CCTV cameras for homes, shops and offices

Coverage before camera count

Start with a simple site plan. Define whether each view needs general observation or useful identifying detail. Field of view, mounting position, backlight and night lighting can matter as much as a resolution number.

Choose the connection

Wired PoE systems are useful for planned multi-camera installations. Wi-Fi may suit smaller locations with dependable coverage. Remote 4G cameras need a realistic power, data and maintenance plan.

Keep control of the system

Create owner-controlled accounts, unique credentials and appropriate access roles. Agree recording retention and the export process. Position cameras to meet the security purpose without unnecessary coverage of private areas.

• Check daytime and night footage.
• Test recording, playback and time settings.
• Document network and power dependencies.
• Confirm how updates and support will be handled.

Backup belongs in the design

A camera is only one dependency. For continued recording or remote access, consider the recorder, network switch, router and communications link as part of the load plan.
