Cameras

Can I listen to live and recorded audio remotely?
Certainly! All our Security, DVR/NVR systems, are equipped with live and recorded audio playback capabilities. However, you will require an optional audio module to enjoy this feature from any online location.

Can I record audio?
Yes. Ensure the Security DVR/NVR system you select has an audio option. Most analog cameras do not have built-in audio, so you may need a separate audio kit if you choose analog cameras over digital ones.

What kind of Cable should I use?
Use Siamese Cable, an RG59 coaxial cable, and a pair of 18-gauge wires in the same jacket to make installation easy for Analog Cameras. Use Cat 5 or 6 for IP cameras.

What happens if there is a power outage?
In the event of a power outage, Security DVR/NVRs will automatically resume functioning once power is restored. However, we recommend utilizing an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for optimal protection. Not only does a UPS offer a brief backup power source, but it also acts as a safeguard against power surges. Utilizing a UPS can guarantee uninterrupted video surveillance even if an intruder attempts to disable the system by cutting off the power supply.

Can I use my cash register with your POS interface?
Our Security systems work with most PC-based and electronic cash registers. Contact us with the make and model of your record, and we can tell you if your system is compatible.

Can the Security NVR report an alarm?
Yes. If the alarm is triggered, the NVR can contact a monitoring service.

Can I view live and recorded video remotely?
Absolutely! Our Security DVR/NVR systems are designed to be Internet-enabled, allowing you to access live conveniently and recorded video feeds from anywhere. Whether you’re at home, in the office, or on the go, you can easily view and monitor your surveillance cameras remotely using the Internet. Stay connected and have peace of mind, knowing you can keep an eye on your property whenever and wherever you are.

What Network Connection Will I Need for an IP Camera Surveillance System?
Peekaboo Surveillance Cameras can assist you in setting up and customizing motion detection settings to ensure that you only capture and record relevant activity. By adjusting the sensitivity level, you can avoid unnecessary recordings while still being alerted to any significant motion that occurs. Whether you are using a camera or software-based system, Peekaboo Surveillance Cameras is equipped to help you optimize your motion detection capabilities to meet your specific surveillance needs.

How does motion detection work?
Motion detection is primarily a software-based feature that is utilized by security cameras or surveillance systems. When there are changes in the pixels within the camera’s field of view, the software triggers the system to start recording. This enables the system to focus only on significant events, preventing the wastage of storage space on irrelevant footage. To fine-tune the detection, users can adjust the sensitivity settings on most Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) or Network Video Recorders (NVRs). This ensures that the system is not triggered by every minor movement, such as a passing cat, resulting in more efficient use of resources.

What Components Will I Need for This System?
If you’re looking to set up an IP surveillance system, you’ll need IP cameras and a storage system like an NVR. At Peekaboo Surveillance Cameras, we offer a wide selection of IP cameras with built-in microphones and speakers, eliminating the need for additional accessories. Our knowledgeable team can assist you in determining your specific requirements and provide you with the best equipment options to suit your budget. Trust Peekaboo Surveillance Cameras to fulfill your IP surveillance needs.

What is a Security NVR?

What is a video capture card?
A video capture card, or DVR card, is the graphics card inside a DVR system used to capture and store the video feed on the hard drive.
