Features of Surveillance Cameras CCTV Installation offered by Dataworld.

• Night Vision- Once a feature of high-end camera’s and even then, the quality was very questionable. Modern professional (but residential based) CCTV systems now have the capability of identifying people within approximately 20 meters and have visibility of up to 50 meters. These systems are generally using an infrared night vision technology and are more than sufficient for most applications. In the event that more advanced night vision is required the utilization of thermal imaging is more appropriate
• Motion Detection -No longer is motion detection technology restricted to the likes of James Bond or Mission Impossible movies. Almost all standard IP based CCTV systems now come with a level of motion detection. The modern systems use motion detection to increase the period of time that can stay on the recorder by only actually retaining recordings where something within the frame has been detected as moving
• IP (Internet Protocol)-When selecting a new CCTV system, you’re likely to come across two different technologies for camera’s, IP and HD-TVI. Although some suppliers will push HD-TVI camera’s because they may come out to be slightly cheaper the best technology in terms of picture quality and flexibility is IP by far. Installing IP cameras provides a significant increase in quality and ability to compress video footage to retain higher quality footage for a longer period of time.
• Remote Accessibility-Remote Access capability is a standard feature of any modern security camera installation. A lot of residential systems with 4 or 8 cameras’ come with an NVR (Network Video Recorder) that will come with a phone app from the vendor for easy setup and use by the owner, this provides full mobile phone access to all camera’s in a secure way to ensure you’re the only person with eyes on your property
• PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom)-A PTZ camera is one that is capable of providing remote directional and zoom capability. Generally, this feature comes with slightly higher-end camera’s, but still well within the budget for most residential installations. The benefits of this feature are obvious, with the owner having the option to zoom in on activity happening without having the manually change the camera angle.
