Published

on

Many times considered part of the Caribbean, much like Costa Rica this central American country is famous for fantastic scuba diving and jungle expeditions. The world famous blue hole found near the coast is surreal and almost out of this world for a scuba diving experience. 

Security camera installers can be found throughout Belize and are the perfect source for local professional service when security is necessary. We can only anticipate the number of difficulties that can be encountered in a country with limited resources and supplies. It is vital to always have a game plan in place way before any project is begun. Commercial technology which maximizes the potential for immediate success is inherently a must when working throughout Central America. Misunderstandings and flawed anticipations can quickly lead a project astray and should be prevented at all costs to reduce loss of valuable work hours and equipment. Another factor to always calculate is operational costs that can quickly range into the hundreds of dollars per year for upkeep and maintenance. Remote viewing for security cameras in these environments throughout Belize is vital for security but also peace of mind. Especially troubling because the Internet connection that can sometime fluctuate and cause disruptions of service and viewing from outside of the country. In mission critical environments satellite data connections can be established even going as far as utilizing solar panels for back up power and regeneration during down times. Calculating all of these variables is an Integral part of a system configuration. 

Economic indicators sometimes point towards short-term solutions that can quickly Leave customers unsatisfied with performance and long-term expectations. The collapse and complete failure of a security system in a compromised environment is a very real possibility that should always be calculated and where a secondary backup system should always be in place. In many instances having the recording device in a hidden location away from any access and providing a simulated dummy target for the savvy criminal is a good rule of thumb. Police security systems have also been in world news thanks to famous celebrities that have blessed the country and left their compromising mark. Limited evidence is a gargantuan problem in Belize where security cameras are limited and the prosecution rate is extremely low with a conviction rate of well below 3%. This leaves plenty of room for criminals to parade around with little hassle. Adding security cameras in Belize City has been an ongoing project for local government with limited finances and much more pressing matters like weapons and tactical equipment needs. 

Consumers are always willing to pay for the items that they find crucial and necessary when all options are explained correctly. Having access to live demonstrations of security cameras in the real world environment is a perfect way to start the presentation for a new client. Make sure that your supplier can provide demo login and guaranteed Network speed necessary for a proper and significant demonstration. 

Digital video recorders used for commercial deployments can regularly provide ample power for quick access to remote video and And accelerated play back speeds. With multi channel play back the commercial grade DVR can quickly allow a user to find and back-up any event crucial to an investigation. Having a digital video recorder with fast processors is an absolute necessity when performance is in mind. CCTV cameras with housings that can be deployed in high humidity and tolerant to extreme heat are also vital in Belize.

Central management Software for computers which allows multiple site viewing simultaneously on one screen or multiple screens is an added benefit for larger systems. Broadcasting simultaneous to multiple smart phone devices is an added benefit of a high-performance security system. Having all these details and researching all your options Will allow the user greater control and performance will making a sound system decision. These security solution best practices are only good when implemented properly. Make sure to avail yourself of any innovation and grasp opportunities to break through and succeed in a long-term solution.

Folks tend to forget that 5MP resolution is much bigger than 1080p (which is actually 2MP in resolution). This means that connecting your 5MP IP or 5MP AHD cameras to a standard Full HD TV or monitor will not provide all the definition that you paid for in your CCTV system.

The security camera industry is now jam-packed with five-megapixel offers in analog coaxial based technology and digital IP. Soon to come will be digital over coax in the way of EX-SDI 4MP and EX-SDI 5MP CCTV Digital camera models.

4K CCTV monitors are not really a thing since most UHD TVs can handle the UHD resolution and continuous abuse that is necessary for surveillance systems. However, using UHD computer monitors with higher refresh rates and higher levels of brightness ( like IPS) can sometimes make a huge difference in how surveillance video at eight megapixels is displayed. Regardless, when installing or deploying a new 4K surveillance system always make sure to compare scaling and aspect ratios and keep everything in line and paired-up properly to avoid distorted video.

At higher resolutions frame rate can also suffer or must be sacrificed in order to process a higher resolution image. Another key aspect of surveillance video in the UHD level is sensitivity in poorly illuminated areas. Cortex surveillance cameras in the 4K category use premium CMOS  sensors specifically designed for low light areas and high color saturation during normal lighting conditions.

Why install five megapixel cameras? Prices are coming down dramatically in the five megapixel category and have replaced many of the other lower resolutions for video surveillance. Five megapixel cameras process through IP systems can be installed directly on your network or POE switches. When necessary, AHD  and TVI over coax can be installed and when using hybrid DVR’s, you can use both.

These UHD cameras have advanced features in the software like analytics that can be used for object detection, line crossing, faced detection and Cross counting. The 16 : 9 aspect ratio of these CMOS sensors also provide an amazingly wide image viewing angle. 

Cortex network video recorderS and software allow remote management and video recording of the video streams from these UHD network cameras. Additional streams can be managed for video management software like our RTSP on port 554 and substreams for cloud backup. 

 By integrating 4k Sony CMOS sensor into Cortex Network cameras this manufacturer provided superior night time performance that can be set for continuous color viewing instead of black and white. Color saturation during daytime and full lighting environments is also increased. The option of converting the image to black-and-white in order to take advantage of infrared lighting is a great option used to many times in excessively dark areas. 

8MP IP Cameras for low light areas are extremely important and provide extremely wide angles because of their aspect ratio.

2018 brings the latest wave of UHD IP cameras with many different labels like 4K IP cameras, 8meg IPC, 4K IPC, 8MP Cams and many others. One of the key issues that has held back 4K IP cameras is frame rate. Up to now users had to choose between very high resolution at extremely low frame rates like 1-3 FPS because of compression and throughput technology. With the latest release of high-efficiency compression engines including h.265, more information can be sent via networks and processed through network infrastructures. This means much higher frame rates like 15 FPS or even real time 30 frames per second. Prices fluctuate because of processing power and chipsets inside the cameras.

Citing reports from statistic gathering agencies, many distributors in the computer and home automation markets have also increased their offers of 4K IP cameras and recorders to their clients.

UHD IP cameras can be found for a variety of prices which reflects the components used and housings that are chosen. Even the finish and painting on the 4K rated housings have a direct correlation with prices since higher quality finishes and polishing delays production which increases labor costs. 8MP rates Lenses for 4K cameras also have a huge influence on final costs with many manufacturers scrambling to find cheap solutions that can increase their competitive edge. Premium sensors like Sony and Aptina have an effect on the cost of production and engineering.

4k IP cameras and NVRs also benefit from the mainstream branding of 4K TVs and household appliances. This mainstream resolution is now a must-have for any new video product on the market and will soon be dominant in the CCTV and surveillance world as well.

Another advancement in technology that has also increased UHD penetration into the markets is storage size. Western digital and Seagate have both introduced 8 TB and 10 TB hard drives that are dropping in price very quickly. There is even a display for a 12TB HDD visible in the pictures from the last CPSE security trade show in China. These new mega storage hard drives allow simpler cased designs with smaller power supplies which in turn lowers the cost of recorder manufacturing.  With so many affordable storage options and low-cost hybrid recorders, there is little doubt that 4K CCTV will make a big splash in 2018.

Be sure to shop the latest line of Cortex IP cameras and NVRs that will provide your clients with great value and long term performance.
