By July 12, 2022No Comments

The most effective tools used as a basic solution to today's security problems are security cameras. Security cameras provide a simple, cheap and reliable way to secure your home or workplace. However, security camera technologies, which we call IP cameras, have been changing for many years.

With the new generation of products, IP camera technology is becoming increasingly complex. If you want to refresh your camera system or use a camera system for the first time, do not be confused by this complex structure of the new generation products. In this article, we'll list the basic options you need to make when choosing the best security camera system. In the article, rather than recommending which camera system to buy, we will help you determine your needs correctly and how to get the right IP camera system for your needs.

What is IP Camera?

An IP camera is a digital camera that operates according to the principles of Internet Protocol (IP) networks instead of analog electrical signals. The Internet is an example of an IP network and uses the IPv4 protocol. That's why IP cameras are also called network cameras. Security cameras, which are a networked digital video camera that transmits data over a fast ethernet connection, are usually the digitized version of closed-circuit television (CCTV) and provide surveillance to the user in a networked manner. The main advantages of IP cameras over analog technology are that they provide remote management from any place, the ability to easily send images and videos to anywhere with an internet connection, to obtain better quality images from the video especially for moving targets with the progressive scanning method, adjustable resolution for special needs, suspicious detection and warning sending feature, low cabling requirement, intelligent video support, Many features, such as two-way communication, can be listed.

When Choosing an IP Camera…

So how do I choose an IP camera? As we emphasized at the beginning of the article, it is very important to determine the need and choose the most appropriate IP camera for the need. First, plan where you'll install the cameras. Planning where you will install your cameras will be one of the main factors determining the type of camera you will use. They are two different types that make up the main differences between outdoor and indoor IP cameras.

Bullet security cameras, one of the cameras to be used for outdoor use, are very good in terms of their flexibility in case they are constantly re-adjusted. Although the presence of these cameras in the eye increases the deterrence, sometimes a hidden placement under the eaves can be requested by the user.

Dome security cameras, on the other hand, will not be a good option for such hidden uses. If you want the cameras to be installed in a place where they are not visible, you should not choose a dome camera. However, dome-style cameras can be more tedious to set up and even more difficult to set up once installed. In addition, any outdoor camera can also be easily used indoors. The interior can also provide better facilities for hidden cameras.

Another situation that you should pay attention to when choosing an IP Camera system is related to the features of the cameras. First, make sure the cameras support IP protocols. This is important in terms of integrating the cameras you choose with future technologies. Ethernet network power is also another issue you need to consider.

This image is special in terms of accessing you more comfortably. For extra protection, insulating agents can also affect their durability and good operation. The high resolution of IP cameras and infrared (IR) lighting are other features that you should pay attention to when choosing an IP Camera. Thanks to the SD card slots in the IP cameras, it is possible to store up to 128 GB capacity. The amount of storage is also one of the other issues to be considered.

When choosing an IP Camera, the quality of the product as well as the after-sales technical support is one of the vital features you need to consider.
