Purchasing tips for CCTV cameras

Choosing the correct CCTV Camera for your digital surveillance system is very important. The Digital CCTV Camera, together with a CCTV Lens, uses a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) sensor that captures the image and turns it into a signal that is sent to the monitor or surveillance system.

You will need to decide the following when choosing a cctv camera & lens for a digital cctv system:

1. The Digital Camera Location : Will the camera be situated Indoors / Outdoors
2. The amount or variance of light conditions for the digital cctv camera : Will the camera have to record in low-light conditions such as at night?
3. The Field of View required for the camera : How wide or narrow an angle of vision is required 
4. The Focal Length - How far away objects you wish to record will be from the camera 
5. Your budget
