Home security camera

November 28th, 2007 by Avital Guy

Home security camera can be an add-on to your alarm system. You have several options for surveillance solutions equipment – from one camera security DVR and monitors to the more advanced surveillance system including multi camera system with PTZ cameras and more.
Owning a home security camera can often help deter potential criminals. Home security camera can in different option form motion recording, event recording, continuous recording and more. You can enjoy remote access to your cameras from anywhere in the world. You can choose to put the home security camera in plain sight, or hidden area like smoke alarm security cameras, so the thief can’t disable the equipment. Sometime you put them in plain sight for everyone to see, and beware.
Incase a crime was committed Home security cameras can also help catch a thief after the crime. With it sophisticated recording equipment, a home security camera can record long periods weeks or months. Security DVR can allow you to quickly search for the event you’re looking for. You can then pass the media onto the police for further actions.
The most common benefit the home security camera offers is increased peace of mind. And extra level of protection lets you plan vacations and business trips where everything is recorded, and searchable
Home security cameras can range widely in price from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands depending on the technology and features. Call DVRMastrer.com if you would like to get more information.

Cable Selection for CCTV

November 10th, 2007 by Avital Guy

Coaxial Cable Selection for CCTV

RG-59/U is a designator for 75-ohm impedance coaxial cable which is mostly use in surveillance system ir CCTV installations there are several varietiesof CCTV cables,
each having some different characteristics, such as RG-6/U (18 AWG) and RG-11/U (16 AWG). These have larger gauge center conductors and are for use where longer cable runs are needed to install security camera at a long distance.
Two important known characteristics of coaxial cable are the gauge, or diameter, of the center conductor, and the type of shield surrounding the center conductor. A larger diameter center conductor will have less signal loss for a given distance.
Typical gauges available for CCTV and surveillance system install are RG-59 cables in 20 AWG
(American Wire Gauge), 22 AWG, and 23

The second vary important characteristic is the shielding. Cable for CCTV and security camera use should have a 95% coverage copper braided shield. The shield must be effective by conducting any externally induced voltages to ground. A good shield and a good electrical connection to the connector are of prime concern to produce high quality security system picture, especially at long distance camera install.
Cable Types available to you:
CATV cable typically has a copper-coated, solid steel center conductor and the shield is typically aluminum foil with a 40% aluminum braid. It does not make good connections with BNC-style connectors, and for that reason not recommended for CCTV and security camera install in particular, the twist-on style. The jacket of the cable is usually marked CATV indicating that this cable is designed for Community Antenna TeleVision systems. Another marking you can see on cables are , MATV Master Antenna TeleVision is also sometimes seen. Either marking indicates a cable construction designed for significantly higher frequency ranges than found in CCTV or any security DVR or security Camera application. CATV or MATV cable should never be used for CCTV systems.
 
The Cables that are mostly design for CCTV systems should have a good 95% coverage, braided-copper shield and a center conductor of 20 or 22 AWG copper fro Example the RG59 and Siamese, which include power and RG59 in one. The use of copper conductors is important in the frequency ranges used for baseband CCTV signals.
This type of RG59 cables is available in both stranded and solid center conductors. Stranded conductor would perform better where flexibility is a requirement, such as a camera mounted on a pan & tilt scanner assembly or in making connections to a chassis that is mounted on slides within a rack.
Twisted-pair cable, is onother option for sending an Video signal to long distances CAT 5 cable is most commonly use for digital network communication, but when use with a proper Baluns, you can use this cable for security camera and CCTV application. The CAT 5 is more economical. But its impedance and signal characteristics differ from those of coax. You can’t just attach it directly to video inputs and outputs.

It is vary important to know cable picture quality performance on long run so we can are installation and avoid un necessary cost

What is Security IP camera

November 2nd, 2007 by Avital Guy

An IP security camera is a security camera that is connected directly to an IP network. the IP security camera have a built in web server that allow the user to remotly open a web browser and point it to the ip fo the security camera. Most IP based surveillance camera have a web server with active X pages, which allow the user to watch live video from his internet explorer browser. basicaly an IP security camera can be described as a camera and computer combined in one intelligent unit. It captures and sends live images directly over an IP networkproviding live digital video for all kinds of surveillance and monitoring applications. remotly you can , store, and manage video over standard IP-based network for CCTV infrastructure. It operates independently and can be placed wherever there is an IP network connection wireless or wired network.
