FAQs
Standalone security cameras, typically employed for monitoring and recording activities in specific areas, operate independently. These cameras do not rely on other devices such as Network Video Recorders (NVRs) or Digital Video Recorders (DVRs); instead, they possess built-in storage and processing capabilities.
Standalone security cameras work independently by capturing and processing video/audio using built-in sensors and processors. They store data internally, often on SD cards, and are powered through electrical sources. Connectivity options like Wi-Fi enable remote access, and features such as motion detection trigger recordings or alerts. These cameras are self-sufficient, eliminating the need for external recorders like NVRs or DVRs.
Advantages of Standalone Security Cameras
- Easy Installation: Simple setup without complex wiring or additional devices.
- Independence: Operates autonomously, providing flexibility for monitoring specific areas.
- Cost-Effective: Budget-friendly option for basic surveillance needs.
- Quick Deployment: Swiftly deployed for immediate monitoring.
Disadvantages of Standalone Security Cameras
- Limited Scalability: May face challenges when expanding surveillance compared to integrated systems.
- Storage Constraints: Built-in storage limitations impact the amount of locally stored footage.
- Limited Advanced Features: Some advanced functionalities, like advanced analytics, may be lacking.
- Dependency on Local Storage: Risk of data loss if the camera is damaged or stolen. Centralized storage solutions offer better security.
