TOP 5 VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS FOR THE STORE

Friends, for you we have already ranked top 5 video surveillance systems for home and cottage and top 5 popular CCTV cameras and you asked to continue this ranking and make the top 5 popular video surveillance systems for the store.

To begin with, let’s stipulate what we mean by a video surveillance system for the store – it is a complete set of all the equipment necessary to organize a video surveillance system at such an object as a store with an allowance for those conditions that are typical for stores, namely, special attention to the cash register, possible theft by both visitors and staff, as well as possible break-ins of the store at night in some cases, and so on.

Before we move on to the rating let’s talk in more detail about what tasks a video surveillance system for a store should perform.

Firstly such a system should be of good quality filming there should be no ripples, missing frames or broken pixels characteristic of cameras with problematic matrices. Cameras in such a system should clearly record all offenses, theft of both visitors and staff and in addition to fixing the process of theft cameras should clearly see the faces of offenders, because we remember that it is not enough to fix the theft itself, you also need to prove the guilt of the person in court, and to do this if you zoom in on the face of the offender all in pixels or ripples will not be easy.

There are no cameras with problematic sensors, low resolution and poor picture in this rating.

Secondly video surveillance system for the store itself should include a complete set of everything necessary for video surveillance, cameras, cable with connectors, video recorder, power supplies, hard disk, software and so on, ie should not be a situation that after installing the system turned out that something will not work because of the lack of some components.

Thirdly such a system should assume good clarity when working at the cash desk and in case of a conflict situation when viewing the recording it should be clearly visible what bills are in the hands of the cashier.

Also note that often in such a task as video surveillance in the store requires sound recording and in our today’s rating will be systems with built-in microphones and systems with the ability to connect remote microphones.

Fourth video surveillance system for the store should have free software adapted to work on any personal computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone, because often the owners of the store want to be able to control their object from the phone and from a personal computer. Also in this point, I will note that the registrar should support work with both static and dynamic IP addresses, because often providers providing Internet for the store allocate only dynamic IP addresses, which means that in this case the remote viewing function on the usual registrar will not work.

Fifth the video surveillance system for the store should have built-in motion sensors, IR LED illumination, WDR, DNR, POE and so on. In a good brand all these technologies will be in the base, ie for them separately do not need to pay extra and the presence of these technologies should pay attention to the presence of these technologies.

Motion sensors will save on the purchase of hard drive, IR LED illumination is more reliable, modern and durable option and will avoid the situation when a year after the installation of your video surveillance system you could not recognize the face of the night thief, because your IR illumination sagged by 50 percent or more.

WDR is a technology that improves the quality of photos taken in poor or inappropriate lighting conditions or when a shadow falls on a person’s face, for example.

Well, POE technology is a technology of power transmission over a single cable, as is clear from the name to connect the camera in such a system is possible with a single cable without additional devices.

Additionally, I note that in the organization of video surveillance system for the store as a rule used dome internal cameras, ie round in the form of a dome, a separate camera at the cash register, also often additionally requires a camera on the outer perimeter of the building in the case of freestanding stores to record the process of breaking and car number of offenders.

All ready-made video surveillance systems from today’s top fit each of the above points and fundamentally differ from each other only in the quality of filming and the set of functions. By tradition, links to all models from our top will be in the description to this video.

5) On the fifth place 5-megapixel AHD video surveillance system ISON GREKO PRO with SONY matrixes, on the processor IMX335, motion sensors, night IR LED illumination. Popular system in the category of AHD systems with the ability to connect remote microphone and shooting resolution of 2K. This system comes with cameras based on the matrix company SONY. Matrix is what is inside the cameras and that from what 90% depends on the quality of filming these cameras as well as their reliability and durability. The distinctive feature of the matrices in ISON GREKO cameras as well as in other participants of this top is that the matrices are SONY original, i.e. produced by SONY. And not cheaper copies of which there are so many on the market and CIS that original matrices are already in the minority.

Greko Pro system configurations are available for 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,10,20 and 32 cameras.

Additionally, I note that this system can choose the desired number of internal cameras, ie, for example, you need a system of 10 cameras, of which 8 will be internal, and 2 outdoor for this on the site in the product card under the buy button can choose to replace 8 cameras on the internal.

Similarly to all video surveillance systems from our top it is possible to add cables or for example choose a replacement recorder under the expansion.

