- Evaluate your needs: Do you want to monitor general comings and goings? Do
you want to see faces, merchandise, crowds? Do you need wireless or wired CCTV
security cameras? Do you need an indoor and/or indoor cctv camera systems? Do
you need a 1, 2, 8 or 16 camera system? What is your budget?
- Select the type of camera: There are two types of CCTV cameras, CMOS and CCD
which are the image sensor. CMOS based cameras are cheaper but do not produce as
clear and sharp image as CCD cameras.
- Select black and white or color: If you are going to use the cameras in an
environment where the light conditions are very low, it is recommended to buy a
black and white CCTV camera system. Color should only be considered for inside
use with good lighting conditions.
- Understand light level: One of the most important specifications. Light
levels are measured in Lux. The lower the number, the less light it will take to
reproduce a clear image.
- Understand resolution: The higher the resolution number, the sharper the
image will be. Entry level camera resolution is 330 lines, high resolution
cameras producing better than 400 lines.
- Select a monitor that will match the resolution of your CCTV camera system.
- CCTV cameras system recorders: DVR (digital video recorder) which record
onto hard drives is the best option.
