How Important is the Video Quality of Your Surveillance System?

The quality of the video recordings of your Surveillance System is crucial, especially in cases when a person needs to be identified.

• A blurred image with low clarity can be difficult to use and offers less information than one that is clear.
• The power of your security system cameras is measured in megapixels, and on that it depends the clear image quality of the recordings.
• Compared to old analog cameras, the new ones will offer a larger field of vision and an incredibly clear image quality.
• These cameras have other important features, such as video analytics that can trigger automatic recording if there is movement within the camera’s field of vision.
• This is a particular useful feature especially when you are out of town or your business is closed, and your surveillance system is set to send you notifications of any movement within your home or commercial space perimeter.

What to Look for When Choosing a Video Surveillance System?

The three most important things to consider when choosing your video surveillance system are your cameras video recorders and PoE switches.

• When it comes to your cameras, it is important to take into consideration the resolution, frame rate, the camera models, if the cameras are for indoor or outdoor, the lightning and the audio option.
• As previously mentioned, the resolution is one of the most important considerations in selecting a camera. For sharp images with high clarity you will need to choose a high definition one, like an IP camera.
• The frame rate is also important, as the higher the frame rate of your camera is, the smoother the video will be. The frame rate is crucial for the quality of the video, as you want the recording to be done in “real time”.
• When choosing the cameras, their placement is also important, as some cameras are only made to be installed indoors and will not perform outside, especially in Chicago, where water patterns are fluctuating during early spring or late autumn. Some outdoor cameras are minimally resistant to weather while others are completely waterproof, so choosing the right ones is important. That way, you will make the best usage and extend the life-spam of your surveillance system.
• Lightning is also an important aspect that should be considered when choosing your cameras. Choosing “low-light infrared” cameras will enable your surveillance system to record video in darkened areas or at night.
• The audio feature of your cameras is not as important but it can facilitate your communication with someone who is in the camera’s field of vision. If you think you might need this feature, you can let our team know and we will address your needs.

• When choosing a video recorder, there are some aspects that need to be considered, like storage capacity, cloud storage, camera compatibility and the compression.
• The storage capacity of your video recorder depends on some aspects of your surveillance system: how many cameras you have and what is their resolution, how much of the footage you want to archive and for how long you intend to keep that footage.
• If you intend to store footage for longer and avoid the system to overwrite it when it reaches its full capacity, you can choose cloud storage to give your surveillance system some extra space than the one on your video recorder. The cloud is important, as it will give you access to your footage archive even when your equipment is malfunctioning, damaged or stolen.
• When choosing your video recorder you need to take into consideration the compatibility between your cameras and the type of recorder you choose. Usually the cameras come with instructions and guidelines in regards to compatibility, but if you have questions and concerns, our team of experts is here to help you make the best choices for your needs.
• Compression is one aspect that is difficult to master, but it does eliminate non-important footage from your recordings. This aspect is highly discussed and explained by our team, so you should not worry if you do not understand it from the beginning. We are here to explain you everything related to your surveillance system, including compression.

• When buying a PoE switch, the type of it is closely connected to the number of cameras your surveillance system has.
• Our team will guide you and give you the best options of PoE Switches that work perfectly with your security camera systems, so you will not have to dwell on this decision for too long or do extensive research.

*PoE Switch  = Network switch that has Power Over Ethernet built in and had the capability to turn on power automatically to any devices connected
