Security is important to any business. Moreover, it is important to ensure the safety of objects both inside and outside. To ensure safety outside the building, external surveillance is used, which makes it possible to identify visitors, record vehicle numbers, and recognize intruders. The advantage of using such a system is a sufficiently long period of time during which it is possible to organize an effective adequate response.
Outdoor surveillance is most often organized with the help of video cameras arranged according to the terrain, topography and the location of the object. For a competent arrangement of devices, specialist consultation is necessary: in such a case, there are no trifles, and the presence of relevant experience will guarantee quality work. Today, outdoor surveillance is relevant not only for commercial or manufacturing enterprises. More and more shopping centers, educational institutions and public organizations come to the need to install such a security system.
Effective outdoor monitoring can only be organized using special equipment, which has stringent requirements both in terms of image clarity and ability to withstand all kinds of climatic, weather and mechanical influences.
Systems that do not satisfy at least one such requirement may pose a security risk in general. Since the camera is usually located in a remote place, an important factor will be its reliability, since the maintenance and repair of such equipment entails significant material costs.
No less attention should be paid to ease of installation. Outdoor surveillance usually includes a fairly large number of cameras. If installation is a complex and time-consuming task, then the cost of the system itself will be significant. The outdoor camcorder should be easy to install (which will save money and resources) and provide excellent image clarity. The device must transmit a sufficient number of frames per second and have a high resolution.
To transmit high-quality images in any conditions, infrared sensors are needed (they will provide shooting at night) and aperture control (for timely response when changing light conditions).
Higher demands are also placed on external surveillance cameras in terms of counteracting mechanical damage: they must successfully resist decontamination attempts. Some models give signals when attempting physical destruction, which is especially important in large enterprises with a large number of video cameras: it is quite difficult to react on time in such conditions, and the alarm allows you to pay attention to a specific area almost instantly.
Since outdoor monitoring is carried out under any weather conditions, some models are equipped with a lens anti-icing system, which is especially important for northern regions and severe winters.
