THE BUYING GUIDE
HDCVI cameras are an option for video systems built around coaxial cabling and compatible recorders. Before changing a camera, check the recorder input formats and supported resolution as well as the cable condition and power arrangement. A connector that fits is not enough to establish that a camera and recorder support the same video mode.
Describe the job, the installation environment and the equipment already on site. Compare the exact model specifications before choosing; a collection name alone does not establish compatibility or included features.
