WE ARE A  GEN IV AUTHORIZED DEALER

Note: our systems do not require a Computer unless you want to view on a computer or over the Internet.

With our systems you will need a  GEN IV  DVR,  a Power Supply,   GEN IV Cameras of your Choice,  a LCD

Monitor or a TV with Composite (YELLOW) inputs,  Cables Premade or Cable By the

Roll and Connector Packs with all fittings,  a RG 59 Cable Crimper if using bulk type cable.

Installing your system is not difficult task but you have to know few very important things before you start.

The most difficult thing about the installation is running the cables from the location you want your

DVR to be located to the place you want your cameras. 

 Once the cables are in place, it is just a matter of mounting the cameras, usually

with 4 screws and pointing them where you want to see and plugging up the power wires

to the camera and twisting on the BNC video cable to the cameras.

 On the DVR end you twist on the BNC cables and plug in the power cables to the

power supply and Connect the  cable from the DVR to a TV or if you are using a monitor

 then plug  the VGA cable into the DVR and plug the DVR and Power Supply in to the 110V power. 

That’s how easy it is.

So let’s start with cameras.

You have to decide on how  many Cameras you need now,  and how many you might need in the future.

If you think you will be fine with just three for now, but maybe later you will add few more. 

Remember to get DVR that will let you expand your system in the future.  We offer 4 channel, 8,

16 channel and 32 channel DVRs.

4 cameras may be enough for small store, office or home, but for everything else you will need more than that.  Let’s

 take a convenient store as an example.  You will need one camera facing cash register, one

 at the entrance door, and this leaves you just 2 cameras left for the rest of the store.

Probably this won’t be enough.  So always count the cameras before you decide on a  DVR.

 Good practice is to leave always some empty channels on your DVR. 

 You usually will need more cameras within a short time after installing a system.

Keep this in mind when designing your system.  When you know how many cameras

you will need,  now it’s time to decide on kind and performance of each one. So we have

outdoor/indoor, day & night-vision. Our night-vision cameras will see in

darkness from 50 feet up to 250 feet depending on the camera selected and the price

 you want to pay.  Deciding if you need outdoor or indoor is easy. 

  If you have night lights around your property, you can use weather proof night vision cameras

and you will see almost like day time except the picture will not be in color when low light is all you have.

If you need more light for the camera to see, then you can instsall a IR iluminator to

turn night into day just for the camera.   (See IR iluminator near bottom of page)

 Infra red are usually used in completely dark spots. This is where you need to select the

right camera to see what you need to see in darkness.   Remember also, that LED’s

on infra red cameras light up at night time. You can easily see camera. It’s not as bright

 as a flashlight, but you can see dark red light of  led’s when you look at the camera. 

If you don’t want your cameras to be easily seen, use a small night-vision camera outside

 hidden behind the gutter down pipe.  But if you own for example car dealership, or you

want bad guys to know that you have surveillance, this is when you put a 

night-vision cameras in outdoor enclosures.  This makes then easier for anyone  thinking

about breaking into your home or business to see that you have a surveillance system.

The enclosures look like the ones you see on top of a Wal-mart store.  ( see enclosure below)

They will think twice before entering property.  The better cameras offer auto iris, back light

compensation, auto gain control, white balance are just some of the features you

can find in today’s better cameras.   Cameras can have veri-focal lens that can

 be adjusted at installation time  for close or out for a wider view on things far away.    ( see Chart Below)

 Each camera needs power supply unless you using multi-channel power distributing box.

You can make your life easy by using plug & play cables.  They is good for short runs(up to 200ft)

and are available in 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150 Ft. length.  If you need longer runs, use coaxial

RG59 with attached low voltage cable for power.  

 Manufacturers use usually a few values to describe camera. The most

important are: resolution  (380 TV lines is a standard, and  high starts from 480 TVL) 

We use a minimum of 480 TVL for our small cameras looking at a doorway and 600  to 700 TVL

as a standard for most all our systems.  Our small  close view cameras use  a 3.6 lens and the better

more expensize cameras use a verifocal 2.8 to 11 mm lens allowing you to adjust for the desired view.   

We make sure all our cameras are the highest quality. We test all cameras before we offer them

for sale to our customers.

 Now let’s focus on DVR unit.  Today nobody uses VCR’s anymore. 

Most CCTV systems are based on standalone DVRs.   DVR is a all in one video recording device,including the

 following,  multi-channel multiplexer and web server all in one unit. It records on a Special type hard drive built

for Video surveillance  systems.    It continues to record all the time even while you are viewing

past video.  All our DVR units have following features: multi channel capability  (can

support 4,8 and 16 and 32  cameras)  triplex function (record,  playback and remote access,

all can be done at the same time)  recycle function  (it overwrites oldest data with the

newest keeping always last few weeks of video). 

Remember, basic CCTV system includes:

long runs over 200 ft.

record a channel of audio for each channel of video.  

( Check regulations before recording Audio)

A VGA monitor can be attached to any of our DVRs.

Any TV with a RCA Video or HDMI input can be used also.
