Things to Consider Before Purchasing a Video Surveillance System
Wired or Wireless?
Wireless camera systems are not truly wireless. A wireless camera must have a reliable power source to
provide video 24/7. The requirement for a power source to a wireless camera greatly diminishes the
benefits of having a wireless system. AvertX IP cameras obtain power from the NVR and send video over
a single Ethernet cable up to 300 feet. Running Ethernet cable to a camera location is usually much
easier than adding a new power outlet. In addition, the wireless system may encounter signal
interference, have lower resolution and speed and have less flexibility in terms of control over the video.
Reliable performance may be difficult to achieve with a wireless system. To achieve the absolute best
overall performance, reliability, longevity and flexibility for video surveillanceespecially for outdoor
applicationsa good quality wired IP system is the best answer.
6 reasons to choose an IP system
There are many reasons for investing in an IP system over an analog system. Here are the top 6:
1. Digital format allows for much more control and flexibility for video capture, recording,
playback, and transmission of the video over the internet and to tablets and mobile phones.
2. High Resolution for crisp video, image control and digital zoom
3. Easy to install with single cable for both power and video
4. Camera Intelligence such as zoned motion sensing and privacy masking
5. Can be updated with easy-to-apply software upgrades, extending the life of your investment.
6. Cutting edge technology
The challenge of installing a video surveillance system!
We understand that a professional grade system from AvertX is a significant investment so thinking
through a plan to accomplish your objectives will result in the best outcome. We recommend the
following minimum precautions to help make the installation a successful experience:
Start with a plan to include the location of the NVR, location of the cameras and type of
cameras.
Have the necessary tools to run wire from the NVR to the cameras and to mount the cameras.
For safety reasons, especially if climbing ladders, AvertX recommends a minimum of two people
working together to install a system.
If needed, you may want to consider hiring a qualified installer or certified electrician to run the
wire and install the cameras in accordance with your plan.
