Video surveillance

Video surveillance systems bring together cameras and recording equipment for monitoring retail areas, entrances, work zones, and other premises. This category includes CVI and IP CCTV cameras along with CVI DVRs and IP video recorders, so a system can be planned around both image capture and footage storage. Camera choices shown here include outdoor and vandal-proof IP models as well as vandal-proof HDCVI cameras. Those distinctions matter when determining where a camera will be installed and which video format the system uses.

Recorders differ by platform and channel count; for example, listed units include a four-channel HDCVI recorder and a 16-channel IP recorder. When selecting equipment, match the camera type to the appropriate recorder technology, determine how many camera connections are required, and consider whether the installation calls for an outdoor or vandal-resistant camera housing. A coordinated setup supports organized observation and recording across the locations that need coverage.
