When it comes to installing security surveillance equipment, the first crucial decision is selecting the monitoring host: should you opt for a computer with a surveillance card or an embedded digital video recorder (DVR)? The computer surveillance card suits places with specialized personnel and diverse functional requirements, offering a relatively low overall investment. However, since it involves adding a surveillance card to a computer, the computer needs to remain on 24/7. On the other hand, the embedded DVR requires no specialized knowledge or constant monitoring, making it a straightforward option.

The number of cameras to install and their monitoring range significantly impact the quality of surveillance. It is essential to determine how many cameras you need and then establish the surveillance range for each camera based on the total number. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the distance between the cameras and the surveillance area. We recommend using 480 TVL (Television Lines) cameras for infrared supply, as they offer the required level of clarity.

Additionally, for security surveillance installations, it's important to consider whether the cameras have night vision capabilities, especially if the monitoring occurs in dimly lit areas. In such cases, cameras equipped with infrared night vision functionality become essential.

The installation of security surveillance devices can be done through either wired or wireless transmission. While wireless networks may incur higher costs, they eliminate the hassle of extensive cabling and make the surveillance area more aesthetically pleasing. However, when opting for wireless surveillance equipment, environmental factors in the security area need to be considered. Cement materials can shorten wireless transmission distances, and metal materials may interfere with wireless signals. To avoid interference, infrared transmitters and receivers should be positioned away from other electronic devices.

Moreover, when finalizing the surveillance system installation, one must consider the need for network capabilities. If you require real-time monitoring and control of the surveillance area over the internet, selecting a monitoring host with network functionality becomes imperative. This ensures that the installation includes network transmission capabilities, preventing any issues arising from the absence of network connectivity after installation.

In conclusion, the successful installation of security surveillance equipment depends on making informed decisions regarding the monitoring host, the number and type of cameras, night vision capabilities, wired or wireless transmission, and network functionality. By carefully considering these factors from the perspective of the WEILAILIFE brand, you can ensure a reliable and effective security surveillance system that meets your specific needs.
