Introduction
When it comes to setting up a
surveillance system, the journey begins with selecting the right cable type.
But the discussion doesn't end there; choosing the appropriate communication protocol for your
analog or IP camera is equally crucial for connectivity with DVRs or NVRs. Let's explore the
diverse world of communication protocols, shedding light on the key players in
the field.
Analog
Cameras and DVR Protocols
In DVRs, Analog cameras rely on several
protocols. The prominent
ones include HDCVi, CvBs, CVi, and AHD. These protocols serve as the language through which the
camera communicates with the DVR, ensuring compatibility and efficient
data transmission. Each of these protocols caters to specific needs, providing
alternatives for analog camera connectivity. HDCVi (High Definition Composite Video Interface), CVi
(Composite Video Interface), CvBs (Color Video and Black/White), and AHD
(Analog High Definition) all contribute to the versatility of analog
surveillance systems.
