CCTV (Closed Circuit Television)

A system that has a number of cameras that feed information (video) back to a recording device for storage over a period of time. This stored video can be retrieved at a later date to view. After viewing, if a particular video segment needs to be saved, you can do so for others to see your concerns that were recorded.

Complete Digital High Definition Dome Cameras

The single largest misconception a customer has about CCTV; "I want to see the image on the monitor like I see it in real life."  Well, you have to understand, you get what you pay for and the cameras view in 2-dimensional imagery and you see in 3-Dimensional view.  The cameras used today are much more superior than they were 5-10 years ago and they are constantly improving.

DVR

There are two types of video signals to use for your CCTV system. These are digital and analog signals. Even though you use a DVR (digital video recorder), this is only recording in digital format. It is not using digital video signals between the camera and the recorder and then to your viewing monitor. Digital signals are superior to Analog signals due to the lack of noise and electric interference in the video signal. The signal can also travel much longer distances without distortion of the video image. The DVR stores your saved video for later recall. The higher pixel rating you use, the better recorded images you'll have for identification of the actions and/or perpetrator. High Definition is identified as 720p, 1080p, and 4K (1440p). We only install the 1080p and 4K CCTV systems in full digital. Take a look at the "Camera Shootout" video and see the differences for yourself.
