Security Camera Systems
Camera Systems are a proven deterrent against shoplifting.
A good quality camera and recording system will give results, but a poorly
setup system will be either out of focus or the recording will be of such
bad quality that the subject would be unidentifiable.
There are different ways of recording. The most widely used is the video
recorder While is is fine for a few cameras, it is low in resolution and
lacks a good frame rate. Now, thanks to advances in technology, high quality
computers can be used. These have the advantages of having no tapes to
change, a high frame rate and high resolution.
Most camera installations require more than one camera to be recorded. The computer based system will record all at once expanding from 4 to 16 cameras on one machine as per requirements. There are huge advantages over using video for recording, each camera on the computer will a achieve a maximum of 25 fps as a opposed to about 1 fps with video. This solution also supports PAN/TILT/ZOOM for cameras designed to use it. This saves money as a multiplexed system with PTZ control is very expensive.
