Various types of security cameras are an important part of modern security technology, which are essential for asset protection. In this article, we'll cover the most important concepts you'll encounter when planning to purchase or use security camera systems.
CCTV (Closed Circuit Television)
A CCTV systems are closed circuit television systems that are generally used to monitor companies, institutions and public areas. These systems exclude external access, so only authorized persons can access the recordings.
IP Camera
Az IP cameras network devices that have their own network port. These cameras can also work independently and their images can be accessed remotely. High-resolution images (up to 29 megapixels) enable the observation of large areas and detailed subsequent analysis.
Analog Camera
Az analog cameras older types of devices that transmit the signal through coax cables. They generally have a lower resolution than IP cameras, but are still popular in some applications due to their simplicity and low price.
Dome Camera
A dome cameras they got their name from their characteristic hemispherical cover, and they are most often installed on the ceiling. They have a really solid design and are available in different resolutions. Its special type is the PTZ camera, which can be rotated and tilted, as well as having an optical zoom function.
Tube camera
A tube cameras cylindrical cameras, which are mostly used outdoors, as they are resistant to weather conditions. Due to their compact design and vandal-proof design, they are also popular among family houses and shops.
IR (Infrared) Camera
Az IR cameras are capable of night vision, as they use infrared illumination. With the help of the built-in infrared LEDs, they can cover distances of up to 20-30 meters, which ensures effective monitoring even at night.
FPS (Frames per Second)
FPS refers to the number of frames displayed per second. The higher FPS value provides smoother and more continuous video playback, which is especially important when the goal is to record fast movements, such as traffic monitoring.
This glossary helps you understand the basics of security camera systems and helps you navigate the different types of cameras and technologies.
