FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between CCTV and security cameras?

CCTV stands for closed-circuit television and involves sending a signal to a monitor that's usually based in a different location. In contrast, a security camera, usually part of a larger security system, transmits audio and video to a wireless receiver.

The purpose of both, however, is to provide 24-hour security through surveillance as well as deter any potential criminal activity.
Which is better For my CCTV system, NVR Or DVR?

DVR systems convert analogue to digital footage, while NVR systems work solely with digital, meaning they produce higher-quality images.

As such, DVR cameras are usually less complex and more affordable than NVR ones. Another thing to bear in mind with NVR is that it can occasionally suffer from signal loss when there is an overload on the Wi-Fi, resulting in missing clips.

With so many variables to consider, the best option for you will depend on your requirements, so get in touch for more specific advice.
What type of CCTV system is best?

The best type of CCTV system depends on your needs. You can find cameras more suited to the outdoors or those which perform better in the dark.

Night vision cameras are most effective in low light while other options can pick up better-quality video during the day.
