Surveillance Camera Motion Detection

Surveillance cameras have many uses and are effective for enhancing the security posture of the facilities where they are installed. Surveillance cameras of all kinds have traditionally proven to be terrific deterrents against people intent on committing crime and can provide irrevocable evidence of past events when combined with a high quality digital or network video recorder (DVR or NVR). In addition to the many advantages provided by surveillance cameras, they can function as motion detectors. This is a function of the DVR in analog systems and of the camera in IP systems. Not all DVRs and IP cameras include this capability, but it is part of most high quality systems.

Think ahead when planning new video surveillance infrastructure installations.  Realize the benefits of forward planning in regards to what type of cable will be used. Take advantage of modern advancements in the way video surveillance infrastructure is installed.  Remember maintenance when analyzing video surveillance infrastructure options.  Strive for consistency and simplicity in surveillance system design. Be aware of limiting yourself by installing antiquated type cable that restricts flexibility.
