Terminology:

CBR: “Constant bit rate [encoding] means that the rate at which a codec’s output data should be consumed is constant.” (i.e. the amount of data flowing from camera to user/nvr is always constant – even during movement or lack thereof. [See also VBR])

DSD: (http://www.dsdcctv.com/)

DVR: “a consumer electronics device or application software that records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card or other local or networked mass storage device.”

Edge Recording: “The concept of taking audio/video from a camera, and storing it at the edge of the Ethernet network instead of transporting it across the network to a centralized recording facility such as a Network Video Recorder.” (Most cameras have this ability now.)

IR/IR Illuminator: LED’s (often a separate device) which provide illumination for cameras in near to total darkness. The light produced cannot be seen by the human eye. The camera must be sensitive to IR for this to be useful (some cameras have ‘fixed’ IR cut filters). ‘White light’ illuminators are also available. These produce light visible to the human eye and to a camera with or without an IR cut filter.

LPR/ANPR/AVI/CPR/LAPI: “A mass surveillance method that uses optical character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates.”

NAS: Basically a box filled with hard drives for storage of data. Some cameras have the ability to record directly to these networked boxes without the need for an always on or dedicated computer.

NVR: “A software program that records video in a digital format to a disk drive, USB flash drive, SD memory card or other mass storage device.”

ONVIF: “Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) is a global and open industry forum with the goal to facilitate the development and use of a global open standard for the interface of physical IP-based security products.”

PIR: Passive Infrared “is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.”

PoE: “A system to safely pass electrical power, along with data, on Ethernet cabling.”

UPS: “uninterruptible power supply…is an electrical apparatus that provides emergency power to a load when the input power source, typically mains power, fails.”

VBR: “Variable bit rate files vary the amount of output data per time segment.” (i.e. Less data during still scenes, more data during high movement periods.)

WDR: “‘Wide dynamic range’ describes an attribute of an imaging system which can capture greater scene details from shadows to highlights than normal.”

 .

Commonly Asked Questions:

Q: “Which brand or manufacturer should I buy?”

A: Each brand has its strengths and weakness, whether it be price, size, low light capabilities, resolution, frame rate, support, software, compatibility, etc. There really isn’t one magical brand or camera. Each security scenario is different and requires a unique solution.

 .

Q: “Where can I buy an IP HD PTZ Outdoor Camera for $200?”

A: Probably not going to happen. PTZ cameras are expensive because of all the motors, belts, gears, and such. Perhaps instead consider using several fixed multi-megapixel HD cameras instead for coverage.

 .

Q: “How do I embed/add video from a camera to a website?”

A: See: http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=1290 or http://bit.ly/10rC8WV

Q: “How do I view my cameras on my TV/Monitor?

A: Consider using an Android powered HDMI dongle. These mini computers are powerful and compact enough to be attached to a TV or monitor for camera viewing using an Android app. Also see: http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=1049

 .

Q: “Should I buy a Foscam?”

A: These cameras are not typically discussed here because of their poor reliability and feature set. They are often cloned and copied making firmware updates and support hard to come by. So in short, probably not. However if you are just starting with IP cameras, many members have since upgraded from these over time to bigger and better.

 .

Q: “How do I view my camera(s) from the internet?”

A: You need to setup your router for port forwarding. Here are several guides to assist you. See: http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=124 or http://bit.ly/184DTvf

 .

Q: “What shutter speed should I use during low light/night?”

A: “Typically 1/30 of a second is as low as you would want to have it set. Any longer and moving objects will be blurry making the footage less then useful.

 .

Q: “Should I use a wireless camera for my application?”

A: Wifi signals, especially at long distances, can drop or become unreliable. They also become targets of hacking “resulting in free access to your personal cameras (EXTREMLY DANGEROUS) or blocked cameras, ones that will not record anything.” It is best to use a hardwired connection via cable for installations. PoE installation can supply signal and power over one cable for easy installation. If a cable is not an option consider using a dedicated wifi access point, like the type made by Ubiquiti Networks.

Technical Guide to IP Cameras– Overview, Types, Applications

.

An IP camera (Internet Protocol Camera) is a type of security camera that receives video data and sends video footage via an IP network. It is also known as network camera or IP security camera, often used as remote monitoring and management tools in many sectors and environments to protect the property or monitor home, business, or public security. Connected with other devices such as network video recorders and displays via a network, IP cameras allow you to monitor specific areas from any remote location, bringing much convenience to our daily lives.

