Yes, Pelco offers Special Modification Requests (SMR) to tailor camera features like housing, lenses and mounting to your specific operational and environmental needs. From architectural aesthetics to modular designs, we can build cameras to fit your requirements.

Yes, Pelco IP cameras can be connected to a DVR, as DVR camera systems support both analog and IP cameras. On the other hand, NVR camera systems require an analog-to-IP converter when connected to an analog camera. Because of these differences, IP cameras are best suited for NVR, and analog cameras are more suited to DVR.

Pelco cameras are built with rugged materials and are tested to withstand extreme conditions such as high temperatures, moisture, dust and mechanical shock. Models with IP66/67 ratings, IK10 vandal resistance and explosion-proof certifications help ensure high performance in critical environments, from oil rigs to government facilities.

Pelco’s explosion-proof cameras are engineered for high-risk environments, such as oil and gas refineries, chemical plants and other hazardous areas. With certified enclosures, these cameras meet strict safety standards to prevent sparks or explosions in volatile surroundings.

Pelco cameras support ONVIF standards, allowing seamless integration with a wide variety of third-party Video Management Systems (VMS). This open approach ensures easy installation and compatibility, making it easier to incorporate Pelco cameras into your existing infrastructure.

Pelco’s network cameras can integrate with many leading ONVIF-conformant security systems, including Genetect, Milestone and Salient Systems. Pelco’s IP cameras are built on an open platform and compatible with ONVIF standards, enabling security and IT teams to integrate their Pelco devices with existing security systems.

Elevate is Pelco’s cloud-based platform designed for the centralized management and maintenance of your IP camera systems. It allows for easy configuration, firmware updates and observation of camera health across multiple sites, helping ensure optimal performance with minimal downtime.

Pelco’s cameras offer intelligent analytics, such as facial recognition, object detection and motion tracking. These capabilities help reduce false alarms, increase situational awareness and automate decision-making for proactive security management.

Pelco cameras are equipped with advanced low-light technology, including infrared LEDs and wide dynamic range (WDR), ensuring high-quality images even in dark or challenging lighting conditions. This makes them ideal for 24/7  observation, including at night or in poorly lit environments.

An IP security camera system, also called an Internet Protocol (IP) camera system, receives and sends video footage over an IP network, whether it be via WiFi or Ethernet. In addition to providing security teams with high-quality video, they compress footage for storage and analysis and offer flexible, remote access.

Yes, IP cameras work without the internet. Despite the name, IP cameras only need to be connected to your LAN, or local area network, in order to operate. However, some advanced functionality may be limited without internet access.

Analog cameras utilize less bandwidth and storage but are more limited in function than network cameras. Network cameras offer greater pan, tilt or zoom functionality without sacrificing resolution. Before deciding between analog and network cameras, it is important to consider your security and budget requirements.

Yes, IP security cameras can record audio. Audio analytics help security teams identify loud noises and respond proactively to potential threats. Pelco’s IP security cameras have smart audio recording capabilities, with certain cameras equipped with options to optimize privacy on-site by excluding audio recording.

Choosing the right IP camera can be difficult. Several factors, including price, video quality, range and more must be taken into account. For example, do you need a field-of-view (FOV) or pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) IP camera? Pelco can help. Get in touch with our product experts to discover which IP camera type is right for you.

IP security cameras typically last five to ten years. Their exact lifespan depends on several factors, including environmental conditions, durability and build quality. Proper camera maintenance is a crucial part of extending longevity. PTZ cameras usually require more maintenance than fixed-lens cameras.

The difference between wired and wireless IP cameras is that wired IP cameras transmit video data and power through cables, while wireless IP cameras use Wi-Fi or other wireless technologies.

Key features of an IP CCTV camera system determine the effectiveness, scalability and long-term value of your system. Most types of IP cameras include the following features: 

• High resolution and image quality
• Low-light performance and night vision
• Advanced video analytics
• Connectivity and power options
• Integrations and scalability
• Durability and environmental ratings

You can view IP CCTV camera feeds in a few different ways. For example, multi-camera systems typically use the NVR or VMS. You can also access a camera’s direct IP address through a desktop web browser on the same network. Some manufacturers may have mobile applications for remote viewing.

Pelco’s IP cameras can help secure businesses of all sizes. From small companies to multi-site enterprise organizations, Pelco’s portfolio of cameras are built to meet your unique security needs.
