HD cameras at affordable prices

The image quality of modern surveillance systems is constantly improving, and the price of HD surveillance is decreasing. In 2015, the most budgetary segment of the surveillance systems market was occupied by cameras of HDCVI, HD-TVI and AHD formats with HD and Full HD resolution at a price of 500 to 1000 grams. At the same time, the resolution of these cameras, which characterizes the ability to transmit a clear picture without interference, exceeds this parameter of old analog cameras by 4-6 times. New surveillance formats use UTP cable or twisted pair cable to transmit the TV signal, which makes it possible to migrate from standard definition analog systems to HD and Full HD systems without costly replacement of communication lines. Despite the variety of formats, it is not difficult to build a surveillance system yourself.

Recorders are used to record information received from surveillance cameras. Modern recorders have the ability to record digital with a resolution of 2 MP (Full HD) in the budget segment and up to 12 MP, overlapping the resolution of 4K surveillance cameras. For small HD surveillance systems, 4-, 8-, and 16-channel recorders are widely used. expensive models work with up to 64 cameras and more. EquIPped with analysis functions, they can hold up to 8 HDDs. All models of multichannel recorders have the ability to work with various cloud services, which simplifies the process of setting up viewing via the Internet.
