Chapter 4.0: Transmission - CCTV Technology Fundamentals

Posted by Arowosegbe Olawale in General

The transmission system, which includes the cameras, the processing system (including the DVRs, NVRs, and multiplexers), and the monitoring system, is a crucial part of the CCTV imaging chain (i.e. the display). In order to generate a high-quality image on the screen, it is crucial to transmit a robust video signal with low noise. The transmission system is often to blame for the poor quality of a CCTV system's signal.

It is now possible to transmit videos using a wide variety of methods. For a superior end result, premium materials are obligatory. One of the most crucial factors in determining the best method of transmission is the physical separation of the camera, the display, and the storage system. As more and more CCTV systems adopt digital formats, IP-based systems are becoming increasingly popular. Cost of installation, suitability of the current infrastructure, and power availability are additional considerations. When settling on the most appropriate method of transmission, consider the following options. Copper conductors are easily disrupted by environmental factors like noise and lightning, so be careful when using them outdoors. Lightning protection is an unnecessary extra cost that, if not properly installed and maintained, could degrade the quality of the video transmission.
