5) So, in the fifth place we have a 5-megapixel outdoor AHD camera with a motorized lens ISON AHD50SAF based on SONY IMX 325 sensor.
In 2 words, a motorized lens is a lens that allows you to zoom 5 times, and you can do it through the recorder and from a smartphone, tablet or computer anywhere in the world. The camera matrix and the brand producing it is 95% of the quality of the camera and how it will show. By the way, SONY matrixes are the best of all that is on the market in Russia, while they are quite budget, the only thing to clarify that in the cameras that you buy were the original matrixes, not replicas made in China, which in the market, unfortunately, are now very much.

This camera has a built-in motion sensor, which can be adjusted in sensitivity and which allows you to set the area of the sensor, it is especially convenient in cases where the frame gets a road or a dog, for example, and you do not want these objects to affect the work of the sensor. Also the sensor allows you to receive notifications of the sensor on your smartphone and saves space on your hard disk, ie saves the budget for its purchase. Also the camera has WDR technology that improves picture quality in low light conditions and also when the sun hits the camera and the backlight is formed and DNR technology that removes noise in the night shooting.Note that without these 2 functions we do not recommend buying cameras at all, because without them at night and twilight your cameras will be useless. In a normal brand these functions are in the base and you do not need to pay anything extra for them.
The camera has an adjustable viewing angle of up to 120 °, temperature mode up to -60 °, vandal-resistant housing, night modern LED illumination up to 40 meters, built-in autofocus, anti-fog function DEFOG, waterproof class IP66, 2K resolution 2592*1944 pixels and OSD menu that allows you to individually configure many different parameters of the camera from white balance to contrast. The clarity of this camera up to 60 meters, ie within a radius of 0 to 60 meters you can clearly see a person’s face and license plate number.
Camera ISON AHD50SAF is quite versatile and is often used to monitor the car, parking lot, private homes, business facilities and so on. Of course, it is not cheap, costs more than 10 thousand rubles, and a complete set with a recorder and all accessories will cost you an amount of 20 thousand rubles. Based on these cameras there are also ready-made sets of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 16 cameras, which already includes everything you need for a complete video surveillance system cameras, fasteners for them, cable with connectors, recorder with hard disk, power supplies, power splitter and software. These systems are called ISON GROT.
To be fair, there is also a cheaper version of these cameras ISON AHD50S-CU, these are the same cameras with the same functionality, matrix and quality of shooting except that they have a varifocal lens, i.e. if in the cameras ISON AHD50SAF zoom can be set from a smartphone, in the cameras 50S-CU zoom can be set only on the camera itself hexagon. If you do not need the functionality to move the zoom constantly, you can save yourself a lot of budget without losing in the quality of shooting. Ready-made kits based on 50S-CU cameras are called ISON GROT-S.
4) On the fourth place 8-megapixel vandal-proof dome camera with a wide-angle lens ISON AHD80S-SLMIC based on the Japanese Sony sensor. This camera has gained its popularity due to the fact that it is most often purchased for video surveillance in the entryway, elevator and home territory. With a relatively small budget camera has a vandal-resistant dome housing, wide-angle lens, DWDR, DNR, motion sensor, 8 megapixel 4K shooting quality, night shooting and so on. These CCTV cameras have more budget modifications at 5 and 2 megapixels, and also based on these cameras are ready-made sets ISON VS Entrance, which also includes everything you need for video surveillance.
3) The next camera from our top goes just IP camera, on the topic of the differences between IP and AHD video surveillance we did for you we made a detailed video IP or AHD video surveillance 9 differences, if you want to go more deeply into this moment be sure to watch it, by the way this video is also quite popular has more than 100 thousand views. If summarized in 2 words, there is no definite answer what is better IP or AHD, because both of these formats have their pros and cons. IP cameras are slightly better in quality, but they are more expensive and more complicated in installation and operation. AHD cameras are elementary in connection and operation and as a rule they are a little easier in terms of quality and detail, but now AHD progress has already reached the point that the human eye this difference is almost not visible and some cameras, for example, as a camera 5005s with the 5th place of our top is already ahead of their IP counterparts in terms of quality of filming.
So, in third place we have a 5-megapixel IP camera with built-in microphone, with a slot for SD card, SONY sensor and POE power ISON IP50S-SL based on SONY sensor with HISILICON Hi3516CV300 processor. This camera is loved as bidders and put them on objects from factories to schools and hospitals and private citizens who put them wherever you need high quality sound and video recording from stores and offices to private homes and entrances.
Also this camera can be used without a recorder due to the built-in SD card slot. On the basis of these cameras there are ready-made sets ISON MOL PRO where everything is the same only the cameras already go to 5 megapixels with amplified remote microphones that allow you to cover the sound of rooms up to 150 square meters.
Camera ISON IP50S-SL has all the same functionality as the previous brethren from our top, in addition, it also has a built-in microphone with noise-canceling function.
Separately, it is worth mentioning that this camera has a technology of power transmission over a single cable POE. This is what a professional in video surveillance looks at first when selecting an IP camera, because if this technology is not, you will provide additional power and connectors, and in some cases to the camera will have to pull not 1 but two cables.
2) On the second place we have a popular wide-angle 2 megapixel AHD camera ISON AHD20S-CD with good performance in both day and night shooting based on the already known to us SONY IMX 323 sensor. This is the same camera that in our last rating was in first place. Motion sensor, Full HD resolution, night shooting up to 20 meters on LED diodes, wide viewing angle of 120 ° and all those features that we listed, as well as budget price make this camera one of the most popular for almost 5 years. Ready-made systems based on these cameras have the name ISON PRO S. Separately it is worth saying that at the end of 2021 this camera and updated and now has a well-proven sensor SONY IMX at the same time the price of the camera has not changed.
