“All I wanted is to be home alone, at someone else’s home”I just wanted to go in quietly and do my thing.

I don’t want to be seen.I don’t want to be heard.

I don’t want any attention.I don’t want to be recorded.I don’t want to be identified.

I don’t want to leave any evidence.

HOW RESOLUTIONS WERE NAMED

WIDTH 960H = 960 pixels wide x 480 pixels high. Older res but Swann still sells a few 960H items.

HIGH DEFINITION STARTS FROM THIS POINT ON:

HEIGHT 720p | 1MP = 1280 wide by 720 high. [High Definition]

HEIGHT 1080p | 2MP = 1920 wide by 1080 high. [Full High Definition]. Blu-Ray quality

PIXELS 3MP = 2048 x 1536 = 3,145,728 pixels. Rounded to 3MP [Super HD]. 52% more pixels than 1080p (Full HD)

PIXELS 4MP = 2560 x 1440 = 3,686,400 pixels. Rounded to 4MP. [Super HD] as well 81% more pixels than 1080p (Full HD) & 4 x > 720p

WIDTH 4K | 8MP = rounding of the 3840 width. Height is 2160 [Ultra HD | UHD] 4x more pixels than 1080p (Full HD). Available in 2017

4K3840 x 2160

4MP2548 x 1440

3MP2048 x 1536

1080P1920 x 1080

720P1280 x 720

960H960 x 480

TYPES OF RESOLUTION: IT CAN GET CONFUSINGResolutions (1080p, 3MP, 4K) are inconsistently named after different image attributes:• Width• Height• Total number of pixels (rounded to Megapixels)

WHY CHOOSE HD (720P & 1080P)?To enjoy the sort of image quality you are used to seeing on your flat screen TV with 1080p HD resolution on live & recorded video See license plates, facial detail, wider angles, sharper image quality & more

zoo mingThe higher the resolution, the more you can zoom in into identifiable details with

the DVR / NVR menu system

Faces Licence Plates Clothing Colours

While 720p is HD and 1080p is Full HD, in the case of 3MP & 4MP, both are called Super HD, while 4K is Ultra HD

Why go Super HD (3MP and higher)?If 720p and 1080p are already HD, why would I want Super HD (3MP, 4MP)?Answer in one word:

SECURITY BASICS - BEGINNER MODULE 1

WHY CHOOSE A WIRED SYSTEM OVER WIRELESS?

Wireless Solution1. Good solution for apartments or temporary install2. Easier to install in hard-to-reach or detached

locations, such as a shed3. Only power cable, as image transmission is wireless4. Limitation to 4 cameras or less5. Distance limitation due to wireless signal6. Some record to SD card like a digital camera7. Easy to set up in less than 30 minutes

Wired Security Kit1. Better if you own your home2. Permanent solution, must run cables from cameras

to DVR/NVR. Installation can be more labour-intense

3. More reliable recording and viewing due to physical connection between cameras and recorder

4. Better suited to multiple streams & therefore large premises

DVRS VS NVRSKey differences: DVR vs NVR

DVR

Use less common coaxial cable

Max coaxial cable length: 200m

Coaxial cable: fatter, use BNC connectors

(larger, harder to thread, take longer to install)

Each camera needs power source (via splitter):

messier, uses more power

Cameras are analogue & images processed

by DVR

NVR

Use Ethernet cables, which are easier to find

Max Ethernet cable length: 100m

Ethernet cable is slimmer, smaller RJ59 connectors,

easier to run and install

Power over Ethernet (PoE): power from NVR. No need

for power splitters or wall sockets for cams

Cameras are digital and processed in cameras, hence

the higher camera price

QUESTIONS YOU CAN ASK YOUR CUSTOMER1) What do you need security for?

Surveillance/Capture evidence – recommend NVR (3MP or 4MP), especially because you can zoom in into finer identifiable detailsObservation (like watching pets) – recommend 720p as entry level with option to upgrade to a NVR systemUpgrade Security – recommend 720p for seamless install using existing cables.  Option to upgrade to a NVR system (new cables required)

2) Do you have a preference for wired or wireless CCTV?Wireless -  Digital wireless or 1080p WiFi – Advise, Wireless security restricts you to FOUR channel security systems onlyWired -  Find out how many cameras they need. Think of places thieves would use to gain access to property.

