IP security electronic camera technology includes a vast array of functions and innovations, enabling recording video in HD, adapt to varying light levels over the course of the shoot, and even adjust focus on your camera from another location. These attributes make your electronic camera more helpful and powerful, as you’re able to change them as required to fit your security requirements.

Physical characteristics of your camera will affect how the video is taped. A camera iris and image sensing unit collaborate to compensate for altering light levels to provide clear video. Other functionality options are located in your video camera’s software application, like Wide Dynamic Range, which serves to balance the light in a video after it’s taped, or video compression which allows for more video storage.

Advanced Electronic Camera Features

You have lots of options to choose from regarding your video camera’s available attributes, from iris type and which image sensor you wish, to what HD resolution level your system requires. Below you’ll find thorough descriptions of these video camera attributes in addition to suggestions of the finest use for each innovation.

HD Analog Technology

HD analog cameras combine effective HD resolution with analog CCTV innovation and are a cost effective alternative to IP video cameras. This enables video quality effective for license plate capture or facial recognition without updating your system to utilize IP technology.

HD Resolution

If your video camera will be utilized to determine identity, capture video to be utilized as evidence of a crime, or read license plates, you’ll want an electronic camera with HD resolution. HD cameras catch video in a bigger, clearer format than conventional cameras so you’re able to quickly identify what you’re looking at.

Wide Dynamic Range (WDR)

Recording in a location with varying light, where one area is excessively brilliant while another area of the room is always in shadow? Utilizing wide dynamic range (WDR), your security cam can balance the lighting in the whole video to make activity clearer and much easier to view.

PoE (Power Over Ethernet)

Utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE), an IP camera can maintain power and network connection with a single Ethernet cable. PoE making it easier to install your cams since their area is not connected to power outlets, so you are able to position electronic cameras in the very best place for a clear, unblocked view.

Cam Iris

Light plays an important role in how a security camera operates, and the video camera iris is the component that manages the quantity of light that gets through to the image sensors. Too little light, as well as too much, can affect your cam’s video quality.

PTZ Innovation

PTZ electronic cameras have the capability to tilt, zoom, and pan, so your security camera has more versatility than the typical fixed camera. With PTZ functions you can identify and follow suspicious activity.

Frame Rates

Frames per second (FPS), is a basic measurement of the number of frames your cam records per second. A higher frame rate makes videos progress smoother, essential when recording fast-moving items.

Edge/Local Recording

Whether you utilize edge/local recording as a backup to a NVR for instances when the equipment can not link, or as the main storage technique when tape-recording smaller sized or less videos, edge/local recording permits you to preserve video files straight onto the camera with a memory card.

Tamper Detection

Using tamper detection settings on your security cam, you can receive e-mail or SMS alerts if your cam is physically vandalized or assaulted, someone tries to cut the power to the video camera, or the electronic camera view is blocked, so you are instantly aware when something unusual occurs.

Remote Focus Lens

Remote focus makes it easy when you have to modify the focus of a monitoring camera after installation. This alternative in many cams enables you to utilize software to change the focus, without physically accessing a camera in an awkward location.

Image Sensors

Utilizing the light passed in by the video camera iris, the image sensing unit records the levels of light on each pixel to produce your monitoring videos. The brand-new CMOS image sensors permit video cameras to clearly record in HD resolution and produce videos with fast-moving things that will not end up fuzzy.

Video Compression

Important for communicating video within an IP system and for saving video files, video compression codecs eliminate or decrease unneeded files and frames per second without compromising your video’s image quality. A variety of video compression techniques are readily available for IP video cameras.

Vertical/Corridor Format

Utilizing a conventional, horizontally-oriented video camera in narrow spaces loses the electronic camera’s resolution and creates large than required files. Using vertically-oriented format, video cameras can take full advantage of resolution and reduce waste when recording in stairs, hallways, and more.
