Quads And Multiplexers Are For Beginning CCTV Systems
If you are looking to implement security cameras into your small business or home. Depending on what you are trying to do.
If you are only looking to view, then you should consider a quad processor or video multiplexer. Quad processors are used to
split just 4 security cameras up onto one screen at one time. Quads also have the ability to rotate between each camera too. Quads
are plug and play devices that hook into either a T.V. or V.C.R to attempt to record or display video. Multiplexers work in the
same fashion. They have more advanced features like freezing frames and the ability to display real-time recording over multiple
security cameras. Retail stores are the main buyers of these devices. Sometimes their stores are so small, that they do not want
to record, they just want to display all the cameras for customers to see or they use it to watch their own counters from a back
room. Residential applications also might want to consider a quad, especially when the budget is a main concern. Quads are
great because you can input the signal into a T.V. or time-lasp V.C.R. to attempt to record certain events. However, either
quad or multiplexer is a great way to begin setting up a closed circuit television system.
Time Lapse VCRs With Motion Detection
Another great option for virtually any beginning or advanced setup is our time lapse V.C.Rs. We have three different models,
which each have a different option, primarily geared for a budget. If you think purchasing a PC based or even a standalone
dvr is too expensive, then consider a time lapse VCR. Time lapse V.C.Rs have the ability to slow down their taps to record
the maximum amount of video. It is great, because you can hook this setup to your T.V. and input your security cameras
and you have a small closed circuit television feed. We have one model that has the ability to detect motion from the security
cameras and start recording. In the art of CCTV, this is an incredible feat. There are not too many stores that sell something
like this, but it will extend record time for two month. Setting the V.C.R. to motion detection will allow you not only to save
on tape time, but it will be easier to review the data, because only a set of events were ever recorded. With the right video
processor above, you can setup a a quad or multiplexer to your T.V. and have the V.C.R. record from all your cameras at
once. The most we recommend for any V.C.R., T.V., and Quad setup is four security cameras. You will find that small retail
stores, small business offices, and small residential homes will benefit from this initial, because it is a very inexpensive
way to get started.
