How to Choose the Right CCTV Camera
1. Decide What You Need to See
Start with the area that needs coverage: entrance, cash counter, parking area, corridor, garden, warehouse, reception or perimeter.
2. Choose the Camera Location
Indoor and outdoor environments have different requirements. Outdoor cameras should be selected according to their intended environment.
3. Select the Resolution
Choose resolution according to the amount of image detail required rather than selecting a camera based only on megapixels.
4. Plan Night Coverage
Consider lighting conditions and the camera's night-time performance for areas that require monitoring after dark.
5. Plan Recording Storage
Storage requirements depend on the number of cameras, resolution, recording settings, frame rate and required retention period.
6. Consider Installation
Camera positioning, cabling and configuration can have a major impact on the final performance of a CCTV system.
Check Project Requirements Before Installation
CCTV requirements can vary according to the type of property, business activity, building management requirements and the specific project.
Where approvals or specific compliance requirements apply, they should be confirmed for that particular installation rather than assuming the same requirements apply to every property.
Planning a New CCTV System?
A site survey helps determine suitable camera locations, camera quantity, system type, storage and installation requirements.
