Check the infrared surveillance images of this IP CCTV Camera System. Make sure you are picking up a camera which provides crystal clear image in a zero light environment. The inbuilt IR LED must do full justice with the illuminating power of the camera. All minute activities should get captured in the dark.

Coaxial HD Security Camera

The PTZ cameras manufactured by gwsecurityusa.com support the UTC- "Up The Coax." This technology transmits video and PTZ commands both with the RG59 coax cable. You will find 3 wires in the UTC compatible PTZ to connect it with a DVR.

2. The red wire is the power cable- 18/2 standard wire. This wire will connect the 4K security camera with a power supply box or power transformer.
3. The green wire connects the DVR with a router using the CAT-5e cable. This wire gives you easy access on remote PTZ control from mobile or PC.

Manual Video Format

The manual video format is the key thing that a PTZ camera must include. It allows you to select the formats in the following ways,

• AHD- 1080p Resolution
• HDCVI- 1080p Resolution
• HD-TVI- 1080p Resolution
• Analog CCTV (CVBS)- 960H Resolution

Select the format with the help of sub-OSD menu. You can access the on-screen display by providing certain PTZ control commands.

Except for this checklist, you must keep in mind that the security camera must be easy to install or wall mount. Moreover, it should be compatible with the DVR. Additionally, the OSD optimization should be prompt whenever a command is given.
