None. It's a bit of a trick question, but it's one that we get asked quite frequently. It's not the security camera that records, but rather you will need a security dvr with a hard drive in order to record the video that the surveillance camera is sending. The amount of recording time that you can store depends upon several...

So you bought a PTZ camera and you are unsure why it does not work properly or if you have the baud rate set correctly. Depending on what type of PTZ control you have will dictate what baud rate you set it to. The baud rate is the address setting and speed at which communication occurs between your security camera...

Connecting multiple PTZ Cameras is a simple process that takes several PTZ cameras and allows them to use one joystick. The easiest way to connect multiple PTZ security cameras is to Daisy Chain the data line. PTZ cameras have three cable connectors, data (to run the joystick), power, and video (which are usually residing in one cable). Data can be...

So here we are again covering the application differences between c-mount cameras and cs-mount cameras. Last post we talked about the major differences between the two. We found that cs-mount cameras are more ideal because they can adapt to fit any type of lens without the use of an adapter. Most all c-mount cameras must have an o-ring, that helps...

So what is the big difference about c-mount versus cs-mount cameras? Many people don't realize that their are protocols to what lenses you can use on certain c-mount cameras. In the beginning modern cameras and lenses were made to format with CS mount rather than C mount. C mount lenses have a 17.52 length from the mounting position to the...

So you have a PTZ camera and you are trying to figure out how to hook it all up. The major thing to this camera is the data connection. The pigtails coming out the back of the surveillance camera is power, video, and data. So you have three connections to worry about. Also when you are hooking up your PTZ...

This is the brain of a PTZ camera. Most people never even know what these PTZ cameras are made of, so here is an example. This camera features a 1/4 type EXview HAD? CCD and high sensitivity of 1.5 lux (50 IRE). Exview is powerful chip-set technology, where infrared and non-infrared cameras (like this ptz camera lens) renders more detail...

Here is a another new surveillance CCTV camera to added to our arsenal of security cameras. This one is very special thought. I looks like a ptz camera, but it is not! It has the pan and tilt feature but no zooming feature. See what we want to express here is this surveillance camera's special ability to work for very...

Ever wonder why we can sell discount security cameras? Why does it seem that here in the U.S.A. everything is so expensive to make here? A perfect example is in our business! The fact is China has a vast amount of natural resources under the ground. That means there is lots of supply. Whatever they don't use they try and...

How to make a PTZ camera Track Objects So you want to know how you can make a PTZ camera track objects? There a few ways you can do it. One way you can do it is to buy an auto-tracking ptz security camera. Or you can get a converter box that you can inter-phase to run your non-auto-tracking ptz...

So everyone has seen, or heard about security cameras right? Most people think of security cameras as digital cameras. Naturally they are on the right track. Security cameras are not too complicated, they are a tad different than digital or professional cameras. They still have the basic things about them, a lens, integrated circuit board, and chip sets. However, there are other things about security cameras...
