There are a wide range of cameras available all offering different technologies and functions.

Our designer will ensure that each camera is specifically suited to your requirements and the environment in which they are installed.

Analogue Cameras

These are the more conventional cameras used in many CCTV installations where each camera is wired directly back to the DVR (Digital Video Recorder) using coaxial video cable.

Analogue cameras are usually cheaper than IP cameras and are widely used in small to medium CCTV installations.

The resolution of analogue cameras defines the quality of the image and is measured in TV Lines (TVL); where a typical medium resolution camera will be 480TVL and a high resolution camera will be >600TVL.

IP Cameras

This type of camera is connected via Cat5 cable to an Ethernet port on the network infrastructure or directly to the Networkable Video Recorder (NVR).

They are rapidly increasing in popularity with the increase of network bandwidth availability They are more commonly used on larger installations or sites with multiple buildings.

A major benefit from using the Ethernet network to carry video signals is the saving on cable and associated cabling costs but beware they may also slow your network down with many IT managers requiring a separate Network for the camera installation.

Bullet Cameras

PTZ Cameras

CCTV Installation Telford PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) cameras have the ability to be controlled remotely via telemetry controllers; either a joystick or through PC software.

When they are not manually being controlled, they can carry out a ‘tour’ following a pre-programmed sequence.

PTZ Cameras can also be integrated into Alarm or Access Control Systems, allowing the camera to focus in on a ‘pre-set’ position, i.e. if a door is opened or a detection device is triggered.

During recent years CCTV camera technology has evolved from black and white (monochrome) and colour cameras to a wider range of varying technologies.

Day/Night Cameras

Day & Night cameras are usually installed in external environments where lighting levels can vary.

Day & Night cameras usually transmit colour images, however, when the light levels drop below a certain lux monochrome is more effective.

Day & Night cameras switch between colour and monochrome depending on the level of light ensuring optimum image quality.

Infrared Cameras

Infrared cameras can operate under zero lux conditions. They usually use day & night technology and have built-in IR lamps. They are particularly useful when no lighting is present within or around a building.

Digital Video Recorders (DVR) and Network Video Recorders (NVR)

DVR’s are used to process analogue cameras whereas NVR’s are used to process IP cameras.

The Recorder is usually the heart of the CCTV system. It is able to process and store images obtained from the cameras which are connected to it.

DVR’s and NVR’s offer continuous recording to their internal hard drive, usually retaining footage for an excess of 30 days. The storage capacity is usually anywhere between 500 GB (Gigabytes) & 12 TB (Terabytes).

DVR’s and NVR’s can usually accommodate between 4 and 16 cameras, however, multiple recorders can be used for larger applications allowing a single CCTV system to accommodate hundreds or even thousands of cameras.

DVRs or NVRs can also use a keyboard allowing easy control of the system.

Working with homes and businesses across the Telford & Shrewsbury area, we have many years of experience of CCTV installation, monitoring and maintenance.
