But first we need to know that how we can choose a good security camera. Below are the few steps that really help you in buying a good quality CCTV Security System.

Instructions

1. Step 1
First thing that we need to understand is that how much your DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is capable of handling number of Frames Per second. 30 Frames is a real time second of video. So a recorded second or video motion that doesn't skip is 30 Frames. So if your CCTV camera system is able of handling 30fps that means you can record only one camera real time. So when looking for a good CCTV Surveillance system, make sure you get a system that does 30fps for each camera. So if you are looking for a 4 a good CCTV security camera system make sure that it is capable of 120fps DVR.

2. Step 2
TV Lines that support CCTV cameras is also a good quality measure. More the number of horizontal TV lines the camera produces, and of course the higher the clearer and better picture. 400TV Lines are recommended for average quality, 420TVL is good picture quality, 480TVL is higher quality and more is even better. So keep in mind that TV Lines is what mainly controls the price of the CCTV camera.

Another important factor is the HDD capacity of the CCTV DVR which basically means the number of previous records of video that the DVR will keep before recycling. By default most CCTV systems record video based on action which means if there is no action there is no recording because practically it will be a still image rather than video. The average is between 160GB and 250GB for a camera system and the higher the more days of recorded video (motion) your DVR system keep.