How Does An IP Camera Work?

IP cameras work the same way as digital cameras to capture high-quality images. What sets them apart is the capability of IP cameras to compress those files and automatically transmit them to a network video recorder (NVR) via a network. Usually, IP cameras are connected to the network via ethernet cable with a broadband modem or router, or wirelessly via a Wi-Fi router.

In a building that has already been equipped with a network, all you have to do is to connect the IP surveillance cameras and other devices into your network system, just the same way that you would do when you connect your laptop or cell phone to your Wi-Fi.

After everything is well connected, the cameras can start working, capturing and sending video footage to the network video recorder.

Four Common Types of IP Camera

There are various video surveillance solutions, in which many different types of security cameras are adopted. Among those surveillance cameras, there are four most commonly used ones, dome cameras, bullet cameras, and turret cameras. Knowing more about the differences among dome vs bullet vs turret vs fisheye cameras will help you find out the one that fits you most.

Four Important Specifications of IP Cameras

When looking for a security camera, not only should you decide on the type of it, but also you need to notice that the specifications can make a huge difference. There are four of the most essential specifications.

Resolution

The resolution of IP cameras is the total number of pixels that make up an image, which is usually measured by the width and height of the image. The most common resolutions of security cameras are 720p, 1080p, 5MP, 4K and 8MP. Usually, higher resolutions mean that there are more pixels per inch (PPI), resulting in a high-quality, crisp image.

Field of View

The lens of an IP camera allows you to frame an area that you want to spot. Different lens systems come with different fields of view, which determines how wide an area you can see. A wider field of view will allow the camera to spot a larger area. Typically, for a large parking lot and a small room, you will need lenses with different viewing angles.

Focal Length

The focal length of a lens, which is measured in “mm”, determines the angle of view and how far the camera can see. There are two types of lens, fixed lens and varifocal lens. The most common fixed focal length is 3.6mm, which leads to a 90° view angle and a distance of 20 feet. There is also 8mm lens with a 40° view angle and identification distance of 40 feet. For varifocal lenses, the most common ones are 2.8-12mm lenses.

At 2.8mm you get around 100° view angle, with only around 10-feet identification distance. At 12mm you will achieve around a 30° angle of view and identification at around 50 feet. The wider the focal length, the further away it can focus and the narrower the field of view.

Low Light Sensitivity

Low-light sensitivity, usually measured in Lux(lx), refers to the ability of a camera to provide high-quality images even in low-light conditions by presenting details and reducing noise in the output images. There are few factors contributing to the low light performance of a camera, including pixel size, signal-to-noise ratio, lens aperture, etc. A lower Lux has the ability to present high-quality images in darker areas. For example, cameras with 100-1,000lx are applied to record under work-space light, while cameras with 0.0001lx are usually adopted for moonless nights or overcast nights.

Most Popular IP Camera Applications

Home Use

For those looking for tools to get close with their families, monitor family security or protect family property, IP cameras are always a go-for item. Many homeowners equip their families with a video surveillance system to make themselves and their families feel safer.

The IP cameras installed in home security systems have been used to serve a number of purposes. For example, they can be installed near the front door to capture the image of each one who steps into or sneaks around the house, or installed in the backyard to catch a view of their families’ happy moments, or installed inside the room, to make sure their baby is being well taken care of, etc.

Business Use

Commercial security cameras are often used in business buildings, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, etc. For business owners, security cameras can not only protect their property to ensure normal operations and prevent criminal acts with real-time monitoring, but also can keep them connected with daily operations and employee safety.

Outdoor perimeter security can also be maintained with video surveillance solutions to monitor the surroundings. Compared to traditional systems, commercial IP video surveillance systems offer greater reliability and security with built-in encryption, data compression, network connection, and cybersecurity measures.

Public Safety

Surveillance cameras play an important role in managing public rules, protecting public safety and property. It’s not difficult to find that there are plenty of monitoring cameras along the traffic roads, parking lots and around the governments or hospitals. Moreover, there are lots of public areas deployed with security cameras, including schools, parks, communities, neighborhoods, etc.

Conclusion

IP cameras have become a dispensable part of home, business or public surveillance systems. With the proper video management software, the video recorded by IP cameras can be viewed from anywhere worldwide via the network, whether using a laptop or a mobile phone. In many cases, IP cameras can also be controlled remotely, adding much convenience to our lives.

