Cameras are available in two main sub-types – indoor and outdoor, mainly. One must understand where the camera needs to be installed before get into either of the categories. There are a few points one needs to know before selecting the cameras, which are as follows:

FIELD OF VIEW: Field of view is the width that the camera can record. It will affect how many cameras one may need and at which points.

SOUND: The camera with sound features have a microphone which helps receiving sound or emitting sound via a speaker. These cameras can be used as intercoms.

RESOLUTION: Resolution helps define the clarity of the image. It shows how clearly visible and helpful the camera can be in trying to identify faces.

MOTION DETECTION: Cameras with in-built motion detection can help activate a camera only on detection of movement, and thereby send notification alerts of suspicious activity.

NIGHT VISION: The effectiveness of a camera is also determined on the performance of the camera under no light conditions or low-light conditions. The reason is most crimes occur under such an environment.

WI-FI CAPABILITY: In the modern age of instant results, people also want cameras that can deliver immediately. This makes way for the importance of Wi-Fi capable cameras that give live coverage over the internet. Hence the user can be seated anywhere and can survey any site that they may intend to. This is best suited for people who have several offices, homes or factories to constantly keep a tab on.

MOVEMENT: A camera with pan and/or tilt may be able to record a larger area than any static camera. This in turn helps reduce the number of cameras required to monitor a particular location.

COST: A camera should be a wise choice, and every wise choice needs to have value-for-money. A camera should not be so expensive that one may not be able to afford the valuables anymore. Cost is a very important decision in any purchase made.
