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 surveillance—especially for outdoor

applications—a 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.

  AvertX recommends protecting your cable by running through conduits or inside a wall since the cable is not outdoor or plenum rated. AvertX cameras and cables have waterproof connectors eliminating the requirement for a sealed electrical box to protect the connection.
