A CCTV system is an investment in the safety of your people and property. Getting the design right from the start avoids blind spots and footage you can't use.
Start with a site survey
Identify entrances, cash points, stock rooms, car parks and perimeters. Camera placement matters more than camera count.
IP or analogue?
IP cameras offer higher resolution and flexible network-based installation, while modern analogue HD systems can be cost-effective for smaller sites. The right choice depends on your premises and budget.
Plan for night-time
Choose cameras with good infrared or low-light performance for areas that matter after dark.
Storage and remote viewing
Decide how many days of footage you need to keep and size your recorder's storage accordingly. Secure remote viewing lets you check on your premises from your phone.
Keep it maintained
Dust, spider webs and loose connections degrade footage over time. Periodic maintenance keeps every camera recording clearly.
