Anabon field guides
Practical guides for installers, integrators, low-voltage contractors and dealers: troubleshooting, system design, installation practice, camera technology, NVRs and software, compliance, vertical playbooks, bids, business growth and the CASE line — written to be used on the job and handed to your customer with confidence.

Plan a discreet pinhole camera around an approved purpose and site-specific privacy review. Verify CS-I2PN S-3.7mm power, audio, storage and integration before quoting.
Plan local card recording with supported media, continued camera power, a tested retrieval path and verified outage behavior. Slot capacity alone does not guarantee retention or automatic NVR backfill.
Compare CASE analytics by the exact SKU and required event. Verify detection, classification, wider functions, firmware limits and the actual recorder/client workflow before quoting behavior.
Which CASE cameras print a built-in microphone, a speaker and audio I/O, what each audio job (record, talk-down, two-way talk) needs, how to wire external speakers, and the US and Canadian legal checklist before audio recording is switched on.
The printed IR distance is how far the illuminator reaches, not how far a face can be identified. How lens angle, pixel density, smart IR and the site turn IR reach into usable evidence, with CASE rows as printed.
Hazardous-area basics for integrators: NEC Class/Division against ATEX and IECEx Zones, how to read an Ex marking, what a certificate does and does not cover, and how the CASE Project Series explosion-proof line is quoted per project.
Plan PTZ verification and tracking alongside continuous coverage. Confirm actual firmware behavior, model-specific laser safety, power requirements and written warranty terms before quoting.
Compare the exact WDR row and recorded moving subjects at the actual doorway, dock or gate. Check positioning, lighting and available exposure modes rather than promising an image from dB alone.
Plan a wide indoor view from the actual FOV, projection and recording workflow. Verify CS-I5VN S-1.4mm dewarping, coverage and reports before promising a whole room or a channel count.
Separate visible IR video, thermal detection and surface-temperature tasks. Compare exact CASE models, measurement conditions, atmospheric limits and tested alert paths without replacing required safety systems.
