CCTV | Good Features of a Surveillance System

 

Perfect vision in low light. The most important feature of a CCTV camera should have is a high definition and wide-angle video. The main purpose of a CCTV camera is to capture images for future reference. If the video quality is not good, the whole purpose of a CCTV camera would be lost. A high-definition camera would provide high picture quality, and one with a wide-angle lens would enable it to cover a much wider area as well.

Things to consider when choosing a surveillance system:

Resolution
Higher resolution cameras produce clearer images with more detail. 720p is suitable for general monitoring, 1080p is suitable for most applications, and 4K is ideal for critical surveillance. 

Light sensitivity
Some cameras are better in low-light conditions, while others require more light to work well. 

Functionality
Consider whether you need the camera to record footage overnight or in low light. 

Features
Some useful features include:

♦ Two-way audio 

A speaker and microphone allow the person monitoring the video to communicate with people in front of the camera.

♦ Auto iris 

A motorized lens that automatically adjusts the light level in the video image. This is useful in environments with changing light levels, like outdoors.

♦ ANPR/LPR cameras 

These cameras can read and store data on license plates, and can be useful for tolling, hotel management, and car parking.

Other Features:

    ♦ Remote viewing and mobile app access
    ♦ Motion detection and alerts
    ♦ Pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) cameras
    ♦ Audio recording
    ♦ Cloud storage and backup
    ♦ Integration with other security systems

Why do the Philippines have slow internet?

Image
  It isn't that the country's regulatory landscape makes it difficult for internet service providers to put up the necessary infrastructure.  Actually the approval of electronics systems designs and plans in the city and municipal areas isn't difficult, it was most likely because they could not enforce the law. And also corrupt government officials exploit this lack of enforcement to steal money from the telecommunication companies. The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), has released memorandum circulars on RA 9292, Electronics Engineering Law of 2004 regarding its implementation. The Local Government Units should already have a guide in formulating a unified and defined set of procedures in the releasing electronics permit and in the checking and approving of electronics system plans and designs. The country's regulatory landscape NEVER make...

The Distributed Antenna System

A distributed antenna system is most often used to distribute cellular network coverage to heavily populated buildings, such as offices, high-rise apartments, shopping centers or sports stadiums. The Telecommunication facility is one of the major parts of the building utility to provide communications. The building owner shall provide space to house the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system is part of the telecommunication facility of the building. The distributed antenna system, is an in-building solution comprising of a number of pico cells to provide wireless coverage and services using 2G. 3G, 4G, 5G, and even 6G wireless access technology. Definite number of antennas constitutes one single sector; this means that these set of antennas are strategically installed inside a building / compoun...

An electronic engineer in the renewable energy sector

Examples of renewable energy sources include wind power, solar power, bio-energy (organic matter burned as a fuel) and hydroelectric, including tidal energy.  Renewable energy engineers develop and design systems to use energy from renewable resources, such as the sun, wind, and water. Renewable resources are energy sources that are naturally and continually replaced. They are alternatives to nonrenewable resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas that do not replenish themselves, and are environmentally destructive. It's crucial to gain specialized expertise. Focus on understanding the electronic components that are vital for renewable energy systems, such as inverters, which convert direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses. Familiarize yourself with energy storage systems, ...
