Austin CCTV Surveillance Camera Technology

Camera Technology has come a long way over the past decade. CCTV Surveillance Cameras are not only smaller than ever before, they are more affordable. Image quality has gone from barely visible, to more than you could ever wish to see. We have gone from VCR tape-based CCTV Surveillance Solutions to Digital Video Recorders that can now be networked and viewed from any mobile device.

Austin CCTV Surveillance Image Sensors

CMOS Image sensor

CMOS Cameras are relatively inexpensive to produce and have a small footprint. These sensors can be used with very little extra electronic components and are affordable, but usually have problems with contrast and color.

1/4 Inch CCD Image Sensor

1/4″ CCD image sensors are the next step up from CMOS. CCD is short for Charge Couple Devices. They require slightly more electronic components to build, so they cost slightly more. CCD Sensors offer more accurate color-capture while maintaining great contrast.

1/3 Inch CCD Image Sensor

1/3 Inch CCD Image Sensors have all the great features and benefits of the 1/4 inch sensors, but with higher capture capabilities. These image sensors are capable of reaching 700TVL of resolution.

Austin Wireless Camera Systems

Although wireless technology is constantly improving, there are many things to consider when choosing between wired  or wireless camera systems. The benefits of selecting wireless systems are the low cost of installation, having no visible wires, and ease of movement. While wireless cameras cost more, the cost of installation is usually less. The disadvantages of using wireless cameras is that they are  suceptible to interference. They can also interfere with other wireless networks such as computers. In addition, because wireless systems require electricity to operate, they still maintain the need for particular wires to be installed.
