Everyone loves a good bargain. The cheaper it is, the
happier it makes you. But when it comes to CCTV, does cheap really make you
cheerful?
To answer this question, we first have to look at a couple
of options available on the market. One being “cheap and cheerful” and the
other a higher ticket item.
Standard Analogue
CCTV
Analogue CCTV Systems have become very cheap to buy as there
are a lot of providers on the market, but, their picture quality is outdated.
Now analogue CCTV can come with several useful features, including:
Night vision - You
can see the burglary happen even on the darkest nights.
Weatherproof cameras - You can catch burglars in the act,
even in the unpredictable British weather.
Analogue CCTV can be a good option for small buildings such
as houses where the small distances involved can still enable a reasonable and
useable video to be recorded. However, Analogue CCTV systems do not offer
enough to businesses. When you have to record footage of a larger area, the
picture starts to become blurry and grainy. The faces of the burglar cannot be clearly
identified and you cannot make out the number plate of the getaway vehicle.
This can be vital in catching the burglar.
HD CCTV
HD systems are more costly compared to the Analogue System,
but offer a better picture quality and more features due to the high picture
quality. Some of the additional features of HD CCTV include:
Number Plate
Recognition - Some CCTV systems are able to read number plates and then
check a database of number plates. If the number plate is on the database, the
system can open an automated gate to allow access to the vehicle and deny
access to those that are not in the database. This prevents unwanted visitors
in and out of working hours.
Item Recognition
- The system can monitor a room and if something is removed from the room the
system will note the change and send an alert to security or the owner or
person responsible for security.
Smart Tracking -
HD CCTV is able to pick up on movement and then track it. If a burglary takes
place, the camera will track them so you do not miss a moment, preventing the
burglar from being able to hide in blind spots. If they drive up in a car and
then get out of the car, the system will continue to track the movement and
hence still follows them.
Forensic Detail -
HD systems offer a high enough resolution to be able to pick up on facial
features and to read car number plates. This is ideal for evidence against the
criminal. Quality systems enable you to zoom in and sustain a high image
quality.
Easy to upgrade -
Some HD systems use the same cables as analogue systems. This means that new
wiring would not have to be installed.
Cheaper pixels - Overall
HD CCTV Systems offer more features for your money and are also cheaper per
pixel (how the picture quality is measured) than analogue systems.
The question we
started with:
Now let’s revisit the question that we asked at the beginning,
does cheap really make you cheerful?
The cheaper Standard analogue CCTV has some excellent
features, but for a business, the picture quality just doesn’t meet the
requirements needed to really protect your business. HD CCTV has a bigger price
tag on paper, but compared to analogue, it is far superior with many more
features and much higher quality. It is an invaluable tool for securing your
business. You cannot put a price tag on the safety and the security of your
workforce and contents of your business.
