Today CCTV is need of merely every place because world is not secure and trustworthy as it used to be.

What is CCD Camera and how they are better than CMOS chinese camera?

Ans: CCD stands for "Charged Coupled Device". CCD is latest technology in CCTV Analogue display and provides clear and crystal images. CCD camera also give picture under low light. CMOS is very old technology it has remained to market only because of it's cheap price. below is the example of picture taken by CMOS and CCD camera.

CMOS vs. CCD - Most cheap cameras sold are using CMOS sensors, unless specified as CCD. CCD technology is better and produces sharper resolution color reproductions. E.g. lower cost mobile phones are using CMOS sensors, while an expensive digital camera uses CCD sensors.

This is not typical CMOS CHINESE camera which is sold by some vendors. This is CCD (Charged Coupled Device) Color Camera.

The Core component of camera is it's CCD (Image Processor)

It's like your computer where you identify the computer performace by Celeron, Pentium 4 etc.

The CCD is the image sensor of camera where image is captured and processed, therefore the clarity and resolution of captured images entirely depend on that.

The Image quality of  this CCD camera is thousand time better than CMOS chinese cameras.

What are the types of CCTV CCD Camera and where they are used?

420 TVLines >> Normal Resolution

470-550 TVLines >> High Resolution

What are NightVision Camera?

 

Where to use InfraRed Dome and Where to use InfraRed Box Camera?

Ans: Dome InfraRed are used in Office, Garage or Indoor locations. The BOX InfraRed camera are used in warehouse, outdoor. The simple understanding is Dome if for Ceiling Mount and Box Camera are for wall mount.

What does the no. of LEDs represent in InfraRed Nightvision camera?

Ans: The number of LEDs represent the distance covered. More the number of LEDs wider and deeper the coverage.

Dome Camera V/S C-Mount Camera

Ans: There is no basic difference unless TVLines mentioned. As specified earlier the Camera clarity depends on TVLines. C-Mount camera are used if you want to attach enhanced lens like Varifocal, AutiIris, Zoom etc.

Do I need to use C-Mount camera for wall mounting purpose only?

Ans: For the purpose of wall-mounting, you can use Mini Metal cabinet in lieu of Dome and use the Board CCD camera which are used in Dome camera. i.e. replace dome body with wall-mountable metal body housing.

Where & Why to use C-Mount of Box Camera?

15 mm Lens with 1/3 Camera Area: 12' Width X 9' Height	55 mm Lens with 1/3 Camera Area: 3.25' Width X 2.50' Height
Different Lens at different Distance

What is the purpose of AutoIris lens and Varifocal lens?

Ans: AutoIris lens give clear and uniform images in every lighting conditions. It is used where lighting conditions varies time to time. If Clear and crystal images are essential in that particular area then one can go for AutoIris Lens. Varifocal lens are used where a area coverage needs to be changed frequently. for e.g. on one occasion you require to cover entire gate and on other you need to only cover entry of vehicles with their number plate. So with Varifocal lens you can adjust the focal point and concentrate particular area.

What are IP Camera & how they are different from CCD camera?

Ans: IP camera are the latest innovation in CCTV Industry and has changed the way Surveillance systems are handled. All over the world major new Turn Key projects are installed using IP cameras only due to their flexibility, easy operations & Central Monitoring adaptability without any additional hardware. As they are in entry level yet the  costing is higher compare to typical analog camera, thus it's penetration in the small to medium sized enterprises and home security is very minimal. IP Camera produces digital images, which are easy to store/manage/manipulate.

What are the different features in dvrs to look for?

Why one should go for Pipeline or Surveillance specific harddisk instead of normal PC harddisk? 

Ans: We strongly recommend using Pipeline or SV series harddisk for DVRs. Because DVR works 24X7 and does not require higher RPM for functioning. Pipeline or SV series harddisks are specifically designing for DVRs. They work at lower RPM results in low power consumption and does not get heat easily. This harddisk costs around 20-25% more than the normal PC harddisk, but definitely worth it.