There are various types of security cameras that are designed for specific applications, and that’s why you need to take several factors into consideration when purchasing IP cameras for your security system. Before the next step, it would be better to figure out your budget and your requirements first.

Guide to Understanding IP Cameras

Welcome to a venture into the captivating digital world of Internet Protocol (IP) cameras. Whether you’re considering investing in this game-changing technology or you’re simply eager to boost your tech acumen, we’ve got your covered. Untangling complex technical jargon and translating it into simple language, this blog post will chart your course through the depths of understanding IP cameras.

What is an IP Camera?

An IP camera , also known as a network camera, is a digital video tool that sends and receives data via the internet. Unlike its analogue predecessor, the CCTV (Closed Circuit TV), it offers the functionality to view live or recorded footage from anywhere, anytime using a web-based platform or mobile application. Think of IP camera as the digital evolution.

Advantages of the IP Camera

.

Understanding IP Camera Operation

Let’s dive deeper into how these fantastic little devices work.

Capturing Images

The essence of an IP security camera is in its lens, sensor, and processor. The lens focuses on the light emanating from the surroundings, which then hits a digital sensor. This sensor transforms the received light into an electronic signal that the processor can turn into a digital video stream.

Sending Images

The key difference between an IP camera and previous systems lies in its ingenious use of the Internet Protocol. Instead of sending unprocessed data to a recorder, IP cameras encode and process the signal on the device before transmitting it to be stored or viewed over the network. This reduces the workload for the recorder, enhancing the system’s efficiency.

.

Most Popular Types of IP Cameras

Not all IP cameras are created equal, of course. Different styles suit different needs. Here’s a quick classification of the most commonly used types:

Bullet Cameras

These are named for their cylindrical shape, resembling a bullet. Bullet cameras are great for monitoring both wide focused areas such as entrances or small rooms.

Dome Cameras

Identified by their dome shape, these cameras provide a wider viewing angle ideal for bigger spaces like living rooms or stores.  Some come with adjustable lenses to hone in on important areas.

PTZ Cameras

PTZ stands for Pan-Tilt-Zoom. A PTZ IP camera provides the functionality to remotely control the movement and zoom of the camera, making it perfect for large, open spaces.

.

Record

Under the Record tab, you have the ability to enable recordings based on two different options: Continuous Recording and Event record. You should enable one of these options if you wish to schedule recording times automatically.

Accessory

The cameras can detect motion in the viewing areas and can as a result of that detection, take a snapshot, record a video, trigger an alert, etc.

The Accessory tab offers two options to configure what the camera should do if and when motion is detected in the covered area:

● Motion Detection

Select the Motion Detection tab to determine how sensitive the camera is when it comes to sensing motion. You can change the sensitivity settings for day and night operation separately to improve motion detection.

Entering the Device Config Menu

For all of the steps below, you’ll have to first enter the ‘Device Config’ menu from the main page.

You will then have to select the camera from the ‘default group’ on the left hand pane.

From now on, whenever we talk about navigating to the ‘Device Config’ menu, it means following these steps.

.

Checking SD Card

If your camera has SD card support, you can check the status of the card and format it under the ‘Disk Manager’  window under ‘Device Config’. A window like this means an SD card cannot be detected:

.

If this is the case, ensure the memory card is inserted correctly in to the camera, and then power the camera off and then on. You should see some information populate the card field, such as a total size larger than 0MB. If the card shows an ‘Error’ in the status, you can highlight the row and click ‘Format’ on the side to re-format the card to work in the camera.

Note that the card gets formatted in a way that the CMS5 software can read, through the camera. If you remove the card and insert straight to your computer, it wont be able to be read and your computer will try and format the card before reading, which will remove all of the data. 

.

Motion Recording

If your camera has a built in SD card reader, you can set up motion recording to capture events of interest, rather than sifting through hours of continuous footage. To enable this, navigate to ‘device config’, then select your camera on the left hand side.

.

Enter the ‘record config’ menu and ensure that there is a tick in the ‘detect’ box. You can also set a schedule in the time section for when you want recording events to occur. By default, its set as 00:00 to 23:59, which is 24 hours a day. Click ‘apply’ to update any settings changes.

.

Enable Audio

For cameras with a built-in microphone, or with an external microphone attached, you will have to enable audio for the camera. Now go to the encode option, you will see the mainstream Collom and extra stream Collom with four tick boxes at the bottom.

