dansleeth 0 Posted May 16, 2016 Good Morning! Could somebody please tell me what 'standard' a camera listed as a HD 1300TVL CMOS Dome CCTV Camera would be? They are £13 from an online auction site but the quality is actually a lot clearer than the cameras we use on our old system at work. If you could also have a look at my post in the DVR section related to this, I would be very grateful! These are the standards that seem to be recognised on most CCTV sites... 1080P 720P 960H 700TVL 650TVL 600TVL 540TVL 480TVL 420TVL PS I searched this site for 1300 TVL but found nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtsecurity 0 Posted May 16, 2016 1300TVL would be around the quality of 1080p. However, we see so much that people believe that TVL is be all and end all of a cameras quality. Ultimately the quality of the chipset on the camera and the DVR processing the images dictates the overall picture. It is easily possible that a camera with 1300TVL and power chipset will not be as good as say a 1000TVL camera with a good chipset. Usually the issue is not obvious during the daytime but at night is when a cheap poorer camera will suffer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SunnyKim 2 Posted May 17, 2016 The camera might be the HD-Analog Camera that can be grouped either to HD-CVI, or HD-TVI, or HD-AHD. They are not compatible each other. So, you have to match the camera with the corresponding DVR box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dansleeth 0 Posted May 17, 2016 Thank you both for your responses. They work with my current box (luckily?). If I can ID that box http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51042 I guess I should be able to find a new more compact box of the same format... right? Thanks again!

So any dvr with 960h will do. Or a system that takes both tvi cvi and analog..... So you can change to better cameras later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
