FAQs
What does a CCTV system include?
A CCTV (closed-circuit television) system is made up of cameras, a recording device to store footage, cables between the camera and recorder, and a monitor to view the live or recorded footage.
What should I consider before installing CCTV cameras?
Where you install your CCTV requires careful consideration. For example, are the cameras weather-resistant if placed outside?
Will the angle they are installed at capture major walkways and entrances to a building? Does the camera placement infringe upon privacy rights and regulations?
You may also need to consider additional features such as night vision, remote access or wireless setup for WiFi cameras. Finally, determine how much video footage you need to store and whether DVR, NVR or cloud storage would be most suitable.
What are the different types of CCTV cameras?
IP
IP (Internet Protocol) cameras use a network to send video footage digitally, as well as allow for remote access via an internet connection and are a popular choice in advanced CCTV systems.
DVR
DVR (Digital Video Recorder) systems use analogue cameras to capture video footage, convert it to a digital format and store it on a hard drive. These CCTV cameras are more traditional but still provide handy features like playback and can sometimes offer remote access depending on the model.
Analogue
Analogue cameras capture video footage in an analogue format and send it to a recording device, usually a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). They are suitable for basic home security and are commonly found in older CCTV systems.
Can I access my CCTV system remotely?
Many modern CCTV systems, especially those with IP cameras, offer remote access features. This allows you to view live or recorded footage from anywhere using a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
Are there any ongoing maintenance costs associated with CCTV systems?
Before you purchase CCTV kits to monitor your property, it's important to consider that there are ongoing costs associated with CCTV systems. For example, cloud storage or extra storage capacity may require upgrading depending on your usage, while system software updates can sometimes come with a fee.