You will want all four of these boxes to be ticked and then press the apply and ok button.

On the live camera feed, you will see a speaker icon towards the top which you can click on to unmute the sound.

That’s everything set up, you will now be able to get audio on the live video feed from your camera.

.

Changing Camera Parameters

.

All of the cameras we sell will have preset parameters that will be suitable for most applications and usually won’t need to be amended. If you find that you need to change any settings, go to ‘device config’ and then ‘Camera Param’. Some of the settings are explained below:

.

.

Set Camera Time

To keep an accurate log on when events have occurred, and to make searching for files easier, it’s best to keep the correct time set to the camera. Luckily, this is very simple to do. Navigate to the ‘Device Config’ window, and enter the ‘System Config’ menu.

Enter the system time in this menu apply these settings. 

.

Playback Footage

If you have a camera with a built-in SD card, the footage will need to be played back and downloaded through the ‘Playback’ menu in CMS5. 

Select your camera from the right-hand side under the ‘Device’ menu.

Then set the parameters for the footage that you want to view. By default, the time parameters will be for today’s date, but you can modify this range, then click ‘search’.

The list of files and times will display on the bottom bar, as shown below.

Hints & Tips

How to: Configure Port Forwarding on a Gamut Recorder

In this guide, we will go through setting up your Gamut Hybrid DVR for remote access so you can view it on your computer, Android and Apple mobile devices. Please follow through every step of the guide and make sure you keep notes of the IP Address correctly as these are needed.

.

On your Android and Apple mobile devices, you will want to download the app called RXCamLinkPro.

.

Step 1: Setting Up Your LAN (Internal Network)

.

Step 2: Setting Up External Network Access

.

* Go to PortForward.com, which has a comprehensive list of guides on how to forward ports for almost every router and hub ever manufactured. Simply select your router from the list and then click the “Click here to skip this advertisement…” link in the top right-hand corner of the next page. Then click the “Default Guide” link provided.

.

.

Configuring Static IP or Dynamic DNS

.

The last step in configuring your DVR involves finding a way around the fact that your external IP address (IP Address 3 from Section 2, Step 1 of this guide) changes on a  regular basis – think of it as writing a letter to someone who moves house every week! There are 2 ways of doing this, using either a Static IP address or a Dynamic DNS address.

.

The easiest method is using a static IP address, but this can be expensive and not all internet service providers can facilitate it. To do this, call your ISP and ask them to arrange it for you (it’s not something you can easily do). Most ISPs will charge for this service, but once set up your external IP address (IP Address 3) will never change.

.

To use a dynamic DNS service takes a little more setting up but is usually cheaper. The DVR is compatible with several DDNS providers, but we recommend Dyn.com (not affiliated with SpyCameraCCTV). Unfortunately, we cannot provide a step-by-step setting up guide for registering with these services.

.

Need Help Setting Up?

If you are stuck and need extra help, in most cases our technical team can configure your DVR web access for you. We have two services available depending on the level of support you wish to have.

In recent years, trail cameras have become a crucial tool for wildlife enthusiasts, providing significant knowledge into the behaviors and activities of animal species in the wild. With technology progressing quickly, the trail camera market features many alternatives, including traditional game cameras to newer cellular devices.

This article highlights the various kinds of trail cameras and provides an in-depth review of the critical features that will serve as an overview for first-time purchasers. Continue reading to gather the necessary information to make an informed decision when purchasing a trail or game camera.

What Is A Trail Camera?

Trail cameras are wireless devices that allow you to photograph animals without alerting them or even personally being present. These cameras are ideal for hunting, farm security, wildlife monitoring, and home security, among other things. The benefits are numerous, and you will like using these trail cameras.

Why are Trail Cameras Crucial for Wildlife Photography?

Trail cameras are handy for hunting and wildlife photography. These cameras offer a unique look into wild creatures, assisting hunters in better understanding their targets and planning their hunts appropriately.

Wildlife photographers can utilize trail cameras to capture spectacular photographs and video clips of wildlife in their natural environment.

Types of Trail Cameras

Trail cameras have several types. However, here we will discuss three types of such cameras:

Cellular Trail Camera:

While maybe the most basic of trail cameras, this dramatic installation employs cutting-edge technology. The camera incorporates motion sensors that capture an object as soon as it moves. It is compact, which means it is small and lightweight.

