How to choose a CCTV Camera?

Choosing the correct CCTV Camera for your digital surveillance system is very important. The Digital CCTV Camera, together with a CCTV Lens, uses a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor that captures the image and turns it into a signal that is sent to the monitor or surveillance system.

You will need to decide the following when choosing a CCTV camera & lens for a Digital CCTV system:

  • The Digital Camera Location : Will the camera be situated Indoors / Outdoors
  • The amount or variance of light conditions for the Digital CCTV camera : Will the camera have to record in low-light conditions such as at night?
  • The Field of View required for the camera : How wide or narrow an angle of vision is required
  • The Focal Length - How far away objects you wish to record will be from the camera
  • Your budget
