Introduction to the CCTV and video surveillance cameras
The CCTV systems of live viewing or recording intended for a small group of people are (unlike televisions designed for wide public) with a system of this kind can control your business or housing at all times from the place itself or from the Internet. Video surveillance, as its name suggests is a system to control cameras with or without recording a particular place. So both terms are different, but sometimes they are used as synonyms.

There are two types of cameras mainly to watch or record a specific installation, analogue cameras and IP cameras. The fundamental difference is that an IP camera features if it all the functionality, has its own web page that access to configure or view. On the other hand analog cameras require a device to visualize them as a multiplexer, a recorder or a simple screen, as advantage to be more simple are cheaper and long lasting, its reliability is greater. Regarding its design, we have foreign cameras, domes, miniaturized and even concealed cameras. Each doing a different function in video surveillance.

CCTV recorders
Recorders or DVRS are another key part of video surveillance systems, manage the image you receive cameras and recorded onto a hard drive continuously, erasing the last recordings as it fills. Currently these devices have large amount of functionalities that are described below:
- Recording of images: function main, allow to record and retrieve images from the memory.
- Connection to an external monitor: have one or more outputs for monitors (VGA, HDMI, SCART…) depending on the model.
- Remote access via the Internet: many times it is really important to be able to access an installation of CCTV from outside, so the DVR functionality is accessed from a mobile device or any computer. Logically with a username and password.
- Multiplexer of images: the modern DVR allows several options, see a unique camera, change, divide the screen into several… so much for live video surveillance and recording.
- PTZ: From whether we enter from a remote location by a web browser as from a local display, they allow us to move, zoom, or focus on our CCTV cameras.