The construction is tough, waterproof, and concealed. These characteristics make them ideal for hunting. Unlike previous generations of wireless trail cams that saved images on SD cards, the current models use cellular technology to broadcast pictures to your mobile device or email: you receive a real-time alert in the event of movements.

Most of these cameras feature 8 MP. However, a few crucial varieties have up to 16MP, resulting in more detailed photographs. Furthermore, some have infrared capabilities for usage at night, with flash settings including incandescent, white led, red glow, low glow infrared, and virtually invisible no-glow infrared.

View on Amazon

Wi-Fi Trail Camera:

A Wi-Fi trail camera can deliver pictures to a desktop or laptop over a wireless connection. It belongs to the broad category of wireless cameras. You can access the images and videos using a Wi-Fi connection if you are within range of the signal.

You must first build your signal or network point to use the camera. These networks have a short range, generally 100 feet or less, but powerful ones can reach up to 500 feet.

This camera’s most notable downside is its excessive power consumption. These cameras require power to stay connected to the network. Some modern cameras employ a wireless remote to enable or disable the camera.

Wireless Trail Camera:

Wireless communication is improving. This technology-enabled camera allows users to access videos and pictures from a remote place.

The wireless trail camera relies on its signal or a signal provided by the user network to access video images.

Such cameras are incredibly convenient since you don’t have to walk to the camera to click the photographs. These cameras have a Wi-Fi signal. Such a camera can only communicate images via a link.

These cameras are more convenient and simpler to operate. When they detect movement, they send alerts to your laptop through a network.

These cameras are simple to operate. You can use them for security at home in addition to in-game surveillance. You will receive an immediate notification if there is any motion because they have motion sensors.

Wireless cameras’ drawback is that their batteries run out quickly, necessitating frequent recharges. Use them in areas with AC connections.

Key Features of Trail Cameras

Here are the key features of trail cameras:

View on Amazon

Trigger Speed and Recovery Time

A trail camera’s trigger speed is the duration to click a picture once the device detects motion. Recovery time is between taking a snapshot and being ready to take another one.

A camera with a quick trigger speed is ideal for photographing moving subjects. Similarly, a trail camera with fast recovery times is perfect for taking several pictures quickly. Again, this is ideal for animals that move quickly.

Cellular and Solar Cameras

Cellular cameras are a fantastic alternative if you want remote access to the trail camera’s photographs and settings without regularly dealing with your camera in the field. Similarly, adding a small solar panel to the trail camera will shorten deployment time. This is especially handy for deploying numerous cameras at once or monitoring inaccessible regions.

No-Glow or Low-Glow?

Trail cameras typically employ either no-glow or low-glow IR LEDs to capture photos in dim lighting. Animals probably don’t notice much of the visible light that no-glow LEDs emit. This is because of invisibility to the naked eye. However, it varies depending on the species.

Low-glow LEDs emit a very slight glow, making them somewhat visible and maybe attracting the attention of some animals. Low-glow cameras can illuminate across a wider area, which is one advantage.

Flash Range and Motion Detection Range

The range of a trail camera’s motion detection and flash are essential factors to consider if you intend to keep an eye on a broad region where you anticipate passing animals. A trail camera may detect an animal’s movement up to a certain distance from it when it detects motion.

The IR flash’s range is its maximum usable range. Low-light photographs of an animal may not clearly show the animal if the flash range is short and the animal is far away.

Resolution and Interpolation

The resolution of your photographs and videos significantly impacts their quality. However, remember that the megapixel numbers provided by manufacturers frequently underestimate the outcome of a process known as interpolation.

Many trail cameras allow you to change the resolution by interpolating or compressing it. Compression can help you save storage space by lowering the number of pixels. Interpolation adds pixels to a picture digitally, which consumes storage and causes delays in recovery while doing little to improve image quality.

Tips to Maintain and Troubleshoot Your Trail Cameras

· Keep your camera clean: Your camera’s lens may collect dust and dirt, which may reduce the clarity of the images. Use a soft towel to clean your camera often.

· Check Camera’s Battery: Check your batteries frequently and swap them out as necessary to keep your camera powered on.

· Troubleshooting problems: Consult the manufacturer’s troubleshooting manual if your camera isn’t operating or get help from customer service.

The Bottom Line

Every year, manufacturers appear to add new features to the list of trail camera functions. These features help photographers click high-end pictures. Begin by learning the function of the features, then decide whether you truly need them before paying for the ones you don’t. That is the simplest way to make the most of your future trail camera purchase.
