable for indoor or outdoor use. (Used in hallways, lobbies, retail stores)
• PTZ Cameras (Pan-Tilt-Zoom): Rotates horizontally and vertically, zooms in for detail, ideal for monitoring large areas with precise control. (Used in casinos, airports, traffic junctions)

By Technology:

• Day/Night Cameras: Provide clear images in both well-lit and low-light conditions. (Used in entrances, exits, areas with fluctuating light)
• Infrared (IR) Cameras: Use invisible infrared light for clear night vision. (Used in completely dark environments)
• IP Cameras: Connect directly to a network for remote viewing and recording. (Used for flexible installation and remote monitoring)
• Wireless Cameras: Transmit video signal wirelessly, offering easier installation but potentially lower video quality. (Used in temporary installations or areas with difficult cable routing)

By Functionality:

• ANPR/LPR Cameras (Automatic Number Plate Recognition): Capture and read license plates of vehicles. (Used in parking lots, toll booths, security checkpoints)
• Thermal Cameras: Detect heat signatures even in complete darkness or through smoke or fog. (Used for perimeter security, critical infrastructure)

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a CCTV camera:

• Resolution: Higher resolution (HD, 4K) offers sharper images for better identification.
• Weatherproofing: For outdoor use, choose cameras with weatherproof casings.
• Field of View: Select a camera that covers the desired area effectively.
• Storage: Decide on storage options like Network Attached Storage (NAS) or cloud storage.
