Outdoor Cctv
what is the best cctv outdoor surveillance camera in the market?
Hello
It depends on what market you need it for I will give you the best cameras in each market.
Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of CCTV you can find the equivalent of a $2,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels but that's where the similarities end, it’s under the hood that counts.
Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $100.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it which simply means it’s not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 2% which means they can’t afford to offer good service or allow for RMAs (returns). Cheap products are like disposable razors they are NOT designed to last for a long time and you will end up replacing them every 2 months.

Infrared Bullet Camera

A good outdoor Camera will have
High resolution (520TVL or higher)
Good singnal to noise ratio (S/N 49DB or 50DB)
A true Sony CCD (not Chinese knockoff)
Rugged enclosure to handle vandals and environments
At least IP 66 and a suitable temperature rating for you region
IR LED's to see in pitch dark: active IR rating not projected IR as projected IR has no coloration with how far the camera can see.
A Varifocal lens with a good aperture a good examples are 5-50mm or 2.9~10mm a fixed lens almost never works when installing a camera outdoors. Again to ensure you are getting a good lens and optics stick no name brands and avoid online retailers, eBay, Swann Lorex, Costco and Q see and other cheap no name products.
Also if you are buying good cameras buy an equally good DVR or you will not get the performance out of its like a PC if you buy a $700 processor and a 60$ MB you would be better off to get a $200 MB and a $300 processor a CCTV system needs good optics, imaging equipment and recording device to work properly.
Hope this Helps,