3) How many cameras do you think you’ll need?More than four – choice of 8 channel systemsLess than four – choice of 4 channel systems

4) Does your place have network wall sockets?YES – Recommend NVR, that uses Ethernet cables.

5) Do you already have a CCTV system or infrastructure?YES – If it is a DVR system the customer will already have the coaxial cabling infrastructure in place and may be looking to upgrade to a higher resolution such as upgrading from 960H to HD (720p or 1080p) or even to Super HD (4MP).In this case NVRs are not suited as NVRs use Ethernet cables and your client would have to replace all the existing DVR coaxial cabling infrastructure.NO – Then you’re open to recommend DVR or NVR according to their budget.

6) Do you have a budget in mind?YES – Offer an entry level system in DVR & NVR rangeNO – Offer a higher end security in DVR & NVR range

TOP DIY SECURITY TERMS YOU NEED TO KNOWAHDShort for Analog High Definition, AHD, is a type of video surveillance technology that has the benefits of High Definition without the higher price tag of digital HD.

AppApp is short for Software Application. The SwannView Link app allows end-users to view live video from their DVR (if compatible) on their 3G-enabled Smartphone or tablet.

AV ChannelThe channel on your TV that is usually used to watch DVDs & game consoles.

BNCBNC is a bayonet style connector for coaxial cable that is commonly used in the security industry.

CCDCCD stands for ‘Charge Coupled Device’, which is used as a type of image sensor. CCD sensors are high quality sensors that are commonly used in portable camcorders & similar video equipment.

CCTVClosed Circuit Television. A television system used for private purposes & not for public or general broadcast.

CIFCommon Intermediate Format, a recording resolution originally designed for video conferencing. It is one quarter (1/4) the size of a standard definition TV picture (352x240 NTSC, 352x288 PAL). CIF offers the most recording time but may not provide the level of detail required.

CMOSCMOS stands for ‘Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor’. CMOS image sensors are medium quality sensors that are commonly used in digital cameras & many low-powered image devices such as USB webcams.

Co-Axial CableThis refers to cable that has a central conductor, surrounded by a shield sharing the same axis. The shield can be made from a variety of materials including, braided copper, or lapped foil. There are various standards for specific types of co-axial cable. The cable used for normal CCTV installations is called RG59.

D1D1 is a full size standard definition TV picture (704x480 NTSC, 704x576 PAL). It is the highest recording resolution on some DVRs. D1 is 4 CIF frames arranged in a square, & therefore takes approximately 4 times the recording space of a CIF picture but offers better picture quality.

Digital WirelessModern technology that uses a point-to-point encrypted signal to produce superior video & sound for wireless surveillance.

DIY SecurityDo-It-Yourself security. The components including hardware & software can easily be installed without the help of professional installers.

DVRDigital Video Recorder. This is a device that records video signal digitally. Normally this is on a large hard drive in the machine.

HDDHard Disk Drive. Capacity is usually measured in GigaBytes (GB) or TeraBytes (TB).

HDMIShort for High Definition Multimedia Interface, compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. Commonly used in plasma & LCD HDTVs.

High DefinitionA term used to classify the image quality of TVs, DVD players, security systems and more, and measured in pixels. Greater picture quality with more pixels giving better detail that can be viewed. Video that is better quality than a standard definition picture ie 720p and above is usually considered high definition.

Image SensorThe light sensitive chip inside a security camera that can read levels of light & transform them into an image.

Infrared (IR)Infrared Night Vision allows cameras to ‘see in the dark’. It is the method of using IR LEDs (Infrared Light Emitting Diodes) as illumination for a camera with a sensor that can ‘see’ infrared light. Infrared light provides the illumination needed to capture clear images in total darkness or low-light conditions.

Infrared Cut FilterIs a filter applied to security cameras designed to reflect or block mid-infrared wavelengths while passing visible light. They are also used to block IR due to the high sensitivity of many camera sensors to near-infrared light.

IP CameraAn Internet Protocol camera that can be viewed over a network and the internet.

IP RatingA system used by manufacturers to describe the ability of their product to resist the effects of dust and water. For example, IP67 = 6 (protected from dust) and 7 (protected from the effects of immersion in water to depth between 15cm and 1m).
