TYPES OF RESOLUTION: IT CAN GET CONFUSING Resolutions (1080p, 3MP, 4K) are inconsistently named after different image attributes: • Width • Height • Total number of pixels (rounded to Megapixels)
HOW RESOLUTIONS WERE NAMED WIDTH
4K
= 960 pixels wide x 480 pixels high. Older res but 960H Swann still sells a few 960H items.
HIGH DEFINITION STARTS FROM THIS POINT ON:
3840 x 2160
HEIGHT
720p | 1MP = 1280 wide by 720 high. [High Definition]
HEIGHT
1080p | 2MP = 1920 wide by 1080 high. [Full High Definition]. Blu-Ray quality
PIXELS
3MP = 2048 x 1536 = 3,145,728 pixels. Rounded to 3MP [Super HD]. 52% more pixels than 1080p (Full HD)
4MP
2548 x 1440
3MP
2048 x 1536
1080P 1920 x 1080
720P
PIXELS

960H 960 x 480
WIDTH
SWANN SECURITY CAMPUS
MP = 2560 x 1440 = 3,686,400 pixels. Rounded to 4MP. 4 [Super HD] as well 81% more pixels than 1080p (Full HD) & 4 x > 720p K | 8MP = rounding of the 3840 width. Height is 2160 4 [Ultra HD | UHD] 4x more pixels than 1080p (Full HD). Available in 2017
Page 16
SECURITY BASICS - BEGINNER MODULE 1
WHY CHOOSE HD (720P & 1080P)? To enjoy the sort of image quality you are used to seeing on your flat screen TV with 1080p HD resolution on live & recorded video See license plates, facial detail, wider angles, sharper image quality & more
Why go Super HD (3MP and higher)? If 720p and 1080p are already HD, why would I want Super HD (3MP, 4MP)?

Faces
Licence Plates
Clothing Colours
The higher the resolution, the more you can zoom in into identifiable details with the DVR / NVR menu system While 720p is HD and 1080p is Full HD, in the case of 3MP & 4MP, both are called Super HD, while 4K is Ultra HD
SWANN SECURITY CAMPUS

SECURITY BASICS - BEGINNER MODULE 1
WHY CHOOSE A WIRED SYSTEM OVER WIRELESS?
Wired Security Kit
1. Better if you own your home 2. Permanent solution, must run cables from cameras to DVR/NVR. Installation can be more labour-intense 3. More reliable recording and viewing due to physical connection between cameras and recorder 4. Better suited to multiple streams & therefore large premises
SWANN SECURITY CAMPUS
Wireless Solution
1. Good solution for apartments or temporary install 2. Easier to install in hard-to-reach or detached locations, such as a shed 3. Only power cable, as image transmission is wireless 4. Limitation to 4 cameras or less 5. Distance limitation due to wireless signal 6. Some record to SD card like a digital camera 7. Easy to set up in less than 30 minutes

DVRS VS NVRS Key differences: DVR vs NVR
DVR
NVR
Use less common coaxial cable
vs
Use Ethernet cables, which are easier to find
Max coaxial cable length: 200m
vs
Max Ethernet cable length: 100m
Coaxial cable: fatter, use BNC connectors (larger, harder to thread, take longer to install)
vs
Cameras are analogue & images processed by DVR
SWANN SECURITY CAMPUS
easier to run and install Power over Ethernet (PoE): power from NVR. No need
Each camera needs power source (via splitter): messier, uses more power
Ethernet cable is slimmer, smaller RJ59 connectors,
vs vs
for power splitters or wall sockets for cams Cameras are digital and processed in cameras, hence the higher camera price

QUESTIONS YOU CAN ASK YOUR CUSTOMER 1) What do you need security for? Surveillance/Capture evidence – recommend NVR (3MP or 4MP), especially because you can zoom in into finer identifiable details Observation (like watching pets) – recommend 720p as entry level with option to upgrade to a NVR system Upgrade Security – recommend 720p for seamless install using existing cables. Option to upgrade to a NVR system (new cables required) 2) Do you have a preference for wired or wireless CCTV? Wireless - Digital wireless or 1080p WiFi – Advise, Wireless security restricts you to FOUR channel security systems only Wired - Find out how many cameras they need. Think of places thieves would use to gain access to property. 3) How many cameras do you think you’ll need? More than four – choice of 8 channel systems Less than four – choice of 4 channel systems 4) Does your place have network wall sockets? YES – Recommend NVR, that uses Ethernet cables. 5) Do you already have a CCTV system or infrastructure? YES – If it is a DVR system the customer will already have the coaxial cabling infrastructure in place and may be looking to upgrade to a higher resolution such as upgrading from 960H to HD (720p or 1080p) or even to Super HD (4MP). In this case NVRs are not suited as NVRs use Ethernet cables and your client would have to replace all the existing DVR coaxial cabling infrastructure. NO – Then you’re open to recommend DVR or NVR according to their budget. 6) Do you have a budget in mind? YES – Offer an entry level system in DVR & NVR range NO – Offer a higher end security in DVR & NVR range
