    Choosing IP cameras

    Choose the resolution and lens for the scene first, then confirm that the recorder, switch and cabling can carry the video. The cameras here run from 12 V DC or standard PoE and connect to an NVR over Cat6.

    Resolution and bitrate
    2 MP suits doors, counters and small rooms. Move to 4 MP, 6 MP or 8 MP for yards, car parks and long corridors where you need to enlarge part of the image. Each step up raises the stream bitrate, which adds to recorder bandwidth and storage.
    Lens and field of view
    A 2.8 mm lens gives a wider view for rooms and short distances, and a 3.6 mm lens suits doorways and gates at moderate range. Check the detect, observe, recognise and identify distances on the datasheet against the distance to your subject.
    Night vision
    IR models switch to black and white in the dark and suit yards and perimeters. Full-colour models add a visible light to keep colour at night, which suits entrances and shop floors. Rated IR range applies in open, clear conditions, so allow margin.
    Power and PoE draw
    The cameras accept 12 V DC or IEEE 802.3af PoE and draw roughly 3 to 6 W at full load. Use the maximum figure on the datasheet, not the idle figure, when you size a PoE switch or a 12 V supply.
    Recorder compatibility
    The cameras support ONVIF, so they connect to most network recorders, but functions such as smart search and event alarms work most fully with a recorder from the same maker. Check that the recorder supports the camera's resolution and H.265, and that the combined bitrate of all cameras stays within its incoming bandwidth.
    Audio and local storage
    Every model here has a built-in microphone, so switch audio off where recording sound is not intended. Models with a microSD slot keep recording if the network drops, so check the datasheet if you need that.

    Installation and compatibility

    • Run Cat6 from the switch to each camera, to a maximum of 100 m including patch cords. Use pure copper cable, because copper-clad aluminium has higher resistance and shortens PoE reach.
    • Give each camera a fixed IP address or a DHCP reservation, and change the default password before the network is connected to the internet.
    • Keep IR cameras clear of walls, glass and pillars close to the lens, which reflect infrared back and wash out the image.
    • Seal outdoor cable joints and leave a drip loop below the camera so that water does not run into the connector.
