Modern video surveillance - what is it?

We often see in the news how a particular criminal was detained thanks to video cameras, but do we think about the real benefits of such systems?!

Yes, now few people will be surprised by video surveillance. Kindergartens, schools, shops and even the streets of many cities are equipped with surveillance cameras.

Let's look at all aspects of video monitoring systems and together evaluate all the possibilities offered today.

What is a video surveillance system and what components does it consist of?

In this sense, in most cases, nothing changes. 2-3 video cameras + recorder + power supply. And depending on the task, the system is equipped with various additional devices, ranging from barriers and turnstiles, ending with the entire complex of access control systems with analytics: recognition of numbers, faces and direction of movement.

What is the difference between this or that system and which one to choose?

Today we know two types of video surveillance systems: digital and analog. The most advanced and flexible, in terms of extensions, of course, are digital. But it has long been known that analog now boasts great achievements in terms of resolution and can compete with ip, since the price, reliability and simplicity of the system remains virtually unchanged from year to year.

What can surprise the market of video surveillance systems now?

Today, they have entered our lives so tightly that it is quite difficult to be surprised at something. It should be noted that manufacturers and developers are improving existing systems, for example, the quality of video surveillance analytics: recognition of faces, zones, license plates, etc. For example, there is a solution when only one camera in the parking lot keeps a record of all entering cars not only by numbers, but also by brand, and also gives a signal for the barrier if the license plate is on a special list.

What can be recommended for ordinary users to install video surveillance at home today?

It should be noted that the more this direction develops, the cheaper the equipment every year for ordinary users. A striking example of this is modern analog systems that have risen to the same level as ip in terms of image resolution quality. It has long been no secret that it is better to entrust such work to professionals, but now everything depends on the tasks, as there are ready-made kits where assistance can be provided remotely, which will save both time and budget.

Lamp with built-in CCTV camera!

Its installation will not take you much time, as it is done simply, you screw it into any cartridge, download the LightCam application to any device connected to the Internet and connect it via Wi-Fi, without unnecessary wires and additional devices. With it, you not only observe what is happening at home, but you can also control the light. It can also be used both indoors and outdoors.

The camera shoots in high definition HD (1080p) and has built-in IR illumination up to 10m. Also, it is equipped with a built-in microphone and speaker, you can not only listen to what they are talking about, but also join the conversation. Writes on the move, built-in memory is enough for about 7 days, then the very first entry is deleted and a new one is recorded.

The most difficult thing that we managed to overcome during its development was flare. Therefore, a telescopic lens was developed to protect the camera in any lighting conditions.

WD Purple Hard Drive for Video Surveillance

RVi Group entered into cooperation with Western Digital. Corporations have set themselves a serious goal: the creation of a DVR with support for disks with a memory capacity of 10TB. Technical tests have been successful, and now on the market you can find equipment with hitherto unseen characteristics.

During testing, WD storage drive recorders have been tested in a variety of situations, including video recording and playback. Speaking briefly about the technical characteristics of the equipment, it should be noted that the DVRs belong to the latest generation of recording technology, and the hard drive, in turn, is designed to work non-stop in adverse conditions.

In the course of the research, it was found that RVi recorders (all lines, including HD) are perfectly synchronized with Western Digital hard drives. However, no deviations were found in the work.
