Video Surveillance for Home or Business

Posted on by
Serving Homes and Businesses in Oregon / Washington since 2005!

Make sure that you do your research!  Ask questions!

Buy 4K/8-12 Megapixel (4K is 4 X Higher Resolution than 1080p)

► NVR = Network Video Recorder (NEW Technology – CAT5e, CAT6 Data Cable)

► NVR systems use Power over Ethernet (PoE) to Power the Cameras over the CAT5e/CAT6 Ethernet Cabling.

► NVR systems use IP Cameras (unless you use an adapter to allow use of an older technology Analog Camera)

► NVR systems process the video/data at the camera rather than on the recorder

► NVR recorders receive digital signal from cameras, so video quality is BETTER than a DVR at same resolution

► Ethernet cables (NVR) carry audio, so all cameras with microphones could record audio to the NVR

—————————————————————————————————————

► DVR = Digital Video Recorder (OLD Technology – Coax Cable)

► DVR (OLD Technology – Coax Cabling) (Less Expensive)

► Coaxial cable does not provide power to the camera, there are actually two cables included within one covering, a power and video cable.

► DVR systems transmit analog video signal, which results in a lower quality image compared to NVR systems. (Siamese cable)

DVR systems transmit analog video signal and processes the video/data at the DVR/recorder

————————————————————————————————————-

Make sure that your Cable to Camera Connection is in a Waterproof housing or your cameras will rust/corrode and stop working

Do not slow your home WiFi network down by using a bunch of video cameras on it, or it will slow down your gaming, streaming, and internet usage

Do not use battery powered cameras unless you plan to check, charge, and/or replace the batteries often  (do you want to be up on a ladder in the rain replacing a battery ?)

Do the cameras that you’re looking at require 110/VAC Power ? (regular power outlet) How much is going to cost to get an Electrician to install the 110/VAC Power to your new camera location ?  Can you even find an Electrician who will do that type of work ?  Where is he going to run the power from ?

Floodlight Cameras can only be hardwired (100V-240V). If you do not already have an existing 110/VAC Power junction box, one can be installed, however, you must hire a Licensed Electrician for this.
