TOP 5 BEST VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS FOR HOME AND COTTAGE

Friends, 2 years ago we have already made for you ratings of the top 5 most popular CCTV cameras and you asked for the top 5 video surveillance systems for home and cottage. Like all our ratings this top is made not on anyone’s expert opinion and on dry statistics of sales online store ison-cctv.com, ie you will learn the rating of the 5 most popular video surveillance systems for which people voted with their money!

Before we go to the rating let’s preliminarily stipulate what is a video surveillance system for home and cottage, what should be in its composition and what characteristics and capabilities it should have.

First of all, the system should include everything necessary for video surveillance, cameras with brackets, mounts for them, cable with connectors combined with the transmission of both video and power, video recorder, power supplies and hard disk for recording.

Secondly the system must be fully adapted for independent installation, because more and more people do not want to pay tens of thousands of rubles for installation, and want to put the system themselves, in addition, in our time there are systems that are mounted on the principle of plug and play, ie, taken out of the box, plugged into the socket and it works.

Third the system should be of good quality, it should see people’s faces and license plate numbers both day and night. In this rating there are no cameras with low-quality matrixes because of which instead of faces you would see only pixels, as well as cameras with R5-y infrared diodes whose main problem is constant burnout and low life.

Fourth video surveillance system for home and cottage should have a function of remote viewing from your phone. At the same time, this function should be free, and not involve a monthly payment for the application as in many brands, also this technology should be adapted to any Internet, this will help to avoid problems with configuration.

Fifth the system should have built-in motion sensors, this will save the budget on the hard disk to which the recording is made, because the cameras will write only when there is movement. Also the sensor will allow you to receive notifications on the smartphone via the Internet, and the main point, the sensor is needed to quickly find the desired event. Imagine that you went on vacation for 3 weeks, you come back and realize that you have stolen, for example, a shovel. If your system has no motion sensors, in order to understand when and who did it you will have to review the entire 3-week archive, and if there are sensors, you will quickly see on the viewing tape that, for example, on May 27th at 13-37 on the 5.oy camera was movement on your site and you can immediately view this moment.

Sixth the system should work with both static and dynamic IP addresses and 3g/4g modems. This is often needed at sites where there is no wired internet. If your system does not support modems and dynamic addresses, then the remote viewing function will not work.

B-seventh video surveillance system for home and cottage should be adapted to the any climate, should withstand any rain or snow, lenses and lenses should not fog, cameras should work in any frost at the same time should not have old heating systems, the problem of which is high energy consumption and fire hazard when working in frost. The system should be energy-saving and safe.

Nu and eighth system should have WDR or DWDR technology to solve the problem of black faces in twilight or when the frame gets sunlight, as well as DNR technology for AHD systems that will solve the problem of noise in the night shooting, high-quality matrix that will work without glitches with any smartphone well and the system must be quality, ie must have a service life of at least 10 years in operation 24/7.

All ready-made video surveillance systems from our today’s top fit each point of this description and fundamentally differ from each other only in resolution, i.e. the quality of filming and the set of functions.

As usual, all equipment from today’s ranking will be referenced in the description.

5. In fifth place we have a digital 5-megapixel IP POE video surveillance system ISON ALFA with SONY Starvis sensors on IMX335 processors with 2.8mm lenses with motion sensors with built-in POE switches, night IR LED illumination. Alfa system cameras have built-in motion sensors that are configured for sensitivity, this will allow them to properly adjust if, for example, in the frame there is a tree that moves when the wind blows, you can also set the area of motion sensor triggering, it is convenient when, for example, in the frame gets a dog or part of the road and you do not want the sensor triggered on foreign objects.

In addition to the function of remote viewing from a smartphone ISON ALFA system also has the ability to remotely download the archive, which is very convenient because you can view what was yesterday or a week ago directly from a smartphone anywhere in the world.

Video surveillance system ISON ALFA is in all possible configurations for 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,8,10,16,20, 32 and 64 cameras respectively. Also in any configuration you can replace any number of cameras on the internal, in this system internal cameras come with a built-in microphone. For homes and cottages are most popular models from 4 to 8 cameras, depending on the layout of buildings on the site and the area of the site itself. The main principle of installing cameras on the site is as few dead zones as possible, ie, as a rule, put 4 cameras around the perimeter, a camera at the entrance, front or back yard, depending on what is more vulnerable and 1-2 cameras on the street to capture all who approach or approach the site.

