Night-time security with the infrared security camera system

Posted by RaynaJess on March 7th, 2014

These days it makes no sense to invest in standard CCTV cameras. Well if you just want to cover your office lobby or your living room you are most welcome to buy standard CCTV cameras. But the moment your security requirement is more you need much better cameras like a high resolution security camera or an infrared security camera system.

Now why would a high resolution security camera serve a better purpose than a CCTV camera? As far as I'm concerned there is only one reason - better face recognition. The moment you install a CCTV camera to cover a large space you compromise on face image clarity. If you want to zoom into someone's face for a better picture the image gets blurred. an HD security camera is 30 times more effective than a standard CCTV camera. A standard high resolution security camera is 3MP whereas a standard CCTV camera is about 0.1MP - there has to be a difference in quality between the two. Yes, the former is more expensive but it is vastly more effective too.

A good quality high resolution security camera can provide 500% larger images than CIF and 34% larger images than D1. The HD camera produces sharper images where a lot of detailing is visible. And since the technology is very advanced there is no distortion in the image even when it is projected on a wide screen monitor or TV. And once you buy this system you can keep upgrading as newer and better products hit the market.

But even the best HD camera is of no use when it is ineffective at night. And as we all know most of the crimes are committed at night. If you are not home and someone breaks in a standard HD camera will not be able to capture their faces properly. If there is 0 Lux light no image may be captured at all. However, this issue is perfectly taken care of by an infrared security camera system. With this system in place you can capture the clearest of images in areas where there is no light or a very small amount of ambient light.

The magic of the infrared security camera system really shows at night. Even if there is total darkness this camera system can capture videos that are more than acceptable in quality. So, even if a housebreaker is clever enough not to turn on any light their movements and images can still be captured by an infrared security camera system. This is what makes so many people buy these camera systems.

Now where do you buy a high resolution security camera or an infrared security camera system? Websites like Amazon and eBay sell these products but would you be comfortable buying from these stores that sell everything? I would rather visit a specialized online store where I can look at all these cameras. And if I want I can get enough information about each and every camera that is available.

The infrared security camera system works best when you invest in a high resolution security camera.
