When choosing a CCTV system, is color important ?
The importance of color, depends on the intended use of the CCTV system. • If the intention is for surveillance of low use areas, a stock room, a back storage lot etc., then black and white is probably adequate. • If the camera or system is used to monitor a cash register, or any area where identification of people is important, color should always be used. A red sweatshirt shows up as gray on black and white film. • The costs of high quality, color CCTV equipment have plummeted in recent years, you may want to consider color in any event.
