Frequently Asked Questions

What resolution monitors does Backstreet Surveillance offer for CCTV systems?

At Backstreet Surveillance, we offer 1080p Full HD and 4K UHD resolution monitors specifically designed for viewing security cameras. The HD monitors feature crisp 1920x1080 resolution, ideal for standard surveillance, while the 4K UHD monitors offer 3840x2160 ultra-high-definition clarity, perfect for viewing footage from any 4K-capable camera system. All monitors connect via HDMI to your NVR or DVR, giving you the best possible image quality from your security system investment.

What sizes of CCTV monitors are available?

Backstreet Surveillance offers a range of security monitors for virtually any video surveillance system, including 21-inch, 24-inch, and 32-inch HD 1080p widescreen monitors, as well as a larger 42-inch 4K UHD monitor, with a wall-mounted bracket. Sizes are selected based on installation scenarios to guarantee the clearest viewing experience. Compact control rooms require smaller displays, whereas large security operations centers need expansive screen space to monitor multiple camera feeds simultaneously.

Are Backstreet Surveillance CCTV security monitors compatible with all video recorders?

Yes, every Backstreet Surveillance monitor is universally compatible with both DVRs and NVRs. Each monitor offers multiple input options, including HDMI, VGA, and RCA, providing seamless integration with any video recording system. The recommended connection for the best image quality from your system is HDMI. With HDMI, you purchase any monitor from our selection and be sure it will seamlessly work with your existing or future security camera system.

What warranty coverage comes with Backstreet Surveillance monitors?

Every monitor sold by Backstreet Surveillance comes with the industry's longest warranty, five years from the date of manufacture. This unmatched warranty demonstrates our confidence in our products’ quality and our commitment to total customer satisfaction. The extended warranty protects your investment and provides peace of mind that your surveillance equipment will continue to perform reliably for years to come. This warranty duration is much longer than standard industry coverage, making Backstreet Surveillance monitors an excellent long-term value investment.

Can I connect multiple monitors to one CCTV camera system?

Yes, multiple-monitor setups are fully supported using HDMI splitters, which we can supply. We offer two-way and four-way HDMI splitters that let you split a single HDMI signal from your NVR across multiple displays. This setup lets you view your security camera feeds from multiple locations simultaneously. It’s ideal for businesses with several rooms that require viewing stations or security operations, where redundant display capability is needed to increase monitoring effectiveness.

What are the viewing angles and response times for a Backstreet CCTV monitor?

Backstreet Surveillance CCTV monitors offer 170-degree horizontal and 160-degree vertical viewing angles, providing clear visibility from multiple positions without color distortion or image degradation. The monitors have a fast 5ms response time that reduces motion blur on moving subjects captured by your security cameras. With a maximum brightness of 250 cd/m² and 16.7 million display colors, our monitors deliver a sharp, accurate representation of surveillance footage.

Do I need a monitor permanently connected to my CCTV system?

You only need to connect a monitor during initial setup to configure your NVR or DVR settings; it is not required to be permanently attached afterward. Once your surveillance system is configured correctly, you can disconnect the monitor and use the remote control feature to access your cameras through smartphones, tablets, or computers using the free mobile app. However, many users prefer to keep a dedicated monitor connected for convenient local viewing and quick access to system controls without requiring internet connectivity or mobile devices.
