A network camera is a new‑generation camera that integrates traditional camera technology with network technology. It can transmit video images to the other side of the globe via a network. Remote viewers do not need any specialized software; they can view the live footage simply with a standard web browser (such as Microsoft IE or Netscape). A high‑definition network camera consists of a high‑definition network module, lens, camera housing and other components. How should you select a module for a high‑definition network camera? Specialists from Kaimorui will explain below.

Guidelines for Selecting HD Network Modules

1. As a video surveillance product, image quality is always the top priority. It covers image clarity, color reproduction, real‑time performance, low‑light sensitivity, wide dynamic range (WDR) and other features.
2. Product stability, including hardware and software reliability. The module should be feature‑rich, preferably supporting IR with IR‑CUT, two‑way audio, alarm input and output, RS485, auto iris, SD card storage, Wi‑Fi and more.
3. Maturity of client software, sustainability of follow‑up development, support for software customization, compatibility, matching peripheral accessories, and compatibility with back‑end storage devices.
4. Compatibility with mainstream platforms is critical. The module shall be connectable to mainstream NVRs, major domestic and international platform software, and support protocols including ONVIF, GB/T28181 and PSIA.

Apart from the four points above, there are other reference factors for selecting HD network camera modules. You may make your choice according to your actual requirements.
