The different types of CCTV Cameras 

Some thoughts from a consumer who has been using CCTV cameras for years for home surveillance. When choosing a camera, focus on night vision first and foremost. Good night vision is key, as night time is when all the crime happens (I've provided footage to police on multiple occasions, and it's always night time recordings). There are a few cameras that now offer pretty good color night vision, but find reviews, as some are great, and some others that advertise color night vision are still pretty crappy. If using IR with B/W night vision and if you don't have fancy human/vehicle recognition, it helps to mount a separate IR illuminator and turn the cameras built-in IR off. This reduces fogginess in the picture and, more importantly, greatly reduces false positives from bugs flying around the IR light (as now your IR light is not in the same place as the camera). If you want to capture license plates...well...it's hard to do; you need specialized cameras (in particular you need control over shutter speed so you can set a high enough shutter speed at night to eliminate blur); you may also need additional IR illumination to get good captures, and it's really hard to find IR spot lights (I had to get some from a company that sells them for mounting on trucks for night hunting and them adapt them to use wall power); and you ideally want 2 cameras for each street/road you want to monitor, one facing each way, as often a vehicle only has a plate on one side.

I can simply say, this is the best video I have ever seen, as far as CCTV awareness is concerned. For all 12 years I have been working in Security systems industry. To the extend I find myself can't wait to subscribe the channel. Thank you so much sir.

Excellant..why dont you have a book. Super training vids.

Thanks for the training. Looking forward for installation and configuration training too

I love your concise explanation and the use of visual aids. More!

Very long video but very justified! Thorough yet comprehensible. 👍

Thanks for the information I will go over it again also the clear voice

Thank you for a very informative video. 5 Stars.

Best explanation so far! Many Thanks 😊

Great info Thanks. Maybe a set up guide all good being UK based.

Thank you Sir, Good video & Good Explanation on cctv cameras, thank you.

Great vid!

in regards to the vandal dome cameras, i think, a concern here is the distance where the camera will be placed. people for the most part are not out there to break your camera, but if the bad guys are planning to robbed a place with these types of cameras at low point position, they might just spray paint or put tape over the camera instead of breaking it.

this has made me learn more on cctv cameras

Wonderful explained. Thanks

Great info 👌🏽

Very nice keep updating us.thank.

Thank you very much for this great and comprehensive teaching. I haven't mounted any camera before but, I have strong passion and burning desire to be an installer. Please I want to ask, is it advisable to use an iron box (knockout box) and PVC pipe at the position of the camera and run the pipe inside a wall straight to where NVR and router would be located? What are the advantages and disadvantages ? Thank you!

I liked this video, I learnt a lot from me. Thanks for sharing this video.

can i use a different brand of hd cam on a dvr? for example im using hikvision turbo HD cam and my dvr is dahua?

Thank you

Well explained. Thank you. I wish you created the videos more often. 👏👏

Very well explained, it really helped. Thanks bro.

You to use Vandal camera at low height but in the example show of a bungalow, which is also my situation, you had a turret camera under the soffit. Can you explain your thinking or it just that residential isn't high risk?

Very informative

this guy is amazing

Thx for very informative video👍

Thanks... I'm an installer....and we use the bullet camera outside more because it has better water proof over the dome CCTV camera

God dam I 💕 cctv

great!

HI. Can i use one fiber cable in a scenario where Point A has 8 ip camera ( connected with 8port Poe switch) and Point B has the NVR?

nice

Wonderful information. Could you explain also on the differences in clarity of the cameras, for example difference between 720p and 1080p , colored.......

can the dome cameras be mounted to a vertical wall? or only to a ceiling?

Please, does increase in IP rating (e.g IP68) determine the protective nature of the camera from water? Thank you sir

We just got the starlight camera, is it classed as a bullet?

I'm looking for a wireless that doesn't need Wi-Fi or network and records on local storage solar powered is this impossible to find?

I have a turet dome system but two of the careras are full of water and no longer work, do they come appart or do I buy new

I remember the analog bullet cameras were shaped that way was to fit a CRT inside, before digital lenses were invented.

Hi Out of all 3 cameras which is the best one to catch a criminal vandalizing my car each night. I have tried so many including all the dual dash cams trail cams house cameras but to no avail. Now i want to try the Dome ....is it good for this situation? Can i also use a power bank all night long to video .. Which of these 3 will do the work? Thanks

I’m still confused I am looking for a security camera that only uses WiFi, no nvr or dvr . Onboard micro sd. What is the specific name these are called ?

How do u Atch the camera to the Internet

Thanks for information. It’s better to watch on x1.75 speed

i like bullet and turret

2 Timothy 2:24-25... HALLELUJAH ✨ These cameras are very helpful when it comes to violent crimes or trying to find out what happened to a missing person..AMEN But some people that are able to get access to these type of camera use them to watch and harass people in the worst ways possible so what can you do about that..First of all if you're not doing anything wrong continue to do the right thing and be smart but don't worry yourself over it but if you can just make notes of where you were and where the cameras are what happens to you whenever you're there or wherever you are and like always Pray for these people they like always because the Good Lord will always reveal the hidden things done to his children...🇺🇸 I LOVE YOU...🙋🏾‍♀️

Bad guys can wear a mask while they disable (spray paint, smash, etc) the camera, then go about their thievery.
