Security cameras require both power and connectivity to function properly. Wired security cameras typically provide both power and data through a single wired connection, ensuring stable and high-quality performance. On the other hand, wireless cameras generally use a wired connection for power, while data is transmitted through a Wi-Fi, cellular, or other wireless signal.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/fail-safe-vs-fail-secure/</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Dec 2023 16:19:42 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/fail-safe-vs-fail-secure/</guid><description>By Derek Gunny, Solutions Engineer Fail safe vs fail secure Fail safe refers to electronic door lock behavior where a door is unlocked upon loss of power, prioritizing safety by ensuring ease of egress. Fail secure refers to door behavior where a door remains locked when power is lost, usually prioritizing security over ease of passage. Guaranteeing desired fail behavior requires proper electronic lock selection as well as careful integration with an access control unit (ACU).</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/h264-vs-h265/</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Oct 2023 18:25:10 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/h264-vs-h265/</guid><description>By Dan Molenhouse, Solutions Engineer What is a Codec? A codec is a technology used to compress and decompress digital media to more efficiently transmit, store, and play it. During compression, the codec analyzes the data, identifies redundancies, and eliminates or represents them in a more compact form. The compressed data can then be stored or transmitted with greater efficiency. During decompression, the codec reverses the compression process and reconstructs the video file for playback.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/plenum-vs-riser-cables/</link><pubDate>Sun, 17 Sep 2023 15:33:43 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/plenum-vs-riser-cables/</guid><description>Plenum vs. Riser Cabling Planning a networking infrastructure for a building requires a thoughtful approach to the choice of cabling. Understanding where to deploy fire-resistant cables such as Communication Multipurpose Plenum (CMP) and Communication Multipurpose Riser (CMR), will have a substantial impact on your building’s safety. Unrated PVC-type cable jackets are flammable, potentially acting as conduits for fire to spread rapidly within a building. In oxygen-rich environments like plenum or ductwork spaces, the airflow can escalate a minor spark into a major spread.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/stp-vs-utp/</link><pubDate>Sat, 16 Sep 2023 23:32:37 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/stp-vs-utp/</guid><description>STP vs. UTP - What To Consider When Deciding When it comes to running cable for your video surveillance network, one decision to make is whether your cables require shielding. While Shielded Twisted Pairs (STP) provide additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and offer greater durability, it comes at a higher cost. On the other hand, Unshielded Twisted Pairs (UTP) can be used in many indoor environments and save you money if you do not require additional protection for your cables.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/frame-rate-vs-shutter-speed/</link><pubDate>Thu, 17 Aug 2023 20:11:10 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/frame-rate-vs-shutter-speed/</guid><description>Frame Rate vs Shutter Speed Understanding how frame rate and shutter rate impact video quality is key to deciding if a surveillance system will meet your intended needs. Additionally, it is important to understand the tradeoff between enhanced video quality and bandwidth/data storage limitations. What is Frame Rate in a Video? Video footage works by stitching together individual frames. Frame rate is usually expressed as “frames per second” (FPS) and defines how many frames are shown in a second.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/door-entry-methods-for-access-control/</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Apr 2021 17:24:56 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/door-entry-methods-for-access-control/</guid><description>Comparing Door Entry Methods for Access Control As a central part of broader security and surveillance programs, access control is today characterized by the emergence of new technologies, including mobile and cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), biometrics, and wearables, which have quickened the pace of innovation significantly. In this article, we’ll compare the most common keyed, keyless, and touchless door entry methods for access control. What are the pros and cons of each solution?</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/ptz-vs-fisheye-vs-multi-sensor-security-cameras/</link><pubDate>Mon, 08 Mar 2021 18:17:30 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/ptz-vs-fisheye-vs-multi-sensor-security-cameras/</guid><description>PTZ vs. Fisheye vs. Multi-Sensor Cameras - What are the Differences? For the organizations and security teams evaluating video surveillance cameras, there has never been more variety. Despite the continued proliferation of new camera technologies, accessories, and capabilities, one thing remains fundamentally true: the right camera will depend on: Location, placement, and field of view (FoV) requirements Integrations and video management system (VMS) support Options for live and retroactive incident response Footage and zoom quality Purchase, implementation, and maintenance costs Between pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ), fisheye, and multi-sensor cameras, there’s a lot to unpack in terms of similarities and differences, advantages, disadvantages, and cost.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/bullet-vs-dome-camera/</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Mar 2020 05:19:02 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/bullet-vs-dome-camera/</guid><description>Bullet vs. Dome Camera The most noticeable difference between the bullet and dome camera is their shape, which impacts their angle of view, application, and utility.

The main difference between the network video recorder (NVR) and digital video recorder (DVR) is in how they process raw video data. A DVR converts analog footage into a digital format, while an NVR typically only works with digital footage. DVR systems process data at the recorder, while NVR systems encode and process data at the camera before transmitting it to the recorder for storage and remote viewing.</description></item><item><title/><link>https://info.verkada.com/compare/</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Nov 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://info.verkada.com/compare/</guid><description>Comparison Guide to Surveillance Solutions Whether you are evaluating vendors for your organization or researching cameras out of curiosity, delving into the state of modern surveillance technology is no small feat.
