Frequently asked questions

Start with the location, lighting, viewing distance, required detail, lens angle, recording platform, and available power or network connection. For a faster recommendation, send us the camera location and the model of any recorder or switch you already own.

Compatibility can depend on the exact camera and recorder models, firmware, supported protocol, codec, resolution, and whether advanced features must work. Send both model numbers before ordering and we will help you check the important requirements.

IP cameras send digital video over an Ethernet network and commonly use PoE for power. Coax cameras send video over coaxial cable to a compatible DVR and usually use separate power. The best choice depends on the cabling and recorder already installed.

Not always. Some NVRs have built-in PoE ports. A separate PoE switch may be useful when cameras are distributed around a property, when longer uplinks are needed, or when the recorder does not provide enough ports or power budget.

Storage depends on camera count, resolution, frame rate, bitrate, video codec, recording schedule, scene activity, and retention days. Provide those details and we can help you estimate a practical storage target.
