IP CCTV
The communication between the camera and the Recorder is thru an IP (TCP/IP) based protocol, hence there is very little loss of picture quality. Since there is an onboard computer on this camera, this is more expensive than the Digital CCTV. Best video quality and hence with higher resolution cameras we get best digital zoom which is useful for zooming post recorded content
DIGITAL CCTV SYSTEM
The communication between the camera and the Recorder is thru digital electrical signals via a coaxial cable or a UTP cable. Picture quality is better than the traditional Analogue CCTV systems but a grade lower than the IP based CCTV systems. Price wise this provides the best value for money
ADVANTAGES OF CCTV SYSTEMS
- Proactive deterrent to reduce crimes before they can occur. Studies shows that the visible presence of a CCTV gives a feel of ‘Someone is watching me’ and hence reduces crimes
- Provides evidence which can be used to settle legal disputes
- Unlike Human security, this is 24/7
- Can provide remote watch over factories and offices thereby increasing productivity
A CCTV System comprises of Camera, Recorder box, Hard disk, connectors, wiring, power supply, accessories and installation services. Depending upon the above, pricing can vary. A complete one camera system can start from about 4,000 onwards. The quality of cable used should not be compromised as this is the backbone of the CCTV system. You can find many fly-by-night operators/local electricians who will provide cabling at very low pricing but this temptation should be avoided in the interest of keeping you investment secure. You can either go for a complete solution/turn key solution provider to get the design and project execution or you can buy the material (if you fully understand what to buy) and deploy experienced installers. It would be wise to buy a service AMC in such a case.
CCTV CAMERA STORAGE CAPACITY
Video footage is stored on the Hard disks that are inside the recorder box. Typical 15 days of storage is needed, but based on your requirement you can ask for more. Many IP based cameras have a provision of SD card recording, these SD cards provide a temporary backup in case of communication failures.
