To keep their home or office safe, owners resort to equipment such as a video surveillance camera. In the wide range offered by manufacturers, it is quite easy to get confused. What parameters should you pay attention to when choosing a surveillance video camera?
Instructions
Step 1
Decide which type of camera will be most suitable for you: color or black and white video camera. Each of them has both its disadvantages and a number of advantages. So, a black and white camera will cost you much less, while it shows better visibility results even in minimal lighting. Color cameras, in turn, allow you to convey the colors of objects that fall within its range. Thus, you need to proceed from the tasks assigned to the device.
Step 2
Use the so-called "Day / Night" camcorder, which operates in monochrome mode in low light conditions, and when there is enough light, it turns on color mode.
Step 3
Determine how high-definition video camera you need to purchase. If you want to monitor an object that will be at a sufficiently large distance from the camera itself, as well as in the event that you need to see sufficiently small details, you should give preference and choose video cameras with a high resolution.
Step 4
Analyze the resolution of the camcorder models. Please note that the higher the resolution of the surveillance camera, the better. Choose the model with high resolution. This will make it possible to get a clear, not blurry picture on the monitor.
Step 5
Pay attention to the sensitivity of video cameras, as this parameter will affect the overall quality of the transmitted image in poor lighting conditions or at night.
Step 6
Calculate what angle of view your surveillance camera should have. Select the most suitable camcorder for your particular installation location.
