Security camera screen
Do you want to be able to view live camera images clearly? Then a good security camera screen is indispensable. Whether you are protecting a home, shop or business premises, a clear monitor ensures that you immediately see what is happening. This way you can respond quickly when necessary.
Many installations use a special CCTV monitor for this. This type of screen is made to display camera images sharply and reliably, often even when the screen is on for a long time. Bee Alarma Total you will find various monitors and mounting options with which you can easily view camera images. Discover below what options are available and what you should pay attention to.
What is a security camera screen?
A security camera screen, also called a CCTV monitor, is a monitor that is specially used to view images from security cameras. The monitor is usually connected to a recorder or camera system, after which you can follow live camera images.
Most monitors have connections such as:
-
HDMI
-
VGA
-
BNC
-
AV
This makes them suitable for both modern IP camera systems and older analog systems. Thanks to a Full HD resolution, camera images are displayed sharply and details remain clearly visible.
A good example is a compact TFT 10 inch Full HD monitor with wall bracket. This type of screen is often used as a spot monitor at a counter, reception or security room.
CCTV monitors in different formats
Which monitor you need mainly depends on how many camera images you want to view at the same time and where the screen is placed.
Compact security monitor
Smaller screens of about 10 to 13 inches are often used when you want to monitor a specific camera image. For example:
-
a monitor at the reception
-
a screen at the cash register
-
a spot monitor at an entrance gate
These monitors take up little space and can easily be mounted on the wall.
Standard CCTV monitor
22 to 27 inch monitors are often used to view multiple cameras simultaneously. These screens provide a good overview of multiple camera images without losing details.
Large security screens
In larger security areas, screens of 32 inches or larger are sometimes used. This allows multiple cameras to be displayed simultaneously on one screen.
This is often used in:
-
security centers
-
warehouses
-
business premises
-
control rooms
Reliable image quality for camera images
Image quality is important for camera security. That is why many monitors are equipped with functions that make viewing camera images more comfortable.
For example, some monitors have:
-
Flicker Free technology, making the image easier on the eyes
-
Blue Light filtering, so you get tired less quickly
-
Advanced Contrast Ratio, where contrast and brightness are automatically adjusted
This is especially nice when you look at camera images for a longer period of time, for example in a security room.
Monitor brackets for secure mounting
In addition to the screen itself, installation is also important. With a good monitor bracket you can hang a security camera screen safely and neatly.
Removing a monitor from its base has several advantages:
-
you gain space on your desk
-
the screen cannot fall over
-
the viewing angle is more adjustable
There are different types of braces available, such as:
-
fixed wall brackets
-
tiltable wall brackets
-
swivel and tilt wall brackets
-
ceiling brackets
With a swivel or tilt bracket you can easily adjust the screen for the best viewing angle.
