Evaluation Criteria
Five core technical considerations before committing to a camera installation.
Megapixel counts determine identification distance. 4K is optimal for vehicular license plates, while 2K delivers crisp facial identification at entrance gates.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivers uninterrupted data and power in one cable. Battery models provide rapid placement where wiring access is impossible.
Local NVR units maintain recordings completely on-premise without recurring cloud subscription liabilities or external bandwidth drain.
Standard infrared delivers discrete black-and-white monitoring, while high-aperture sensors produce full-colour imaging under street illumination.
Check environmental ingress ratings (IP66 or IP67) for open perimeter fences versus discreet dome units under covered architecture.
