Top 4 Items to Consider for Your Remote DVR System

Top 4 Items to Consider for Your Remote DVR System

When you set up your remote DVR system, there are several important things to consider that will ensure you get the most optimal benefits from your system.

These include:

• A static IP address -- Utilizing a remote DVR device and corresponding web server will require you to have a static IP address assigned to the device.

• Carefully consider compression rate and transmission format -- The compression rate and transmission format of the captured video data will have a big impact on the quality of the image displayed. In general, the better the image quality, the more disk space required to store the image, and the longer it takes to transmit it remotely. Compression rates and image resolutions do vary by camera, but you can configure file transfer settings from your DVR device as well.

4 Ways To Improve Security Camera Lenses

Security And Surveillance Camera Lenses

As with regular surveillance camera, the lens on a surveillance camera determines how wide an image is created and how much light is let in. The lenses you purchase should match the format of your surveillance camera:

1/4" lenses work best with 1/4" cameras. It is possible to use a larger format lens than the surveillance security camera calls for, but it is not recommended.

Also, fixed focal length lenses offer only one set field of view and are the least costly. To change the resulting image, you need to switch lenses. Variable focal length camera lenses and zoom lenses offer greater flexibility, allowing you to adjust your image's field of view. Motorized zoom lenses, the most costly type available, give you the ability to control your cameras remotely.

If you want to zoom out for general surveillance and in for detail when you spot suspicious activity, motorized camera focus is preferable.If you will be using the surveillance camera outdoors, look for a lens with an automated iris. As in the human eye, the iris of a lens is what controls the amount of light coming in to the surveillance camera.

Automated irises can significantly improve performance for outdoor cameras, where light levels vary considerably. However, you can save money and use a manual iris lens when the scene illumination never changes, for example in an illuminated store or office. But we do not recommend it.
