Do you think it is possible to create an intelligent and inexpensive video surveillance system for home, commerce or security, for example, within $ 500? You can't even buy an intelligent camera in such a budget, you might say, but we have an offer.

Less than $ 100 costs an IP video camera that can replace all basic security nodes in a home or office. Multifunctional digital mechanism — seeing, hearing and with an intelligent approach to analytics. If you think that a modern video surveillance system is expensive, and something cheap does not meet half of your expectations, then consider buying the ASTRA-5W model from the Ukrainian manufacturer Intervision.

Every second consumer makes mistakes at the last stage, not paying due attention to the study of small details and visual results. This article and video was created for those who went through all three stages before choosing, but did not decide which one to buy.IP video camera for outdoor video surveillance. We decided to conduct an independent and honest «test-drive» four models of street-type IP video cameras from different manufacturers with different price tags, but at the same time, all devices solve the same problem — outdoor video surveillance at the site during the day, at night and recorded.

Comparative test in real conditions of video cameras of three manufacturers. All IP cameras with a resolution of 5 megapixels. Video cameras that participated in the testing: interVision MPX-AI53PRO, Hikvision DS-2CD2055FWD, Dahua DH-IPC-HFW2531SP-S-S2. All camcorders are taken out of the box. The settings of all tested cameras are “by default”. Testing was carried out both in the daytime and at night. Somewhere the characteristics are different, but camcorders have equal capabilities.

The MPX-AI53PRO outdoor IP camera provides a 5 megapixel image that is compressed by the H.265 + or H.265 codec. It has proven itself in work in objects in low light conditions, it is equipped with a highly sensitive 1 / 2.8 "Sony Starvis IMX335 sensor, a high-quality lens from Cohki Optical with focal power F / 1.4 and powerful IR illumination with a range of 30-35 meters. It can work at temperatures from minus 45 to 60 ° C, equipped with a microphone and POE 48v.

When an unauthorized invasion of your object occurs, the EXPRESS GSM ULTRA gsm alarm system contacts the owners (in the amount of up to 3 people) with a call to the programmed phones, and then sends SMS messages to the programmed numbers. The device includes a built-in siren with an acoustic power of 130 decibels (which can be turned off); it is also optionally possible to add additional wireless sensors and sirens to the system.
