Analog Camera

Recommendations for buyers

• ✓
  Check DVR Resolution Support

  Never buy a camera with a higher resolution than your DVR can handle. If you have a 1080p DVR, a 5MP camera will likely not display an image unless the camera can be downgraded via OSD menu.
• ✓
  Sensor Type Matters

  Prioritize cameras with Sony CMOS sensors over generic ones. They offer significantly better dynamic range and low-light performance, which is critical for security footage clarity.
• ✓
  Cable Type and Distance

  Analog cameras use coaxial cables (RG59). Ensure you purchase high-quality copper cabling if your run exceeds 30 meters to prevent signal degradation and video loss.
• ✓
  Housing Material

  For outdoor installation, avoid plastic casings which can degrade under UV exposure. Aluminum alloy or metal casings provide better heat dissipation and vandal resistance.
