A critical aspect of owning a professional security system is staying informed with what’s happening underneath your cameras at all times. A continuous live-stream of your cameras is made available to you and can be viewed using SmartPSS and IPTecno Pegaso. But what happens when you’re too busy to monitor the stream and see for […]
Understanding Camera Lenses For photographers, videographers and filmmakers, understanding how lenses work will offer you more control when exploring your craft. When choosing the right lens, it is important to remember what you may lose or gain with lens speed, weight, size, focal length, cost and image quality. It’s the intention of this guide to […]
Two-way audio security cameras are becoming increasingly popular for home consumers and businesses. Most surveillance cameras with audio from online-retailers and big-name brands do not live up to expectations due to poor audio quality. Built-in microphones and speakers can be cheaply made, and produce hard to hear and low quality sound that can hardly be […]
There are many factors that determine if someone will choose to purchase an IP camera system or DVR camera system. The main factor though would be whether there is any existing cabling in place that can be reused to avoid the cost of running new cable. There are two main types of cables used in […]
What are IP security camera systems? IP camera systems comprise of one or more IP cameras that are connected over a computer network to a Network Video Recorder (NVR) or Digital Video Recorder (DVR). The IP camera sends video and other data in digital format over a network cable to the NVR. The NVR records […]
Network security cameras are ubiquitous and sought after for any security camera system. If you have an existing camera system and have recently upgraded the DVR recorder by purchasing one from CCTV Camera World then you’re in luck. All of our DVRs support IP cameras and PoE cameras that we offer. Since DVRs only have […]
DVR recorders these days support traditional analog CCTV cameras, new HD security cameras over coax called HDCVI cameras, and network based IP cameras. Security DVRs can vary in the variety of signal types they support, and can be called Tribrid DVRs or XVRs. These recorders sense camera signal automatically between HDCVI and analog security cameras […]
To say that the invention of the VCR (Video Cassette Recorder) caused a lot of excitement would be an understatement. Up until that point, the only way to see a movie or television show was to either catch the TV broadcast or go to a movie theater. When the VCR came out, people could finally […]
There are thousands of different camera models available on the market today, and they are all different. Paring down this glut of options to the one that’s right for you can be challenging, and it gets even more confusing when you take into consideration the fact that there is no single “best” camera – different […]
“Night vision” is a pretty straightforward term – it is simply the ability to see in the dark, or in low-light conditions. We take it for granted in this day in age where almost every security camera has night vision. Generally, at least compared with many other animals, humans have poor biological night vision, which […]
Animal behavior has been an unending source of curiosity for ethologists and scientists for decades. Studies in animal behavior range from feeding interactions and mating to social organization and habitat selection. By far the most effective method of gathering information on animal behavior has been surveillance cameras. These camera systems are excellent for observational purposes […]
Power over Ethernet or PoE for short can be a new and potentially confusing term to a lot of people searching for security cameras. PoE connectivity simplifies cabling needed to connect a device by allowing power and data delivery over a single network cable such as CAT5e or CAT6. It makes it easy to connect […]
Bird watching is a time-honored tradition that many people enjoy today. Don’t worry, you don’t need any special equipment to go bird watching, and you certainly don’t need to travel to exotic locations.

We’re often asked how to modify an IP camera’s video settings once you already have it up and running on your NVR. This process can be difficult without any knowledge of computer networking or setting up a standalone IP camera. In this article we explain the technical details of taking a camera from the back […]
Security cameras are usually used to record video, but in some scenarios, you can leverage the combined power of our cameras and recorders to record snapshots at specified intervals. As discussed in this guide, our IP surveillance cameras with an available microSD slot allow for snapshot capture and storage on the internal microSD memory card. […]
When purchasing a high resolution security camera system it is important to have realistic expectations of what to expect. While everyone wants the latest cameras with the highest resolution sensor for the best clarity, they usually forget to take in to account the data storage implications that come with high definition cameras. In this video […]
Underwater photography is both an educational tool and an exciting hobby. Capturing photographs of sea life gives us a glimpse of a world we don’t often get to see. It also helps scientists study these organisms and how they live in their watery environment. The equipment needed to take pictures in the water can vary […]
CCTV Camera World’s NVR systems allow for the use of some 3rd party IP cameras to record and detect motion. This is highly dependable on the manufacturer of the IP camera, and the firmware that is currently installed on the camera. Compatibility falls under the ONVIF protocol that does not guarantee that a camera from […]