We also recommend that you watch our video “video surveillance in a private home" where we detail the scheme of proper installation of video surveillance in a private home. The link will also be in the description.

4. On the fourth place wireless IP Wi-Fi video surveillance system 5 megapixel ISON AIR PRO with lenses 2.8mm with SONY sensors on IMX323 processors with WDR technology, night IR LED. As is clear from the name is a wireless system, ie between the cameras and the recorder is no wire, but it should be remembered that the Wi-Fi signal has its own limitations. Specifically this system is essentially the most powerful video surveillance in terms of Wi-Fi transmission that for the last 10 years have passed through our hands. Stably it will work at a distance of up to 90 meters in conditions without obstacles, and 1-2 walls in conditions with a private house. Also this system unlike most other wireless systems works stably in rain and storm magnets and what is very important as well as all systems from today’s top it is fully configured and connected on the principle of take out of the box, plug into a socket, ie there are no typical problems with wireless cameras when you need to dance with a tambourine near the switch.

System ISON AIR as well as ALFA has WDR technology, works with 3G/4G modems, has motion sensors with settings for sensitivity and zone of operation, has a good night IR LED illumination, remote access to the archive, support 3G/4G. ISON AIR system has all kinds of configurations for 1, 2, 3, or 4 cameras in both external and internal versions, with internal cameras have a built-in microphone.

3. In third place is a luxury video surveillance system, 8 megapixel system with motorized lens, 5x zoom, SONY sensors on IMX325 processors, 4K shooting resolution, WDR, DNR and many more interesting features, ISON GROT X video surveillance system.

This is the Rolls Royce of video surveillance systems. Distinctive features of this system are, first of all, the presence of 5-fold electronic zoom, which can be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world and of course its resolution of 8 megapixels 4K. From the resolution of your cameras depends on how clearly you will see the face of your offender and whether you can read the car number from 10,20,30 or more meters. Compared to conventional 2 megapixel cameras, this system sees more than 10 times clearer.

I think it is not necessary to add that ISON GROT X video surveillance system has similarly all the features that were in our previous participants from LED backlighting to modem support. In fact, it has everything that video surveillance systems have at the moment.

ISON GROT X system is the most powerful system from our top, but also the most expensive, not everyone can afford it, so ISON has developed 2 more budget modifications of the same system.

Video surveillance system ISON GROT have the same features and capabilities but it does not go to 8 megapixels 4K resolution as GROT X and 5 megapixels with 2K resolution and video surveillance system ISON GROT S has also 5 megapixel cameras but if the systems ISON GROT X and ISON GROT zoom 5-fold and electronic, ie it can be controlled remotely, then the system ISON GROT S zoom 4-fold and mechanical, ie zoom can only be controlled by a hexagon on the camera itself, it is called a hexagon on the camera.ie, it can be controlled remotely, the system ISON GROT S zoom 4-fold and mechanical, ie, zoom control can only occur hexagonal on the camera itself, it is the so-called variofocal lens. Completions lineup video surveillance systems ISON GROT X is traditionally on 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 16 cameras. Also, all sets are available without a hard disk and with it.

2. On the second place the most budget representative of our top 2 megapixel AHD surveillance system 2 megapixels on 2.8mm lenses with motion sensors, phone viewing Ison PRO S. Over the past 5 years we have done more than 10 different reviews of this system and its updates. This system has been among the best almost from the moment of its introduction due to good value for money. This system is also available from 1 to 32 cameras. By the way, for all systems from this top you can find detailed video reviews and recording examples on the links in the description.

1. Well, in the first place we have a system that for several years was on the second place in popularity and now naturally with the development of technology has come to the first. For many people it is the golden mean not very expensive, but at the same time of high quality as 2K recording and assembly. 5-megapixel AHD video surveillance system with SONY matrixes on IMX335 processors, motion sensors, night IR LED illumination up to 30 meters ISON GREKO PRO.

The 2.8mm lenses in the ISON GREKO PRO video surveillance system provide a wide viewing angle of 120° without any distortion and fisheye effect. Motion sensors are also adjustable in sensitivity and trigger zone. The system supports all types of any Internet, supports work with modems, has the ability to connect up to 4 microphones, has WDR technology and works down to -60 °,
