The quality of the picture received from the camera directly depends on the light-sensitive sensor, that is, on the video surveillance matrix. You can put a processor of the latest model and buy professional equipment for shooting, but if the matrix does not cope with the task, the image will not get better.
The CCTV camera matrix is the main element of the entire monitoring system. It is an integrated circuit of photodiodes and performs one task: to form the image on which the lens is focused.
Today there are two options for matrices:
The analog matrix is considered to be more light-sensitive and reproduces the image’s color better. At the same time, the digital type consumes less power, is cheaper, and has a wide dynamic range.
But now on the market, in 99% of cases, cameras have a CMOS matrix, and CCDs can only be found in old analog devices.
When choosing a device, it is not necessary to immediately buy CCTV cameras with a Sony matrix. It is worth taking a closer look at five important parameters that you need to consider before buying:
To avoid getting bogged down in endless variations of a matrix, you can go the other way. Consider Faceter’s smart video surveillance service:
You need either an IP camera or a regular phone for the service to turn into a full-fledged surveillance system. The connection is made via a mobile application.
Faceter is suitable for both home and business.
When choosing a matrix in a store, in 99% of cases, you will find CMOS. You can search for a photosensitive sensor by the manufacturer (for example, Sony) or the required technical characteristics.
But if you are looking for a simpler and more versatile tool, then the Faceter surveillance service is suitable. The system works automatically and comprehensively.
