The last lines express very well where the CCTV has found prominence; Today, no public, private or commercial construction is contemplated without the great contribution that this device makes to safety. A closed circuit television is made up of various components such as cameras, transmission media, monitors and storage systems; However, the first is the most relevant and therefore the most difficult to choose. In order not to make mistakes, we present the information you need to choose the one that best suits your needs; But do not forget that you always have our advice to choose the most suitable camera.

The CCTV security cameras

  • Outside or inside?:

    The first consideration when choosing a camera for a CCTV is where it will go. For an interior location, for a house or small business, the ideal is to opt for a small and discreet model that fulfills basic functions. For outdoor use, a camera that meets an IP66 or IP67 certification is recommended. This quality guarantees its competence to withstand inclement weather and minor acts of vandalism.
  • Ceiling or wall?:

    After circumventing the first condition, you have to determine the type of installation you want. Preferring a ceiling or wall placement is a factor that helps define the model and cost of the camera.
  • Night vision?:

    That a closed circuit television has night vision or is not a look to be analyzed. For 24 hour protection, the only option is to have cameras capable of recording in any light condition. An alternative, however, is to have the entire area to be watched perfectly illuminated, as this way you can opt for cheaper devices.
  • Viewing angle:

    One of the last characteristics that you must define is the viewing angle, that is, the area you want to cover. Current models offer multiple options, from 360 ° recording to a zoom that reaches x20 to have different focal lengths.

    The final demarcation to be performed is the type of power the camera will receive. There is not much to define here, the current technology (POE) supports power supply and data transmission through a single cable. The above is just a mouthful of all the considerations that you must take into account to choose the cameras for your CCTV, for a more personalized accompaniment you should contact a CCTV specialist
