And, if you want to buy any of the available security cameras then you must do some technical research before buying any of them. This is because, various cameras are being provided in the market and you can easily get confused if you do not know the technical configuration of the camera, hence, you might probably end up buying the worst one. By now, you must be trying to find out what actually a CCTV camera monitoring appliance consists of. These surveillance systems consist of a digital video recorder and a monitor to display the live images. Today's security monitoring devices are fully digital and most of them are component systems, which eventually means that while you fix the entire system at your home and office you can easily select from the systems' different pieces according to your requirements. There is a good history behind the CCTV camera; it was christened during the times of analog transmissions. At that time a typical video security camera system was not able to broadcast its signals to the general public. In terms of size, a normal monitoring camera is a smaller version of the cameras, which are used in the television studios. Whereas, analog CCTV camera systems consists of a circuit of one or more cameras, and they all are connected to a video recorder via a transmission cable, and the video gets recorded on a magnetic tape, which is generally of a VHS or Beta format. However, the problem with these typical analog cameras are that the used tape had to be ejected every few hours and to be replace by a new one, as it gets full very quickly or a "loop" tape should be used, and when it reaches its end, it just starts rolling again from the beginning re-records over the existing video footage. However, the wireless security camera systems that are being used nowadays are digital and consists of advance CCTV camera, and rather than sending their video transmissions in analog type signals, they send it in either in the binary or the digital form. And later, the camera data is converted into a digital video file, which is either stored on a computer hard disk or any other kind of storage devices or it can also be viewed directly on a digital monitor.
