In terms of the form of data transmission, wide-angle CCTV cameras can be analog or IP (Internet Protocol) based. Can they be used outdoors? - Yes, the above 180 cameras are enclosed in a weatherproof housing which allows them to be installed outdoors or indoors. It has a durable construction and its weatherproof design is able to withstand all the weather conditions without interfering with the performance of the camera.

The camera stores its data onto a MicroSD card (with a maximum option of 128GB), however this is not included with the camera and must be sourced separately. Any footage can be replayed by the Reolink app. Be warned, however, that all footage will be automatically overwritten whenever the memory becomes full. Is there a big difference between 4mp and 1080p resolution? - 4mp resolution is 2x larger than 1080p (which is equivalent to 2mp resolution). Please watch this 4mp vs 1080p video, which compares the two resolutions using our 180 cameras. The night vision is also not as good as it ought to be. Possibly because this is a 4K camera that features only a maximum of 12 fps (frames per second), moving objects captured at night can be very blurry, with a great deal of ‘ghosting’ taking place as well. In reality, the ‘detection zones’ function doesn’t work very well at all. No matter what ‘detection zones’ are set up, the camera will usually still activate in those areas. This is very disappointing – and you’re not wrong to expect better from a piece of technology that occupies such a serious role.

iDVR-PRO HD DVR. In addition to providing a recording platform, the iDVR-PRO lets users log in from remotely over the Internet to view the camera live. The below image was captured while viewing the camera while the iDVR-PRO Viewer app for iPhone. Fisheye cameras: This type of camera is designed with a lens that allows for a wider field of view up to 360°. Fisheye cameras can be used both indoors and outdoors, making them a great choice for any home or business surveillance system. However, images from a fisheye camera are usually distorted. I have also found their online library of manuals and videos very useful for comparing equipment and troubleshooting. This camera is typically connected to a surveillance DVR by hard wiring it using the same RG-59 or RG6 coaxial cable that is used for analog CCTV cameras.

The motion detector uses a PIR (passive infrared) detection system, as well as thermal detection. Once activated, it sends a notification to your phone within 2 – 5 seconds. When you request a quote, we will also send you login information to our demo system so that you can try out the remote viewing apps.

With good care and maintenance, performance is a guarantee. Read about dome vs Bullet cameras here. Wide-angle IP cameras with 2mm focal length, in general, cover 166.9 degrees wide areas, like fisheye cameras (panoramic video cameras) with 180/360 degrees wide angle. One of the advantages of our 180 cameras is that they can use the same RG59 coax cable as traditional analog CCTV cameras and the cable runs can be just as long (max distance about 800 feet). Our RG59 Siamese cable options have been tested with AHD cameras and are guaranteed by CCTV Camera Pros to work with the AHD cameras that we supply. With motion spotlights, the camera has a remarkable ability to handle low-light conditions by producing advanced full-color images at night. Rated IP66, this camera can withstand any harsh weather conditions.
