AHD Security Cameras
These cameras are analog high definition AHD CCTV cameras. They connect to a digital video recorder (DVR) that converts the analog signals into a digital signal for recording.
The AHD system is easy to install and can be used to upgrade any existing security system. It is a cost-effective solution for achieving 720p and 1080p HD surveillance.
AHD-BL25
This AHD-BL25 wide angle HD CCTV camera captures a large 180 degree field of view using its 2.5 mm fisheye lens. It is an indoor / outdoor weatherproof rated camera that can be used for security surveillance in both bright and dark conditions. Its 24 infrared LEDs provide a night vision range of up to 32 feet. Installers can connect this camera to a DVR for recording or directly to an HDMI TV / Monitor for live viewing only.
This camera has a BNC video output that can be connected to either an AHD, HD-TVI or HD-CVI format DVR. It is also compatible with analog CCTV / CVBS devices using its traditional analog output. These cameras are ideal for businesses that have existing analogue infrastructure and do not want to spend the money to replace them with IP cameras.
The advantage of analog security cameras is that they run on closed circuits and do not need internet access like IP models. Therefore, they are less susceptible to hackers and can be secured with firewalls and strong passwords. This is not possible for IP cameras, which must be constantly updated and upgraded.
HD-TVI and AHD are the preferred video formats of CCTV camera manufacturers because they utilize the same cabling as traditional analogue CCTV cameras. This saves a lot of time and money during installation as well as reduces the amount of cable needed to complete the project. This is especially helpful when replacing old analogue cameras in a site that already has a complete infrastructure of traditional coaxial cables such as RG59, RG6, and RG11.
AHD-BL5H
The AHD-BL5H security camera captures video ahd cctv system in HD resolution (that’s 1920 x 1080 or 2 megapixel) and features built-in infrared that sees up to 100 feet in total darkness. It’s enclosed in an IP68 rated weatherproof housing making it ideal for outdoor and indoor use.
Like all EchoMaster AHD cameras, the AHD-BL5H performs well in low or no light conditions. The camera’s built-in infrared activates in these conditions to reproduce black and white images that are comparable to daytime images, allowing drivers to operate their commercial vehicles safely even at night.
This camera also comes with a 2.8 to 12mm variable lens that installers can use to adjust their field of view. This feature allows them to zoom in on the area they want to focus on, and then capture the video at a higher quality than would be possible with a standard fixed lens.
The AHD-BL5H features an easily accessible menu that is displayed on a screen, making it simple for users and initial installers to adjust the image settings. One of these is Smart Noise Reduction, which improves the image by removing graininess, especially in black and white mode.
The AHD-BL5H is also easy to maintain and secure. Unlike IP cameras, which can be accessed directly over the internet, this analog camera uses a closed network that is less vulnerable to hackers.
AHD-AD24H
The AHD-AD24H security camera is an indoor / outdoor rated dome HD surveillance camera with a weatherproof housing to protect the vital components from harsh environmental conditions. It’s ideal for use in applications prone to vandalism and tampering such as schools, shopping malls, and warehouses. This 1080p camera has a built-in 24 infrared LEDs that allow it to operate day and night for 24/7 video surveillance.
The camera features a 2.8 to 12mm varifocal lens that installers can adjust during the installation process for field of view preference. A variety of video settings can ahd security camera also be adjusted using the on-screen display (OSD) joystick including light sensitivity, exposure, white balance, and more.
This security camera is compatible with Viewtron hybrid CCTV / HD BNC DVRs. They support traditional analog CCTV cameras as well as the latest HD BNC camera standards (AHD, HD-TVI, and HD-CVI) and network IP cameras up to 4K resolution.
If you don’t need to record video and want to connect the camera directly to a TV / HDMI monitor for live view only, we have an add-on BNC to HDMI converter that can be ordered with this camera. It can be seen in action on this demo video that shows this camera viewed remotely on an iPhone with the iDVR-PRO mobile app. The video is captured from a iDVR-PRO HD DVR connected to this AHD security camera.
AHD-AD25H
AHD cameras are an ideal solution for those wanting to upgrade their current analog CCTV system to HD without the need for new cabling. This camera uses the same coaxial cable used in traditional analog CCTV systems, allowing installers to run this camera up to 800 feet during an installation without experiencing video loss. Additionally, the use of video baluns will allow installers to use UTP cable (such as CAT5) in place of RG59 coaxial cable for even longer distances.
This AHD security camera offers a high resolution of 720p standard definition, which provides much crisper and clearer details than CVBS cameras. In addition, this model features digital noise reduction and intelligent dynamic range enhancement for enhanced image clarity in challenging environments. These settings can be easily adjusted using the OSD (on-screen display) accessed directly on the camera.
Another important feature that separates this camera from some other Wi-Fi cameras is the ability to utilize two-step authentication and end-to-end data encryption with your router. This will prevent any unauthorized access to your footage and account information.
