What IP camera resolution should I choose for an office?

For general surveillance and entrance monitoring, 4 MP is sufficient. If clear face identification or reading small details (documents, banknotes) is required, models from 6 to 8 MP are worth considering.

Can Hikvision IP cameras be connected to an existing recorder of another brand?

Most modern IP cameras support the ONVIF protocol, which provides basic compatibility with recorders from different manufacturers. However, advanced functionality (intelligent analytics, two-way audio, special recording modes) works correctly only within a single ecosystem. Before purchasing, check compatibility with SAT Solutions specialists.

Do IP cameras work without the internet?

Yes. The internet is not needed for local recording to an NVR — a local network is sufficient. An internet connection is required only for remote viewing from a mobile device or another network.

What is the warranty on IP cameras at SAT Solutions?

Hikvision equipment supplied through official distributors comes with a manufacturer's warranty. Exact terms depend on the model and are clarified when placing an order. SAT Solutions also offers extended service maintenance under contract.

IP cameras — guide & FAQ

IP cameras are the foundation of any modern video surveillance system. Unlike analog solutions, network cameras transmit the image in digital format over standard IP infrastructure, which enables high resolution, flexible scalability and remote access from any device. Buying IP cameras in Tashkent today is possible for sites of any scale — from a small office to an extensive network of branches across Uzbekistan.

The SAT Solutions catalog features more than 149 IP camera models in various form factors: dome, bullet and cube. Each form factor solves its own tasks: dome cameras are harder to notice and harder for a vandal to reposition, bullet cameras are well suited to corridors and perimeters, and cube cameras are convenient for indoor installation and integration into face recognition systems. Choosing the right enclosure type is the first step toward an effective video surveillance system.

The choice of an IP camera is determined by several key parameters: sensor resolution, lens type and characteristics, the presence and range of infrared illumination, enclosure protection rating, analytics support and power method. A mistake at the equipment selection stage results in either excessive costs or insufficient recording quality. SAT Solutions specialists help select the optimal configuration for a specific site and budget.

How to choose

Sensor resolution. At least 4 MP is needed for identifying faces or reading license plates; 2 MP is sufficient for a general overview of premises. Higher resolution requires more storage space and network bandwidth.
Lens and field of view. A fixed 2.8 mm lens provides wide coverage — suitable for small spaces. A varifocal lens (for example, 2.8–12 mm) allows the angle to be adjusted after installation — convenient for the outdoors and long corridors.
Infrared illumination. Pay attention to the IR illumination range: for parking lots and perimeters you need 40–50 m or more, while for an office corridor 15–20 m is enough. Some models are equipped with color illumination (ColorVu, ColorHunter) — they provide a color image even at night.
Enclosure protection rating. For outdoor installation, an IP66 class (dust and moisture protection) is the minimum required. An IK10 vandal-resistant design is relevant for public spaces and entrance areas.
