High-Definition Video (HD & 4K Resolution)
- Description: Advances in camera technology have led to the development of high-definition (HD) and ultra-high-definition (4K) cameras. These cameras provide clearer, more detailed footage, making it easier to identify people and objects.
- Examples: 1080p HD, 4K resolution cameras
Infrared (IR) and Night Vision
- Description: Infrared technology allows cameras to capture video in low-light or no-light conditions. Cameras equipped with IR LEDs can see in complete darkness by using infrared light.
- Examples: IR-enabled cameras, active infrared illuminators.
Motion Detection
- Description: Motion detection technology enables CCTV systems to detect movement in a predefined area. When movement is detected, the system can trigger recording or send alerts to the user.
- Examples: Passive infrared sensors (PIR), software-based motion detection
Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ)
- Description: PTZ cameras are equipped with the ability to pan (move horizontally), tilt (move vertically), and zoom in/out. These cameras provide a wide range of coverage and can be controlled remotely.
- Examples: Remote-controlled PTZ cameras, automatic PTZ tracking.
Facial Recognition
- Description: Facial recognition technology uses AI to identify or verify individuals based on facial features. This technology is becoming more common in security systems for access control and surveillance.
- Examples: AI-powered cameras with facial recognition software, real-time identification of individuals
License Plate Recognition (LPR)
- Description: LPR technology is used to read and identify vehicle license plates. This is commonly used in parking lots, entrances, and tollbooths for automatic identification and tracking of vehicles.
- Examples: LPR cameras with automated number plate recognition (ANPR).
Video Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Description: Video analytics powered by AI can automatically analyze video footage to detect events, behavior patterns, or anomalies. Common applications include object detection, people counting, and alert generation.
- Examples: AI-based object detection, intrusion detection, and automatic alert systems.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) Technology
- Description: PoE allows both power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying the installation of IP cameras and reducing cable clutter.
- Examples: PoE-enabled IP cameras, NVRs with PoE switches.
