Yes, you need to buy the length of cable you need. We offer the CA-25, CA-50, CA-100 and CA-150.

It is a camera with an RCA Video plug and a power plug for easy connection to DVR or TV. Connect the RCA (Aux) line into the VIDEO IN of the DVR or TV.

There are two basic approaches to connecting security cameras and digital video recorders (DVRs). You can use Plug and Play cable or you can use RG59 Siamese cable. Both cable types have video and power cables wrapped in one package. Plug and Play cable is very easy to use. The connectors for power, video and audio are all pre-attached. All you have to decide is what length you need (we offer 25, ...

The amount of time a DVR will record is based on the size of the DVRs hard drive, the number of cameras recording and the frames per second. Our stand alone DVRs use 3.4 GB per camera per day. A 4 camera stand alone DVR with a 250 GB hard drive will record for 18 days. An 8 camera stand alone DVR with a 250 GB hard drive will record for 9 days. A 16 camera stand alone DVR with a 500 GB hard drive ...

All DVRs are definitely not made equal! There are several factors that are critical to consider when purchasing a DVR, especially when comparing prices. The most important features to look at are the number of cameras supported, frames per second (fps), compression technology, hard drive space, network connection / remote viewing capability, motion detection, scheduling, and ability to save video ...

No you cannot. According to United States federal laws, audio should not be used in a surreptitious manner. One example of surreptitious interception is audio in a hidden camera. This includes pinhole board cameras and all covert or hidden cameras. Audio in a hidden camera or board camera is only available to law enforcement agencies, with the exception of body worn cameras. Title 18, Section 2512...

IP cameras should be considered for large installation sites that already have a high bandwidth network installed - especially if the cameras will be spread out over a wide area. For example; Hospitals, Schools, etc.

Wired cameras have a video cable that runs from the camera to your recording or viewing device such as a DVR or computer monitor or TV.

Standard wireless hidden cameras can transmit up to 1000 feet and high-powered wireless hidden cameras can transmit up to 2500 feet -- assuming clear line of sight areas.

Cordless phones that operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency will cause interference with 2.4 GHz cameras. Interference should be minimal and usually occurs if the phone is between the camera and receiver. Wireless Internet, networks and Wi-Fi can cause interference too.

You can have up to four wireless cameras in one location. You can view all cameras at once using four receivers or you can use one receiver and switch to each camera. You will only be able to view one camera at a time if you only use one receiver.

Yes, as long as there is not too much metal in the wall.

Security cameras require two wires: one for power, and one to transmit the captured video to a display or recording device (TV, DVR). Wireless cameras only require one wire - for power. The video is transmitted wirelessly via transmitter and receiver devices. A wireless camera is a combination of the camera plus a built-in wireless transmitter to send the video. A wireless receiver will receive th...

A fixed focal length lens will not zoom. The focus is fixed. A fixed focal length lens usually allows more light to pass through the lens at a given focal length than a varifocal. This can be important in low light situations.

A varifocal lens is one where the focal length of the lens can be varied, namely, you have a zoom capability. Most varifocal lenses have an auto iris feature. Also referred to as "wide angle lens".

Security cameras come in many different styles including dome, bullet, infrared, IP, and hidden. The security camera that will work best for your application will depend on several factors such as whether you will use the security cameras inside or outdoors, during the day, nighttime, or both. Security cameras come in black and white or color and come with all of the required mounting hardware. Th...

1. Cameras - wireless, wired, varifocal, fixed lens, etc. Cameras need a power source to operate; it could be either a regular power line connection or a battery pack -- depending on the camera's design. 2. DVR - Digital Video Recorder - standalone or built in. The "brain" of the surveillance system. Receives recordings from the cameras and allows managing these according to its features (continu...

There is really only one way to do this. It is different depending on the type of CCTV dvr you have. If you have a standalone security dvr, there should be a green "RS485" connector on the back of the machine, that input has the inputs for your twisted pair. You simply just screw down the wire in the correct socket. If your standalone dvr does not have that, then you can buy a PTZ controller and i...

The iris controls how much light is let into the camera lens. In the old days, cameras came with no iris control. If you needed to control the light levels you would have to purchase a special lens. Nowadays, most cameras come with automatic shutters which perform the same function as the iris - controlling how much light is let into the camera. Unless you have an application with extreme light le...

A Pan Tilt Zoom camera (PTZ) allows you to pan (back and forth), tilt (up and down), and zoom (focus in and out) your camera remotely. The PTZ is controlled using a remote PTZ controller or you can control it through most DVRs (look for PTZ support). The disadvantages of a PTZ camera is that they are very expensive (usually around $1000 without the controller). And all the moving parts make it sus...

Instead of going with a fixed focus lens you can go with a varifocal lens. With a simple adjustment you can manually zoom in or zoom out and focus the camera to the exact distance needed to get a clear picture. Varifocal lenses come in all different sizes: (3.5-8mm; 9-22mm; and 5-50mm) just to name a few. This is the best option for large commercial applications because you can adjust the focal di...

There are four types of lenses for CCTV use: Fixed Aperture, Manual Iris, Auto Iris, and Zoom. If the area you wish to observe experiences infrequent changes in light, use a manual iris lens, which can be adjusted for light only by hand. If the area the Security Camera will be observing experiences frequent changes in light, use an auto-iris lens. These lenses adjust to light changes automatically...

CCTV or Closed Circuit Television refers to a visible or covert video system intended for only a limited number of viewers. In Closed Circuit TV (CCTV), the picture is viewed or recorded, but not broadcast. It was initially developed as a means of security for banks and casinos; however, today it has been developed to the point where it is simple and inexpensive enough to be used with Home Securit...

Installers and end users are often disappointed by the life they get from Halogen bulbs. Manufactures quote life expectancy figures as 'Mean Time'. They are not a guarantee of the bulb life. This simply means that on average after a number of hours quoted by the manufacturer HALF OF THE BULBS WILL HAVE FAILED. If the 'Mean Time' of 4,000 hours is quoted, half the bulbs will fail within that 4,0...

Camera housings come in various shapes and sizes. With regard to the correct IP rating protection, this will range from dust and water ingress. This system is governed by a number of European and British standards. IP55 Protected against dust - limited ingress. Protection against low pressure jets of water from all directions – limited ingress permitted. IP65 Protection against dust - n...

The answer to this is the same as that for questions relating to Back Focusing on Page 31 and 34, with the addition of the following: When setting the back focus of a Colour camera for low light conditions you should place an ND1 (Neutral Density) filter in front of the lens. When setting the back focus of a Mono camera for low light conditions you should place an ND3 (Neutral Density) filter i...

This in general is a comparatively difficult decision. Many aspects of the installation must be taken into consideration in order to obtain the correct performance that meets your requirements. A high resolution camera should be considered where greater detail of scene is required. E.g. Colour 460 TVL, Monochrome 570 TVL. Choosing a more sensitive camera will improve reproduction in poorly lit ...
