1. Less initial cost
2. Average quality
3. Phone App crashing normal
4. Night vision quality not good— NOT recommended

(B) HD/TVI cameras

1. Just few more $$ adds up to initial cost
2. Better Quality
3. Good Phone Application.
4. Good Night vision
5. Not recommended for residential as recommended wire is hard to run in confine spaces , moreover wire is not flexible and wire life is short.

(C) IP cameras

1. Initial cost more but more saving over time.
2. Best quality.
3. Best Phone Application
4. Best Night Vision
5. Recommended use for both residential and commercial use

Reliable license plate recognition (LPR) has traditionally been costly and only relevant for a limited number of applications.

The rapid development of IP cameras now allows for wider use of automatic LPR solutions. Depending on your needs, they can help to increase everyday efficiency, service levels or security

Wide range of applications

Automatic LPR is a valuable solution for multiple applications, including:

• Parking management where it facilitates – or even automates – payment, entry and exit
• Toll roads, to enable free-flow through toll plazas
• Airport traffic management, to ensure that only authorized vehicles can access the taxi / public transport lanes
• Access control, where the gate is only opened for authorized vehicles and all visiting vehicles automatically are registered
• Vehicle alerts, where the solution provides an automatic alert when any of the vehicles on a watch list passes by

ow, a new generation of tech firms has made it possible for private citizens to use the devices, known as automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs—without the strict oversight that governs this type of data collection by law enforcement.

Monitor suspicious activity with simple database searches that reveal the full history of any vehicle that drove past a camera on your property.

6. More susceptible to power outages

Finding the right balance between video quality and network bandwidth and storage capacity can be one of the biggest challenges of using IP cameras.

Bandwidth :

Bandwidth is  the amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second(bps) or bytes per second.

Storage capacity :

A video image captured by an HD IP camera is roughly four times the size of an image captured by an analog camera. That means it requires four times the bandwidth and storage capacity

Maximum storage capacity of NVR and DVR varies acoording to model and size.

Bit rate

Bit rate is closer to bandwidth, but it is often per host, or source to destination devices.

Setting high frame rates and bit rates on your cameras can give you clear video, but it can also quickly eat up storage space and even clog your network.

Setting rates too low could result in poor quality video but you will get more storage space.

Network setup

With proper network and video settings can resolve all the issues and helps to provide high resolution picture with enough storage space , without overloading the network.

Ordinary Cat 6 cable is not designed for outdoor use. Extreme temperatures and humidity shorten the useful lifetime of such an outdoor network.

With its thin plastic casing, ordinary Ethernet cabling deteriorates quickly when exposed to the elements. For best results, when using ordinary Cat 6 Ethernet cables outdoors, place the cables in a conduit such as PVC or other plastic pipe installed with waterproofing. Then, bury the conduit under the ground at a depth of about 6 to 8 inches and at least that far away from power lines or other sources of electrical interference.

Even with a conduit, it’s better to use a weatherproofed Ethernet cable designed for outdoor use. Conduits can fail in extreme weather such as heavy rainstorms or subfreezing cold.

Using Direct Burial Exterior Ethernet Cables

Use exterior waterproof direct burial Cat 6 cables (VIVO’s is one example) for outdoor runs rather than ordinary Cat 6. Direct burial Cat 6 cables cost more but are designed for outdoor use. The protective jacket is made of either PVC on the cheaper end or linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) on the more expensive and protective end. In addition to being sealed against moisture, they often have shielding against radio frequency (RF) interference.

Laying down a conduit

While simply burying a cable can be a workable solution, it’s often better if you also use a conduit for your cable run. While laying down a conduit properly does mean you can avoid the added cost of needing direct burial cabling, it’s always best to use such cabling instead of the cheaper and less durable indoor Cat 5e cabling because conduits can fail under harsh environmental conditions like heavy rainstorms.

In addition to providing extra protection for your cabling, the other basic advantage of a conduit is that you can easily run more cables if you need to. If you need to pull an additional network cable through a conduit that already has other cables in it, the simplest way is usually to attach and use a string to pull the new cable — provided, of course, that you can get the string through the conduit. Of course, it would make sense to leave a string in the conduit when you bury it in the ground.

Advice is always best when you consider it before you get started. So what if you’ve already buried your conduit and pulled a cable through it, and you need to pull another cable through your conduit and you didn’t leave a string in the conduit? One tip I’ve heard from some of my geeky colleagues is to try attaching a vacuum cleaner hose to the far end of the conduit and suck the string through. because the conduit is open at the end and much of the suction is lost. This issue can be solved by adding a small bit of plastic bag to the string with a tight knot. The amount of plastic needed may depend on the size of the conduit, how much free space there is, and so on. This seals up the end of the conduit, allowing the suction to be applied to the plastic bag and connected string and pulling it through much more easily.”

Alternatively, you can avoid the “how to pull” problem entirely by running some extra unused cabling when you install the conduit. After all, if you’re going to all the trouble of digging up a trench and installing a conduit, adding a few more cables into the conduit is probably going to mean only an incremental increase to the overall cost of your outdoor cabling project.

Fence-mounted sensors detect and locate intruders at the fence line, before they get inside a property.

Let’s build a legal security barrier that shocks anybody that touches it, and will trigger an alarm if cut, climbed, shorted, torn down or tampered with. As a bonus, it will also notify us if the voltage falls below a certain threshold.

What is remote alarm notification and why do I need it? 

This is a common question, and one that’s easily answered. Remote alarm notification software allows a plant’s functions and alarms to be reported, controlled, managed and addressed from remote locations not directly connected to a control console or human-machine interface (HMI).

Alarms are programmed to trigger during specific incidents, such as threshold alarms for temperature and pressure sensors; they can also send notification of damage or danger to equipment or personnel within an area that isn’t monitored by a live operator. These alarms can be delivered through various channels, and must be reported in a way that’s easily accessed, understood and responded to quickly.

How will remote alarm notification integrate with my HMI or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system?

These systems will be able to recognize any issue and communicate with a complex intelligent decision matrix, which will quickly assess and deliver information to the correct first responder. Most major notification software can integrate with major platforms with little or no modification to existing systems, allowing plant functions to resume quickly with enhanced operator control and minimal downtime.

Mobile Notification: Control Wherever You Go

By delivering remote alarm notification to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, operators can leave their control consoles without worrying about missing or miscommunicating alerts.

For plants with reduced onsite personnel, mobile notification makes it possible to monitor large areas or optimized systems with as few operators as possible. In the modern age, it’s nearly impossible to find an operator who doesn’t have a smartphone or other mobile device.

Plants requiring remote oversight of office spaces have the option for desktop and email alarms, and to have responses sent via text, email or voice. A flexible remote alarm notification system will tailor alarm delivery to the specific facility to allow plant functions to continue without interruption.

In cases where monitoring must be performed around the clock, mobile notification allows intelligent and prioritized delivery to operators at home on smartphone apps, text messages or calls. If calls are not properly responded to, the alarms can be escalated to landlines and branch out to other personnel until the correct operator can be reached.

It’s now a safe and efficient way to assess and respond to alarms; organize notification; and secure data, equipment and personal safety.
