Choosing a CCTV system can feel overwhelming with so many camera types and recording options available. This guide breaks down the essentials so you can make a confident decision.
1. Map your coverage
Walk your premises and list every area that needs monitoring - entrances, cash counters, storage and blind corners. This determines how many cameras and what lens types you need.
2. Pick the right cameras
Dome cameras suit indoor spaces, bullet cameras cover long outdoor distances, and PTZ cameras let you pan and zoom across large areas. For low light, choose cameras with strong night vision.
3. Plan your recording & storage
Decide how many days of footage you must retain. More cameras and higher resolution mean more storage, so size your DVR/NVR accordingly.
4. Enable remote viewing
Modern systems let you watch live and recorded footage from your phone. Ensure your installer configures secure remote access.
