Which SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM is best For Your BUSINESS and How to Choose the Right One?

With the increase in physical assets of any company, comes the responsibility of its surveillance. Surveillance is not only important for company having enormous physical assets but, even for small business and service industry. For them, surveillance is most important because of their low adaptability to after events or consequences which arise due to poor surveillance. Thus, Security whether at outdoor site or be at indoor office space has become one of the utmost priority for businesses and industries. To add, in past century Security System or Surveillance System for business sites or office spaces were having less than a fewer options. But, with the advancement in technology there are products serving for 24*7 security systems with the marginal attention of humans required- for businesses as well as home. These systems makes very tough for any kind of infiltration.IP Camera is such one of them. For surveillance to be effective you need to devote your concern to the below important considerations- while choosing the most right IP Camera for your business or home. But, first we will quickly explore through the types of security cameras and then proceed to considerations/factors.

CCTV Camera CCTV camera was the very first technology that enabled video surveillance leveraging concept of closed circuit television.  Closed circuit television technique has analog video cameras for capturing areas, coaxial cable for video data transmission, and video tape recorders.Although with CCTV camera one was able to record what is happening or happened  but, was not getting alerts or notifications of an undesired events. It is, because CCTV system can transmit a signal to limited number of monitors and is basedon fixed communications vis wires, and cables.  Also, CCTV is very similar to VCR- change cassettes; average image quality is average, less durability of storage tapes and memory storage hungry. Web Camera Web camera is somewhat higher version of CCTV but only limited to PC and laptops. So, with this type of cameras you can monitor and record only small places like retail shop, commercial office room, home etc. It can be connected in both ways: USB port or wireless. Basic difference in both ways is the latter’s ability to receive-transmit images over the Internet. As per your need (continuously or regular intervals), you can upload web camera images to a web server. But, because of below factors, web camera lost its popularity for its use as security system:

1.  It works only with connection to PC. 

2. For monitoring the area which is far away from PC or laptop, a long cable is needed. Without it, we can’t monitor far away areas.

3. Hosting issue- direct reading and controlling of a web camera is limited to just one host computer. Moreover, such is not shareable across a business or home’s internal network.

HD IP Camera                                       

The IP camera is the most advanced security-based video camera for effective surveillance. Surveillance can be viewed over a network. HD IP camera is basically a stand-alone device. It functions by a connection with your Ethernet. And, also with wireless network.Unlike in CCTV and web camera, HD IP Camera enables monitoring of various locations right from your PC. It is possible because HD IP Camera utilizes local internet network.   Advantages of HD IP Camera

1.  Monitoring

With HD IP Camera, you can do live monitoring of remote multiple locations. Here, it is not required to have connection with a PC.  Only an internet connection is required to view and record live activities of areas covered by HD IP Camera.

2. Instant Notifications or Alarms:

HD IP camera leverages the technology of motion detection. Thus, it sends notifications or alarms to you- when undesired or non-usualactivity or event is detected. Moreover, many concerned people can receive notifications or alarms at an instant ( as set by you).

3. PTZ feature:

There are many HD IP cameras for having Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) view.  By adjusting the focus, angle, and field of view one can remotely control view from HD IP Camera and that too from location far away. PTZ IP Camera lets businesses for higher detailing to figure out the undesired or non-usual activity like revelation of the exact person, place or thing.

Security has evolved from manual guarding to HD IP camera or advanced video surveillance system. It obviously costs more to businesses but, factorizing the consequences of events which arise due to poor surveillance, cost of IP camera becomes marginal.  As old technology like web camera, CCTV Camera are becoming obsolete, HD IP Camera is a torch-bearer in this respect.

Now, as we had established that HD IP Camera is the only option for flexible, superior quality video surveillance system, let us explore the important considerations for choosing the most right HD IP Cameras for your business or at home.

·  What space or environment do you want monitor- outdoor or indoor?

·  What are the light conditions of the space or environment here you want to install IP Cameras?

·  What is the level of detailing you want to capture through surveillance system?

· What form factor of IP Camera you think is most suitable for your requirement?

· While choosing the most right IP camera, don’t forget to consider about its compatibility with other IP devices?

·  How many cameras you will need?

·  Has the available network/internet connection at your business site, office or home or institutions enough bandwidth to support the IP Camera- which you think is best for your case?

Now, when you have intuitively decided upon the above consideration, next step is to get into detail of technical aspects associated with above respective considerations.

Kind of space or environment to monitor

As referenced earlier, basically there are two kinds of location of space that you will monitor.While going for outdoor IP Camera, just check that whether the chosen IP Camera is durable w.r.t to weather conditions at your place. And, vandalism-proof network camera becomes the most important specification of IP Camera when there is high rate crime at your place and nearby locations. So, kindly go for the relevant specifications as per local weather conditions and crime scenarios.

Level of Detailing

Level of detailing can simply be referred to the resolution. So, when you want to capture number plate of vehicles then a high level of detailing will be needed. And, if you just want to capture wide area to quantize something then low level of detailing can serve your purpose. Level of detailing need can be decided upon through lens specification and video resolution along with area coverage.

Size of an area to be covered

This consideration while choosing best fit IP Camera for surveillance lets you to decide upon the camera specifications and the network bandwidth needed. This, have a numerical value of area in mind.

For larger areas, PTZ cameras are perfect fit because of broad view and zooming capability. Fact to remember is that image or video quality is not degraded even at widest viewing angle possible I.e. 112 degrees.

For smaller areas, your requirement is fulfilled by static cameras. Here also, as per camera specifications you need to consider network bandwidth available.

In addition, you will always require a LAN and only in some cases WAN network- when location of monitoring and controlling are entirely at different places.

Audio Quality

Although it is not used widely but when an event can only be detected by sounds crossing threshold limit, it is must. Like blasts or a noisy factory. Also, with audio concerned personnel can converse with possible perpetrators. HD IP Camera gets easily integrated on VMS (video management systems).

Scalability

In this global age where businesses are rapidly growing and if your business is witnessing such then without any doubt “SCALABILITY” is the most important consideration. With more physicality or hardware in a system, there is less scope of scalability. That’s why CCTV got phased out from use as hard-wired system is difficult to scale and add costs.

This, HD IP camera that works through wireless is best for growing businesses as well as service industries. Scalability of surveillance with HD IP Camera is as simple as traditional phone system added to a VoIP network- no wiring needed. 

Compatibility

Don’t ever forget to consider IP camera’s compatibility with other IP-based security products or devices like network video recorder.
