In this blog post we’ll discuss everything there is to know about getting CCTV installed.
Where Should The Cameras Be Positioned?
It’s imperative that CCTV cameras are installed in an area which requires surveillance and can capture imagery easily. There is no point putting cameras up if they’re blocked by objects such as trees or walls, so bear this in mind in the first instance. You should also point cameras away for the sunlight to ensure a clear picture at all times.
The best places to put cameras are at the entrance and exits if your property or premises. That way you can capture any footage of people coming and going when they shouldn’t be.
How Is It Connected To An Electric Supply?
Having easy access to an electric supply is imperative to ensure that the cameras work correctly. Regardless of whether your camera system is wireless (run on WiFi) or has a more traditional set up, an electric outlet close by will be required.
How Is The Video Footage Monitored?
Depending on the type of system you opt for, there are a few different ways that your CCTV footage can be monitored.
One of the most popular forms these days is through a smart phone or smart device. These systems simply need you to download an app on your phone or tablet, and you can easily and quickly view all footage which is captured by your cameras instantly.
More traditional set ups have their own monitor within the building itself – this type of system is more likely to be used by businesses within their premises, particularly if they have their own security staff.
