Choose the right CCTV camera depending on your purpose
CCTV cameras are a very necessary thing for home security. But in our country it is not very common for universal use. It is not very readily available and not like a smartphone. So many people get in trouble when buying. We often make mistakes because we don’t know which one to buy. We are here to dispel your doubts. Here are some things to keep in mind when buying a CCTV camera:
1. Where to place the CCTV camera
First think about what you want, whether you want to monitor outside the house or inside the house. As you can see, the lighting inside the house will always be good, so it will not be difficult to make video for the camera, but for night surveillance outside the house, the camera must have the quality of night vision. Also, for the camera outside the house, you have to keep in mind that the camera has to withstand all the sun, raining, and monsoon so you have to keep in mind the waterproof feature of the camera.
2. Warranty
This should be taken into consideration while buying. Because in the Indian market you will find CCTV cameras of many new inexperienced companies at a low price with only six months warranty but even if they can get damaged after those 6 months there is nothing to do. But if you spend a little extra money, you will get a camera from a well-known company with a 3-year warranty. I hope you understand how to choose.
3. Setup and installation process
The matter of setup is very important. You can read the setup guide of many cameras and get set up, but there are some cameras that you need a skilled mechanic to set up. If you live in a village, you may have difficulty getting such a mechanic. So don’t forget to know the setup before buying.
4. The specialty of the camera
Here are some important features to keep in mind when choosing the right camera for your home. Such as lens size, camera range, picture quality, storage and angle.For example, with a 60 ° angle camera and a 4 mm lens, the CCTV camera can easily detect a person at a distance of 4 meters but cannot detect anything further than that.
Similarly, if you need to zoom in on the video or identify any number or thing from the video, you must buy a camera with more megapixels and digital zoom.
You must also pay attention to the storage. The CCTV camera comes with 64GB storage while the CCTV camera comes with 1TB storage. Since there is so much diversity so you must judge well over your priority.
5. How to use
If you want full surveillance of small room of home or office then you need to buy dome CCTV camera. Pick up a bulletproof CCTV camera for surveillance outside the home or far away.
If you want to video chat with the camera, choose the camera by looking at the quality of two way audio. To avoid the fear of theft, choose a camera that has the benefit of email push notifications or alarms.
6. Wireless or Wired
Usually CCTV cameras that can be connected through wire are cheaper so they are in high demand. If it is convenient for the office. But we like to be tidy at home, so choose wireless or Wi-Fi CCTV camera for home.
7. Infrared LED bulb
The night vision of your external surveillance camera needs to be very good to capture video in the dark. So see if there are infrared bulbs on all four sides of the camera lens. Night vision is very good for the presence of these LED bulbs.
8. Customer service
Most of the CCTV camera companies in India are new. So don’t expect it to be very good service across the country. For now, the thing is we are not in a luxury way. However, you must test how the customer service, warranty service. Also find out if there is a pick up and service system.
Also when ordering on Amazon or Flipkart you should look the user’s rating. Then you must keep an eye on the customer review of the camera of your choice.