4.In fourth place is the ISON AIR PRO MAX 5 megapixel wireless IP video surveillance system with 2.8mm lenses with WDR technology, night IR LED illumination.

This system does not need wires between the cameras and the recorder, but it should be remembered that such a system is suitable only for small stores, because any wi-fi signal has its limitations. Specifically, this model works with transmission at a distance of up to 90 meters maximum in conditions without obstacles. I also note that kits with internal cameras in this video surveillance system are equipped with built-in microphones of sufficiently high quality.

ISON AIR wireless systems are available in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 or 8 camera configurations.

3.On the third place we have the most budget-friendly to present today’s top 2 megapixel AHD video surveillance system ISON PRO S. Despite the rather modest characteristics of 2 megapixel AHD this system for the last 5 years remains in the top five most popular video surveillance systems in the category for small stores. There are a total of 51 modifications of video surveillance systems ISON PRO S with a different number of cameras. In the category of video surveillance for the store the most popular modifications with the index K, ie in the dome version. I would also note that the system ISON PRO S is based on powerful DVR04 and 08P recorders that support cameras up to 5 megapixels, ie if you installed such a system and provided for expansion, in the future you will be able to connect to it cameras to 5 megapixels.

2.In second place IP POE video surveillance system 3 megapixels with SONY sensors, 2.8mm lenses, motion sensors, LED backlight ISON MOL.

In addition to a large set of functions ISON MOL system is distinguished by the fact that in each camera here is built in a good microphone with noise reduction system, which unlike many competitors amplifies the frequency range of the human voice from 400 to 1000 hertz providing the clearest possible audio recordings. Also the system ISON MOL versatile enough due to the fact that the cameras can be installed both indoors and outdoors, they can withstand temperatures down to -60 degrees, will withstand any rain or snow due to the protection class IP66 and also have a vandal-resistant housing and at will to this system can be additionally connected to any IP camera ISON up to 5 megapixels, which is very convenient in situations where, for example, the store is adjacent to a large parking lot and you need to add to the system for example a pair of 5 megapixel rotary cameras with 22x zoom to it. Or for example, when the store has a long shelving unit and you need a camera with 5x optical zoom from the ISON IP50SAF-CW series. System ISON MOL is available in sets of 1,2,3,4,5,5,6,8,8,10,20,32 and 64 cameras. By the way, this system as well as all the previous participants of our top has a function to send notifications about the operation of the motion sensor on a smartphone and that is no less important that this function is completely free. That is, if a thief gets into your store at night you will receive a notification on your smartphone.

This feature will save you money on alarm system installation plus thanks to the function of setting the motion sensor trigger zone you will be able to receive such notifications even before the intruder enters the store, i.e. hang a camera at the entrance, set the trigger zone on the approach to the store and receive notifications as soon as someone at night comes to the doors and starts to do something with them. The ISON MOL system can also be connected to an uninterruptible power supply, which means that you can receive such notifications even if intruders completely de-energize your store by cutting the wires. A couple of years ago, this system was at the top of the list in the store video surveillance category until its bigger 5 megapixel sibling came along.

1.Well and in the first place the big brother 5 megapixel IP POE video surveillance system ISON MOL PRO is the same version of the system ISON MOL only more powerful and more modern on all counts.

If ISON MOL is 2 megapixels with FULL HD resolution, ISON MOL PRO is already 5 megapixels with 2K resolution! 1 megapixel is one million pixels, i.e. one million dots in the picture when shooting, in 5 megapixel cameras there are 3 million more such dots, i.e. they see clearer more than 2 times compared to 2 megapixel cameras.

The remaining set of functions and features remote viewing from a smartphone, customizable motion sensors, LED backlighting, built-in microphones with noise reduction, SONY sensors, WDR technology, expansion options and so on and so forth ISON MOL PRO system is absolutely identical to the ISON MOL system.

Night LED illumination provides a clearer picture at night, as well as more durable operation of the diodes themselves compared to similar cameras based on R-5yh IR Diodes. And WDR system provides a clearer picture in poor or wrong lighting conditions, and WDR technology in this system belongs to the class REAL WDR, ie the original technology Wide Dynamic Range and not a copy of which now on the Internet a lot of complaints that it either does not work or blurs the picture.

The 2.8mm lenses in the ISON MOL PRO System as well as in the ISON MOL and Greko systems give a wide viewing angle of 120° without fisheye effect or any edge distortion.
